Additional Comments:
Notes: Thomas Morgan named here is Thadius Morgan in other court records. 
Thadius is listed in the 1860 Haralson County Census as Thomas as well. These 
are the only 2 times that the name Thomas is used in place of Thadius I have 
found in my research. 

Note: Not sure about the spelling of DB Whanandy
