Dena married Henry Morgan on 13 Dec 1891. Children included: Marris E Morgan (son born 5 Feb 1893), Ollie Morgan (born 7 Mar 1894), Charley Morgan (born 9 Dec 1897), and James Morgan (born 30 Aug 1899) and Lula (Morgan) Watson (born 23 Feb 1902). Marris passed away sometime between 9 Jun 1900 and Apr 1910. In a 15 June 1907 record, Modenia showed Marselles vice Marris, and Ollia vice Ollie.

Children also included Carl Morgan although he is not shown in the 1900 through 1920 Census with his parents. He may have been living with other relatives. There is a birth report for Monroe School District 13 that shows Carl Morgan was 13 Jan 1911 in Monroe Co. (there was a midwife). It indicates that father is Henry Morgan born in Monroe, and the mother is Deannie Morgan born in Monroe. His death certificate indicates he was 23, born about 1900, and single. His parents were shown as Henry Morgan and Deliah Hamilton. The informant was C.A. Hamilton of Athens.

Note: One record source in the 1980's indicated that Henry and Modena may be buried "backside near woods".
