Mount Hope schools could then do. She married Fletcher Morrison, a very energetic, industrious farmer. Mr. Morrison owns a great deal of land and lives on the old Dill Bean place, near Mount Hope. Mr. Morrison has a good sized family, all girls except one, Tommie. One of their daughters married Prof. C. C. Kerby, the principal of the Mount Hope Wallace Institute. Another daughter married Mr. Ed. Plaxco, a farmer. Joseph Tyler died several years ago. Martha Ann lives happily with her daughter and has a good home and an abundance in her old age. No better woman lives anywhere than Martha Ann Tyler, nee Stephenson. As a token of my high appreciation of her virtues I have in part dedicated this family genealogical history in honor of her.
Pleasant Wright Stephenson, the third son and sixth child of Hugh W. and Margaret Stephenson, married Miss Margaret (Peggy) McGaughey, the daughter of a major in the Revolutionary War. After the children were nearly all grown the family settled east of Memphis, in Tennessee. There were two daughters and several sons. Jane, the oldest daughter of P. W. Stephenson and his wife, "Peggy," married in Tennessee. She is dead. There were no children.
