# Reorganization Summary Files were grouped based on their content into three primary categories: depositions regarding the Morgan divorce, court proceedings and certifications, and Morgan family records. The depositions group includes testimonies about the marital conflict, while the court proceedings group contains formal legal documents. The family records group includes personal documents like birth records. Two files were left ungrouped due to unclear or truncated content that didn't fit these categories. ## Groups Created - **Depositions_Regarding_Morgan_Divorce**: Depositions and testimonies from witnesses about the marital conflict between Theophilus Morgan and his wife Elizabeth, including her demands for a 'Negro wench' and refusal to reconcile. - **Court_Proceedings_and_Certifications**: Documents certifying the opening of evidence in court, marriage certificates, and other formal legal proceedings related to the Morgan divorce case. - **Morgan_Family_Records**: Records pertaining to the Morgan family, including birth records and other personal documents.
