JAMES Morgan

All of Colonel Morgan's children were born in Delaware before the family moved to Virginia, probably in 1730, except two, or probably three, of the youngest. A record found at New Castle, Delaware, recorded at the Immanuel Protestant Episcopal C hurch, shows the birth of James as being September ___, 1715. Therefore, he was a lad of fifteen years of age when his father made the first "covered wagon" trip recorded in our family, which, though comparatively short, was as perilous, no doub t, as those longer wagon trips made in later years by his descendants, when Oregon was the goal.

The very ruggedness of the wilderness, some misfortune perhaps, or the inheritance of a tender constitution, may singly or severally have worked to overwhelm the youngster, for if the statement of the brother, David, is to be relied upon, he gav e up the struggle within the year and found a grave in the wilderness at the age of sixteen. This, no doubt, was one of the early, if not the first funeral, of a white resident of the State.

But here the record, meager as it is, is contradicted by tradition which will not down, and very recently statements have been brought forward, which, if correct, will change to a large extent the trend of opinion of most of the family, with ref erence to the statement of David, as well as tradition current among members of the Morgan family in Berkeley county. The tradition referred to is as follows:

James Morgan married and had a family of several children at the time of the breaking out of the Revolution, in which war he served. He lived near the old homestead in a small place of a few houses now called Torytown, so named from a tragic sce ne enacted there, in which he was the victim of the fiendish deviltry of the Tories that infested that part of the county. Major Morgan had obtained leave of absence from the army, and was on a visit to his family, when he was captured by the mu rderous Tories and taken from his house and carried to a small building, used as a spring or milk house, which stood just across the road from his residence. The wife and small children were ranged in the highway in front of the building and com pelled by the Tories to witness the scene of their deadly and atrocious work. Standing him in front of the door of the log milk house, the foundation of which exists to this day, with his hands tied behind his back and a lighted candle placed a t his breast to serve as a mark at which to aim in the darkness, they there in the presence of his miserably distracted wife and children, shot 17 balls into his body. From that day until now, the place has been known as Torytown, and yet appear s on the map of West Virginia.

The account goes on to say that after this tragedy the family grew up and the eldest son, James, Jr., married and had a family of several children. He was preparing to move his family to the south when one day while working on an axe handle, h e met with an accident from which he later died. After his death the widow and children went to South Carolina.
In recounting the above tradition, James is variedly referred to as being a Chaplain or a Major in the Revolution, but no record is found with the War Department or in the Congressional Library at Washington, of his having served in that war, un less he was one of the James Morgans found listed in Capt. William Raymond's Company of Virginia Militia stationed at Prickett's Fort on the Monongahela. This is not likely since James lived on the other side of the Alleghenies, and was a man o f 62 years of age at that time. If he was an officer, his record should be in existence.

By referring to the above list of Colonel Morgan's children, it will be noted that David says that Nathaniel Thompson, the first husband of his sister Anne, was murdered. It is pointed out that all the statements of David may be reconciled if w e go on the assumption that it was Anne's husband, Thompson, who was shot, or murdered by the Tories, and not her brother James; and it is suggested that while the tradition, in the main, may be correct, an error has slipped in at this point, b y reason of its longevity and frequent repetition.

Morgans yet living on the old plantation remember seeing the seventeen bullet holes in the old milk-house door before the building gave way to the ravages of time.

The most recent account of James Morgan (given by Mr. W. J. Seaman, of Missouri, who claimed to be a direct descendant), is to the effect that he married Margaret Hedges and settled down near the parental roof; that he served in the Revolution , and while on a scouting trip, or on a journey from Prickett's Fort to his home in Berkeley County, was shot by an Indian in the year 1778-9; that later his son James, Jr., and others of the family, moved to Ohio County, near Wheeling, and no w have descendants living all through the middle west.

The records at Winchester have not been searched for data relating to James Morgan being a resident, land owner, or taxpayer in that county, and in the absence of anything definite along these lines, the above accounts are given for what they ar e worth and in no way vouched for.

