After months of waiting I finally received information from the National Archives on the Civil War pension for my G Grandfather William Curtis Morgan. William married Mary Eveline Townsend and three children were born of this union. One being my Grandmother Hattie (Hester) Magnolia Morgan who married Benjamin Harrison Coatney. William Curtis Morgan died in 1868 of diseases he contacted while he was a prisoner of war at Andersonville POW camp in Georgia. The year after his death his wife Mary married William J. Johnson in Scott County, Indiana. This marriage also produced 3 children. George, Hattie, and Daisy Johnson. I believe George Johnson married a lady named "Bell" and I think they lived in Morgantown, Indiana. I have no other information on these 3 Johnson's and would like to hear from anyone who may have any additional information. One bit of information I found in this file (over 100 pages) was a death certificate for Mary. I was under the assumption that Mary died i!
n Arkansas as the family had moved there in the 1880's. However this death certificate indicates that Mary Eveline Townsend Morgan Johnson died in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana on October 16, 1901. The address on the death certificate indicates she was living with Ben and Hattie Coatney. If anyone can supply any additional information on these people it would be appreciated. Don Coatney
