Morgan Goodson and Mattie Roper( my great-great grandparents) had twenty children-- these are the fifteen that lived to reach adulthood, in order of birth: King Philip, Henry Oliver(Jule), Caroline, Arthur(Lant),James Doc, Betty Ezella, Bracy, Macauley Ware (Fess Goodson), Sadie, Ethel, Archie, Alfreeda, George Dewey, Willie Bell, and Emma Catherine. Among those not to live were a girl named Rosletti (whose name I have taken for some of my fiction), another named Margaret something, and a boy whose name I don't remember.

John Archie Bradson Deramuses' sisters and brothers were:
Nettie Jean, Mary Ellen, Mattie Floyd, J.A.B(himself), Asberry, Charlie Bremen, Lee Benny, Bertie Lee, and Ellie Adams.

Morgan Goodson had four siblings. Perry, George (who was sold to Oklahoma), Henry, and a sister, Rhodie.
