  • Notes 
    • Caroline Alice Whitfield Morgan was born Caroline Alice Whitfield on 23 August 1853 in Caswell County, N.C. She was the fourth and final child of the second marriage of her father, William A. Whitefield, to Sophia D. Briggs. (Note the different spelling of the surname. William always spelled his surname Whitefield, as did all the children from his first marriage. The children from his second marriage adopted the Whitfield spelling, which somewhat complicated and confused the research process.) William A. Whitefield died on 18 September 1857, and his wife Sophia died on 29 April 1859, leaving Caroline and her three siblings as orphans.

      Caswell County court minutes show a record of guardianship for Caroline and one of her brothers; they were awarded to her eldest half-brother, LeGrand Whitefield, who was a product of the first marriage and almost 30 years Caroline's senior. (Guardianship for the other two siblings from the second marriage was awarded to another half-brother.)