Notes:

(1) State of West Virginia, Report of the Col. Morgan Morgan Monument Commission, Charleston, WV: Jarrett Print. Co., 1924, pp. 35-99:

David Morgan, the third child of Col. Morgan Morgan, sometimes called the "Indian Fighter," was born in Delaware, May 12, 1721 (see record in sketch of Col. Morgan), and was but a boy nine years of age when his parents moved to the Valley of Vir ginia. He married Sarah Stephens, a Quaker lady of Pennsylvania., and settled on a farm near Winchester. He was a surveyor, and was appointed by the Colonial Governor of Virginia to assist Stephen Holsten to make surveys and explorations in sout hwestern Virginia. Afterwards he was appointed one of the commissioners on the part of the Colony of Virginia to assist Col. Washington in 1746 to locate and establish the northern boundary of the Fairfax estate, which was to be the boundary bet ween Maryland and Pennsylvania. That historic monument they erected at the head of the north branch of the Potomac, known as the Fairfax Stone, was the consummation of their labors. Afterwards he assisted Gen. Washington in taking up those fin e tracts of land on the Monongahela and Ohio rivers, known to this day as "Washington Bottoms." (The truth of these statements has always been accepted as fact by the Morgans, and the writer has. made no attempt to verify them.)

Some authorities state that David moved to the mouth of the Redstone Creek, Pa., in 1769, remaining two years, and then moved to the Monongahela, about six miles north of Fairmont. This seems to be an error, since his son, Evan, in a sworn state ment made in 1833, in his application for Revolutionary War pension, now on file with the Pension Department at Washington, says that, "I was born on Town Creek, now in Allegany County, Maryland, in 1753; that while an infant my father moved fro m Town Creek to Frederick County, Va., and in 1773 removed to Monongalia County."

He settled on a large farm of well-laying land about a half mile west of the river, and the same distance from the present village of Rivesville. The Indians were troublesome all during this period, and for mutual protection, the settlers erecte d a fort in 1774 at the mouth of Prickett's Creek, which was called Prickett's Fort. This was on the opposite side of the river from David's farm, and about a mile distant. No record is found of David having been molested by the Indians until th e spring of 1779, when he had his famous encounter with two of them on his farm, which has been recorded by contemporaneous writers. It has been stated by those cornpetent to know that he killed seven Indians during his life time, but it is no t known at what period the other five were sent to the Happy Hunting Ground, whether before he moved to the Monongahela, or after. The main incidents of the fight with the two Indians are essentially the same, as told by different writers, the o nly difference being in the details. The reader is referred to Wither's Chronicles of Border Warfare, pp. 276-9, and Myer's History of W. Va., Vol. 1, pp. 209-12. The following account is given by descendants of Stephen, the boy the Indians wer e after at the time. . . .

It was in March, 1779, a canoe was discovered floating down the Monongahela River on which were stains of blood and bullet holes through its sides. This led the settlers contiguous to Prickett's Fort to suspect that Indians were lurking throug h the country, and in all haste they repaired to the fort. Among those who took refuge in the fort was David Morgan, at that time near sixty years of age.

Near the first of April, being unwell himself, he sent his two youngest children, Stephen, a boy of sixteen years, and Sarah, a girl of fourteen, to the farm, which was on the opposite side of the river about a mile distant, to feed the cattle a nd to do other chores. Unknown to their father, who supposed they would return immediately, they took their dinner, intending to remain all day clearing land for melons, and to feed the stock before returning in the evening.

Accordingly, Stephen set himself to work, his sister helping him in various ways, and occasionally going to the house to wet some linen that was bleaching. While the children were in the house eating their dinner, they heard a suspicious noise o utside; on going to see what produced it, they heard what appeared to be footsteps running away, but failed to see any one. Lunch being disposed of, they went prattling to their work, unconscious of the danger lurking so near, which nothing bu t the interposition of High Heaven could avert. The savages observed the direction the children took to their work, and made a reconnaissance of the place, found the youths were there alone, and knowing their intended victims were at hand when w anted, they entered the house, and found a plentiful supply of bacon, stale bread and a churn of sour
cream that had been left in the haste to get to the fort on the first alarm, of which they ate an enormous quantity. When satisfied they took a portion of the bread and bacon, and each tied up a bundle of clothing and other articles about the ho use that suited their fancy, then started for the children, laying their bundles beside the path to be taken up again after they had disposed of the youths. But upon ascending a slight eminence that concealed the view of the children from the ho use, they discovered Morgan with his gun. . . .

