     Biographical note 
 Caroline Cox Morgan (1821-1867) was born in Piqua, Ohio, to Leonard James Cox and Maria Fenwick Cox. Caroline spent her childhood living in Franklin County, Kentucky. She had an older sister Catherine Isabella    Bella  (1805-1873) and three brothers Louis, Cornelius, and Leonard. Bella married Sidney Sherman in 1835. Towards the end of 1835, Sherman gathered a group of men and went to Texas to fight in the Texas Revolution. After fighting in the battle of San Jacinto in 1836, Sherman returned to Kentucky for Bella and 12-year old Cornelius Cox. They settled in Harrisburg. Caroline joined her sister in Texas in 1843 and married Kos (Kosciusko) Morgan, son of Colonel James Morgan, in September 1843. Her brother Louis Cox, who worked on a river boat, died in 1840. In 1849, Cornelius Cox left Texas for California during the Gold Rush. Caroline had 8 children, six of whom lived to adulthood included Fannie Belle, Charlie, Mary Olivia, Ophelia Cecilia, Maria Caroline, and Ellen Latham. Following the death of Kos Morgan in 1865, Caroline moved to Kentucky to care for her elderly mother. She died in 1867 in Kentucky of tuberculosis.
