Subject: [ORPHANAGES] Orphanage at Morgan's Point, Harris county, Texas, USA,during the late 1800s.

All of my life my parents, aunts and uncles told me that my maternal grandfather and his two sisters lived at an orphanage at Morgan's Point just north east of La Porte, Texas, USA. from 1866 until 1900. The girls left earlier than 1900 because one of their paternal uncles came from New York and took them there to meet their fathers family.
All of the older generation (but one) are now dead (she is 99) , and Morgan's Point is almost totally covered with shipping containers, few homes and fewer historical markers.
Does anyone out there have any solid evidence of where the home was, and what ever happened to the records? Was it swept away by the 1900 storm as was the St. Mary's
home in Galveston? Right now I would just like to get conformation of the home being at Morgan's Point.