Morgan being ill, as before stated, fell asleep and dreamed he saw Stephen and Sarah running around the fort yard scalped. Not being superstitious, he gave it no thought, but again falling to sleep, dreamed the same a second time. On awaking h e inquired about the children, and being informed of their determination to remain all day, his solicitude became very great. Seizing his rifle he hastened to the farm, fearing he would find the realization of his dream.

But upon ascending an eminence that overlooked the field he saw, to his great joy, his children alive and busily talking while at their work. Seeing nothing that indicated danger, he seated himself on a log to rest, and picked his flint and exam ined to see if his gun was in order for use, then walked directly to the children, in plain view of the house for three or four hundred yards, unobserved by Indians. While conversing with the children, and at the same time scanning the woodland s and fields, he espied the two Indians approaching from the direction of the house, and at the same instant they discovered him. They immediately halted, and patted their hands on their mouths uttering a bow-wow-wow sound, and making other gest iculations in derision of the children. Morgan, not wishing to suddenly alarm the children, carelessly remarked: "Stephen, there are two Indians; you run to the fort and I will fight them." He crossed the fence and covered himself behind it. Th e Indians took to cover behind the trees.

Morgan delayed the action to afford time for the children to escape. Each party hastily matured their plans for attack and defense, and to Morgan, at least, moments lengthened into painful delay. He was aware of the .odds against him?not a sho t could be wasted, and he determined not to fire until he had decoyed the Indians into open ground. He selected the route to run and the trees behind which to take cover. He allowed the Indians to gain on him until they crossed the fence, but th e adroit savages were on the alert. They separated as far as possible each time they moved after Morgan, who saw he soon would have one on each side of him. They were now near enough to commence effective work, and imperative necessity demande d that he should dispose of one. During these maneuvers he had taken a sapling too small to protect him, and from this he selected a large oak, and ran to it in a way that allowed the large Indian to reach the small tree he had just abandoned a t the same time he arrived at the large oak. He taking it, the Indian was compelled to take the small one. It being too small to protect him, he threw himself flat on the ground beside a log, peeping from one side and exposing the point of his s houlder, at which Morgan aimed and fired, the ball ranging through his body to his hip. The Indian threw himself on his back and stabbed himself twice to the heart, and expired partly by his own hand. When examined after the encounter, two bulle ts were found in his mouth, placed there for convenience in reloading.

As soon as Morgan fired he looked round for the small Indian and discovered him taking deliberate aim at him. Morgan ran in a zig-zag course, looking back over his shoulder at the Indian as often as circumstances would permit. He accidentally ra n against a small dogwood bush which first yielded to his weight, then sprang back, throwing him out of the course of the ball the instant the Indian fired. Each now had an empty gun, but the savage was still armed with a tomahawk and scalping k nife.

Each now advanced on the other?Morgan with his gun raised to strike, and the savage brandishing his tomahawk. Morgan closed on the savage, who, to avoid a stroke of the gun, threw his tomahawk at Morgan's head, who warded off the blow with the g un. This cut off a finger of his left hand and nearly severed two others, and cut a deep gash in the iron gun barrel. Morgan still advanced, the savage slowly retreating. The Indian seized a dry pole and struck at Morgan, but Morgan now dealt hi m a blow on the head with such force that the savage fell to the ground, and the gun was broken off at the breech. Before he could repeat the blow with the barrel, the Indian sprang to his feet and closing with Morgan, attempted to gouge his eye s, but instead, ran the thumb, of his right hand into Morgan's mouth, who clinched it and held fast until the affray was ended. . . .

Now commenced a desperate struggle?Morgan repeatedly threw the Indian but was unable to hold him down. So round and round, up and down, over logs, against trees and saplings, the fierce en-counter for life went on. Finally Morgan found his stren gth failing, and knew the Indian would ultimately overpower him in the struggle. So, he affected to give up, but really to await developments while he had strength to act as the emergencies presented themselves.

