Jane Morrison was the daughter of William Morrison, a Primitive Baptist Minister, and Elizabeth (Snider) Morrison. "Jane married James Able who was largely reared in Tennessee and after his marriage began farming in that state, but subsequently disposed of his property there and took up his abode in Calhoun county, Alabama, where he purchased land and carried on general farming until his labors were ended in death. ... He died on the old homestead at the age of sixty years and his widow, Jane, afterward kept their children together until they were grown and able to care for themselves. She was married a second time, becoming the wife of Mr. Leather, by whom she had one child, Caledonia.
In the family of James and Jane Able there were fifteen children:
1. Mrs. Nancy Burson;
2. William, of Alabama;
3. Joe, who died in Arkansas as the result of a wound sustained in the army;
4. John, who died in Hunt county, Texas;
5. James M., md. Elmina Hodges, removed to Cooke County, Texas;
6. Frank, who died in Alabama;
7. Moses, who was killed;
8. Thomas, who laid down his life for the South while serving in the Confederate Army;
9. Doc, of the Indian Territory;
10. Mrs. Sarah Williamson;
11. Mrs. Caroline Kinsey;
12. Mrs. Melvina Cristofer; and
13. Mrs. Susan Brannemann.
All of the eight sons served in the Confederate Army and five uncles of the family served through the Mexican war, so that the family record is a splendid one for military bravery." (Edited & abbreviated)
