1850 Census, Cherokee Co. AL. Jesse Morgan is shown as being in agriculture. Children are, James, Martha Samuel

Sep 2, 1850 he purchased 55.7 acres of land in Cherokee Co.

Most likely Jesse Morgan was born in Jackson County, GA. According to a letter to my mother dated 22 July 1981 from the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, GA. He was listed as being from Apple Valley, GA. He graduated 1857.
When he and his father's family moved to Cherokee Co. he had not started to medical school. The letter stated he was a graduate in 1857
so, I don't know how long a medical school was in the time frame.

According to family Dr. Burns contacted an illness that he was treating his patients. The U.S. Federal Census Mortality Schedule index says he was 40 years of age, occupation: physician, doctor, surgeon and died of consumption.

He married Sarah McGhee on Jun 19, 1845. They had 6 children. James Madison, Martha E., Samuel Newton, William Brantley, David Abraham and Robert D Burns.
Two of the children died as young children. William Brantley and Robert D.

I have been unable to find a burial place for Martha Eveline or Samuel Newton.
My family comes from James Madison Burns.