The Indian now without difficulty confined Morgan's elbows under his knees on the ground, one hand being fast between Morgan's teeth. With the other hand he attempted to draw his knife, but fortunately for Morgan, the savage while in the house h ad seen a woman's apron, and pleased with its bright colors, had taken and bound it around his waist above the knife, thus hindering him getting at it quickly, and he had great difficulty in getting it out from the rawhide scabbard which fit i t very tightly. He could not draw it out directly, but worked it up with his thumb and finger until the handle passed quite through his hand. Morgan saw that was the opportune moment, and quickly jerked his arm from under the Indian's knee and g rinding his teeth on the thumb to disconcert him instantly seized the handle while the savage held firmly to the blade. He drew it through his hand cutting it to the bone. The savage now saw his condition had greatly changed, and made an attemp t to get away, but Morgan seized him round the neck and the Indian raised him to his feet. The savage seemed greatly surprised and alarmed and exclaimed "Wooh," and struggled violently to free himself from Morgan, who said, "I'll wooh you now, " and thrust the knife into his side and cut, turned and twisted, and worked it in so far that he could not draw it out. Finally the Indian's nerve gave away and Morgan let him fall, and took a few steps and sat down. He took the Indian's gun t o load and while pouring the powder into his hand, some fell on the cut fingers, and the smarting caused him, for the first time, to be aware of his loss. Morgan arrived at the fort greatly exhausted from so great a struggle against a powerful y oung Indian.

When he related the story of his adventures to the occupants of the fort, great excitement seized upon the men, and they repaired to the scene of the encounter expecting to find more savages than the two Morgan had killed.

The war had been going on for five years and each one held the image in his mind of a scalped sister, a brother, a parent, or a whole family massacred by the savages. The very name Indian often was a synonym of horror and extreme disgust. Knowin g these were on a similar mission, they were in a very unfavorable attitude to bestow compassion. On arriving at the spot where the desperate struggle had been, the wounded Indian was not to be seen; but trailing him by the blood which flowed pr ofusely from his side, they found him concealed in the branches of a fallen tree. He had taken the knife from his body, bound up the wound with the apron, and on their approaching him, accosted them familiarly, with the salutation, "How do brudd er, how do brudder." Alas! poor fellow! their brotherhood extended no farther than to the gratification of a vengeful feeling. He was tomahawked and scalped; and, as if this would not fill the measure of their vindictive passions, both he and hi s companion were flayed, their skins tanned and converted into saddle seats, shot pouches and belts. . . .

When the children started for the fort, Stephen greatly outran his sister, and when he gained a hundred yards, or so, would wait until she would catch up, then scamper off again, until he ran to the top of the hill overlooking the river. He ra n down the very steep slope, and on reaching the river, undressed and swam over, believing that his father had been killed. He went into an abandoned house near where Catawba now stands, and finding an old leather hunting shirt, wrapped it abou t him and went crying to the fort. The sister coming to the river, and not seeing Stephen in sight, hid herself in a hollow tree. In a short time her father came past on his way to the fort, but he was so covered with blood that she did not reco gnize him, supposing him to be an Indian. He, however, espied her and called her to him and they crossed the river together to the fort.

Some historians assert that David tomahawked and skinned the savages, but this is a mistake, for he was not on the ground after he returned to the fort. Being wounded and exhausted from the loss of blood, and from the fatigue of the encounter, h e retired to the bed which he had so recently left. He possessed a high character for honor, beneficence, morality, and intelligence; was a member of the Episcopal Church, and lived in the highest esteem among the early settlers. Dr. De Hass, i n his history of Virginia, giving an account of these adventures says, "Of those who removed with their families to Prickett 's fort was David Morgan, one of the earliest settlers of the frontier, and a man of great energy of character, and o f sterling worth." This was the character he bore among the settlers of the border and he took care to imprint these traits on his own family.

