Georgia about 1822 and arrived in
Texas with his parents around 1845. His first wife died and left him
with two small children, Lewis and Eugenia. Delilah Campbell, daughter of
James C. Campbell and Clora Warbington, was born in
Alabama in 1828 and married William L. Moreland in 1847 in
Cherokee County, Texas. He died and left Delilah with two small
children, Lieuvenia and William Moreland.

Delilah Campbell Moreland were married in
Henderson County, Texas. Four children were born there who were named
James C., Henry Jr., Emily, and Beauregard. In about 1864 the family moved to
Mt. Zion community in
Hopkins County, and there four more children were born: Andrew J.,
Pinckney, Ellen L., and Amanda.
