Mary Jane Holshouser Morgan
I have a death cert for Mrs Mary Jane Morgan, widow, dau of Crawford Holshouser and Mary Harkey of Rowan Co. Her death cert states she was born May 6, 1868, but I believe it was more likely 1866 or 1867 since Crawford Holshouser m1 Elizabeth Harkey Nov 6, 1865 and m2 Frances Mills Nov 20, 1867. Mary Harkey on the death cert is probably the same as Elizabeth Harkey on the marriage record.
Mary Jane Holshouser Morgan was the mother of at least two children, Jacob Alexander Morgan born Jan 29, 1887 according to his death cert, and George Monroe Morgan born May 5, 1893 according to his tombstone. Mary Jane and son Jacob lived in the Gold Hill/Morgan Twp area in 1930. Son George moved to Healing Springs Twp in Davidson Co.
I have not been able to determine who Jane's Morgan husband was. The 1930 census and her death cert state she was widowed. The descendants of George Morgan believed her husband had "run off" leaving her to raise the children alone. They seem to remember the name Frank Morgan, but no one is sure. Jacob Alexander Morgan's death cert lists his father as unknown and Mary Jane's death cert does not name her husband.
Is anyone familiar with this family?