Although this Indian fight took place 145 years ago, there are those living who were contemporaneous with Stephen in his old age, and Dr. J. J. Morgan, of Buckhannon, now in his eighty-fifth year, remembers seeing him and hearing a part of thi s account from his own lips.

In 1889 the descendants of David Morgan erected a monument (see photograph) on the spot where fell one of the Indians. On the day of the unveiling there was on exhibition at the spot, a shot-pouch and saddle skirt made from the skins of the Indi ans. For many, years this shot-pouch has been in the possession of a relative in Wetzel County, but has become lost in the last few years. The knife with which the Indian was killed has been in Marion County for many years.

David Morgan had eight children, all of whom were born before he moved to Monongalia County, the youngest being about four years old at that time. They were:

1?Morgan, born Dec. 20, 1746.

2?James, born April 5, 1748.

3?Evan T., born March 1, 17 53.

4?Elizabeth.

5?Zackquill, born September 8, 17 58.

6?Stephen, born October 17, 1761.

7?Sarah, born 1765.

8?Catherine, born January 16, 1769.

Of this family, David, and four of his sons, Morgan, James, Evan and Zackquill, all served in the Revolution in one company, with William Haymond, Captain, and Morgan Morgan, Ensign. (See photostat of payroll.)

The oldest son, Morgan, married a Prickett, and settled on Buffalo Creek, but was living on White Day Creek, on the east side of the Monongahela, and some six miles from Fairmont, at the time of his death. His will is recorded at Morgantown, i n which his children are all named. Among them is a son, James, called "Buffalo Jim," either on account of his large size, or from the fact that he was born on Buffalo Creek. This James Morgan, who was the great-grandfather of Governor E. F. Mor gan, was a captain in the War of 1812, and the memorandum book he carried with him at that time is now in the possession of the writer.

James, the second child of David, married Hannah Cox, of Morgantown, and moved to Ohio in 1806, being the only one of the children to leave the state. He had a large family, which became scattered, and his descendants are now found all through t he middle and far west. He was one of the first settlers in Wayne County, Ohio, and the marriage of one of his daughters to a Butler, was the first wedding in the county. The names of two of his sons are found on a bronze tablet on a monument er ected in one of the northern counties of Indiana, placed there on account of their bravery in defending a fort against the attack of the savages. Others of his children, as well as grand-children, went to Oregon in ox-teams, over the Oregon Trai l, in 1852.

Evan, the third son of David, lived on a farm about six miles east of Morgantown, which is now owned by his descendants. He lived to be almost a hundred years old, and was the last survivor in West Virginia of the Revolutionary War soldiers. Hi s military record, as given by the Pension Department, is as follows:

In 1774, under Col. A. McDaniel, he aided in destroying the Indian towns on the Muskingum River.

From March, 1776, to April, 1777, he was a private in Capt. John Nelson's Co., Col. DeHaas' Pennsylvania regiment.

From May or June, 1777, three months, in the militia in a company under his brother, Captain Morgan Morgan.

From the fall of 1777, three months, under Captain Zadock Springer.

In the summer of 1778, three or four weeks, under Col. Charles Martin.

From July, 1779, seven weeks, four days, under Capt. Mason and Col. Broadhead.

In 1780, or 1781, he was commissioned Ensign by the Governor of Virginia, and as such, served at various times scouting on the frontier.

He also served in Captain William Haymond's company, as noted elsewhere.

Zackquill Morgan married Lina West, September 18, 1834, and settled on a farm near his father. His military record reads very much like that of his brother Evan's and will not be recorded here. A photograph shown elsewhere, records the rate of p ension he drew for this service.

Stephen, the youngest son, was born in 1763, and died 1849. He is the boy the Indians were after when his father came to his assistance. He married Sarah Sommerville, of Clarksburg, and lived and died on his father's old farm. He was elected t o several county offices, from time to time, and several of his sons became eminent in politics, Honorable William S. being elected twice to the United States Congress, and, in addition, was a naturalist of some note, and was employed by the Smi thsonian Institute until the time of his death in 1875. Stephen lived to an advanced age and lies buried with his father in the family graveyard, but no stone marks his grave.

Of the daughters of David, Elizabeth married Abraham Lowe, Sarah married Abraham Burris, and Catherine married Major James West. Nothing further is known of them except that each was the mother of a large family, and Sarah is buried near Morgant own. A monument was erected at her grave a few years ago.

David Morgan died in 1813, and is buried on the old farm within sight of the spot where he had his famous Indian fight. The inscription on his headstone, which is now almost obliterated with time, states that he was 92 years old, lacking four da ys.

Much more could be said about him, but space will not permit.

ZACKQUILL Morgan

Colonel Zackquill Morgan, next to the youngest child of Col. Morgan Morgan, was the founder of Morgantown. The exact date of his birth and death is not known. We know that he was born prior to 1737, probably 1735, and a court record shows he wa s dead in 1802. One record states that he died January 1, 1795, but we have no proof of its correctness.

Shortly after the settlement of the Decker's had been wiped out by the Indians, Zackquill Morgan appeared on the scene and built the first cabin in what, in later years (1785), became known and was incorporated as Morgan's Town. Just when Zackqu ill came to this locality is not known, and investigation has not added to our knowledge, but has simply lead to greater complication and mystery.

When George Morgan, Indian agent, was holding an investigation at Pittsburgh in 1777, to determine whether the whites had unlawfully taken possession of the Indian's lands, Colonel William Crawford appeared before him and testified that, "Zache l Morgan, James Chew and Jacob Prickett came out in that year (1766), and he was informed by them that they had settled up the Monongahela; that he has since seen Zachel Morgan's plantation which is on the south side of the line run by Mason an d Dixon; and that he believes that to be the first settlement made in that country."

This would seem to settle the matter, but a deed is on record at Uniontown, Pennsylvania, showing that Zackquill was a resident in Bedford County in 1771. In that year Zackquill, a resident there, and his brother Morgan, of Berkeley County, sol d their farm on Braddock's road near Fort Necessity, and Zackquill is presumed to have moved to the site of Morgantown. The records further show that Zackquill never took up land in Monongalia county in his own name, but that on April 29, 1781 , "Surveyed for Zackquill Morgan, assignee of Isaac Lemaster, 220 acres of land in Monongalia County, on Decker's Creek and the Monongalia River, including his settlement thereon in the year 1772, agreeable to and in part of a certificate for 40 0 acres from the commissioners of adjusting claims to unpatented lands in Monongalia?James Chew, asst. to John Madison, Surveyor." This certificate was issued to Lemasters, February 26, 1780. Morgan, as assignee of James Stockwell, also receive d 400 acres more. Another statement is, that Zackquill came from Berkeley County, settled for a time on George's Creek, in Pennsylvania, and then came to the site of Morgantown.
Did Zackquill settle at the site of Morgantown before going to Pennsylvania? Then why did he not put in his own claim instead of getting the land through Lemaster's claim? Was Lemaster here as a tenant for Morgan in 1772, while Morgan may have b een elsewhere, or in Pennsylvania, and then did Morgan, to prevent any claim of Lemaster, have Lemaster assign the land to him (Morgan)? No one knows. Morgan is not the only instance of this kind, as numerous such cases are found in the county.

In October, 1785, Morgantown was established by an act reading as follows:

"Be it enacted by the General Assembly that 50 acres of land, the property of Zackquill Morgan, lying in the county of Monongalia, shall be?laid out in lots of half an acre each, with convenient streets, which shall be?established as a town by t he name of Morgan's Town."

The lots were to be sold out at public auction, which was to be advertised two months previously in the "Virginia Gazette"; the purchaser of each lot was required to build upon it within four years a house eighteen feet square, with a brick or s tone chimney. In 1789, the General Assembly, in view of representation "that Indian hostilities and other causes" prevented house building, extended the time three years; and in 1792, five years longer time was granted the lot holders to build , "from the difficulties in pro-curing materials." The difficulties that beset the hardy pioneers are thus graphically depicted.

Zackquill Morgan's very unusual christian name is spelled in many different ways in old records, which is not surprising when we consider that educational advantages in Virginia at that period, were not of the best, and many of the backwoodsme n could barely read and write, and generally spelled by sound. Accordingly we find: Zacquil, Zacquill, Zackquillian, Zacwell, and Zackll, but rarely Zackquill, which according to the old Episcopal Church record book at Bunker Hill, is the way Co lonel Morgan Morgan originally spelled his son's name.

History has not followed the footsteps of Zackquill Morgan so closely as it has his brother David, the Indian fighter. Previous to the Revolution his block house stood on the north-west corner of Main and Walnut Streets, Morgantown. In the Revol ution he was in command of the Virginia minutemen, a regiment raised in Monongalia, and what is now Marion county. He, with about 600 troops, was with General Gates at the battle of Saratoga, in October, 1777, and in that battle lost nearly hal f his men. He served all through the war with distinction, and died several years after peace was declared. It is said he lived in the old Morgan homestead, occupied by his grand-daughter, Drusilla Morgan, now owned by Max Mathers, in which is f ound some of his furniture, as well as an oil painting of himself.

In 1783 Zackquill Morgan was returned on the assessors list for that year, as having license to keep an ordinary or tavern; so it seems he was the first hotel proprietor in Morgantown, as well as the first settler. His residence was used as a co urt house until such time as a suitable building was constructed.

Colonel Zackquill Morgan married, first, Nancy Paxton, and had three daughters; Nancy Anne, who married John Pierpont, Temperance, who married James Cochran, and Catherine, who married Jacob Scott. His second wife was Drusilla Springer, a siste r to Col Zadoc Springer of Pennsylvania, whose line leads back to the Springers who founded Wilmington, Delaware. Their children were.:

Levi, born June 26, 1766.

Morgan ("Spy Mod") born November 7, 1767.

James, born November 24, 1771.

Uriah, born July 22, 1774.

Zadock, born July 24, 1776, died young.

Horatio, born April 9, 1778.

Captain Zackquill, born August 8, 1782.

Sarah, born Feb. 11, 1784, married James Clelland.

Hannah, born September 9, 1786, married David Barker.

Drusilla, born October ___ 1788, married Jacob Swisher.

Rachel, born June ___, 1790, not married.

The above dates are not vouched for, but have been given out, as we understand, by the D. A. R., so are given here. Observation shows some irregularities, such as all the sons heading the list, and all the daughters coming at the bottom of the l ist, etc. It will also be noted that Zackquill's sons were all too young to have been in the Revolution.

Levi, Spy Mod, and James were all noted Indian scouts, and their names, especially that of Levi, are frequently found in border history. They built a fort on the Ohio, where New Martinsville now stands, and their watchfulness prevented many an I ndian surprise and attack on the defenseless settlers in the Monongahela valley. After the Indian wars were over, Levi and Spy Mod settled with their families in what is now Wetzel county. Levi later went to Kentucky where he died, and Mod is bu ried not far from Pine Grove, Wetzel county.

Mr. F. F. Morgan, of Pine Grove, owns the farm on which Spy Mod lived at the time of his death, and was a "buddie" to the old man for a few years before his death in 1853. Mr. Morgan tells many interesting stories of Indian encounters David, Lev i and Spy Mod had in their earlier days, which he got first hand from Spy Mod himself. Some of these stories have been recorded in the pages of history, but the larger number, by far, are preserved only in the minds of those who heard them recou nted. They are all interesting, and one or two of the shorter will be recorded here.

James Morgan, a boy ten years old, and Levi his brother, aged fifteen, set out from the site of Morgantown to visit their uncle David at Prickett's Fort. Their father, Col. Zackquill Morgan, accompanied them a part of the way. Tying his horse ne ar Booth's Creek, he helped the boys across the stream. Looking back he saw an Indian standing by his horse. Levi shot the Indian but the discharge of the gun frightened the horse, which broke loose and ran home. Knowing the return of the riderl ess horse would cause the greatest alarm at home, he made a raft and descended the Monongahela river as the quickest way of getting home. He was fired on by an Indian while on his way, but was not struck. The boys pushed on till near the site o f Smithtown, where they came on the body of Thomas Stone, who had been shot and scalped that day. He had come from Redstone Old Fort with Robert Ferrel and James West, to look out lands. On White Day Creek Levi shot a Wyandotte Indian who was i n the act of crossing that stream on a log. The boys were now afraid to cross the stream, and worked their way down to the mouth of the creek, where they discovered a canoe with three Indians and two white women and a child in it. They would hav e fired on the Indians, but their guns had gotten wet in the rainstorm which had been raging for two hours, and would not go off. The Indians afterward took shelter under the cliffs on the creek on the Marion county side, and after inhumanly abu sing their prisoners, lay down to sleep. In the night a large rock over them gave way and fell, crushing into a shapeless mass all alike,?the red demons and their tortured victims.

In 1791, General St. Clair organized the expedition which met with such signal defeat on the 4th of November, 1791. In this expedition as scouts were Levi Morgan and James Pindell, while in the ranks as regular soldiers, were James and "Mod" Mor gan. Levi shot an Indian who was in the act of shooting "Mod," and in the retreat, when his brother James gave out, "Mod" declared that no Indian should ever kill a brother of his, and drew his tomahawk over James as though he would kill him, wh ich had the desired effect of rousing James to another effort to flee. The next day after the retreat, when all the men were stiff and sore, Levi engaged in various feats of dexterity to show how little effect the terrible retreat had had on him . The reader is referred to Wither's Chronicles of Border Warfare for other encounters of Levi with the Indians.

Some of the children and grand-children of James, the third son of Zackquill, crossed the plains in covered wagons, as did the descendants of James, the son of David.

Zackquill married Nancy Paxton in 1755. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Morgan Morgan, JR.

It was the custom in the olden days to name the eldest son after the head of the family. We have departed from this custom until today it is more often found that the youngest son bears the fathers name, and Colonel Morgan Morgan set us the exam ple by naming his youngest son Morgan, Jr.

Morgan Morgan, Jr. or Morgan 2nd., as he is sometimes called, was born in Virginia, March 3, 1737, and died there October 20, 1797. On November 17, 1761, he married Mary Gossett, born 1731, and died September 13, 1817. Five generations named Mor gan Morgan lie buried in the Bunker Hill cemetery, and grave stones mark all their graves with the exception of Morgan 2nd. It is stated that at his request he was buried under the porch or entrance platform of the old church, and for this reaso n no grave marker is found.

He followed in.the footsteps of his illustrious father, and was an influence for good in the community in which he lived. He was lay-reader at the Bunker Hill church, which his father helped found, and took a very active part in religious affair s. The family of the first and second generations always considered him as being a minister, and always referred to him as such. The reader is referred to Bishop Meade's article (appearing elsewhere) for a fuller account of his life, and this ar ticle will also settle the argument with reference to his being a minister. He did preach, but was never ordained. A manuscript book containing three of his sermons is now in the possession of a distant relative living in Washington, D.C. A phot ograph of two pages of this book is shown elsewhere, which will give some idea of the educational attainments and ability of this son of the forest, who, in all probability, was never in a. school house in his life.

He was also a Justice in the county of Berkeley, and we see by a court order, dated February 22, 1775, that he and others were directed to view out a road from Providence Mounts' Mill, by Augsberg Ferry, to Catfish Camp, which is now Washington , Pa. This may have been a continuation of Col. Morgan's old road, the first in Berkeley county.

With the exception of Charles, Morgan Morgan, Jr., was the only one of Col. Morgan's children to remain in Berkeley county, and but few of his descendants are found in that locality today. From time to time, the Colonel had disposed of parts o f his original grant of 1000 acres, until in 1765 but 182 acres remained in his possession. He and his wife had been living with Morgan, Jr., for some time, and on April 2, 1765, he deeded this last portion of his plantation to them for 100 poun ds English money. Morgan Morgan, Jr., lived on this farm until the time of his death, when he gave it to his son Zackwill, by will bearing date October 16, 1795. Zackquill sold it to his brother Morgan Morgan, 3rd, by deed bearing date July 25 , 1810, consideration being $2,730.00 cash. The signatures to this deed show that Zackquill wrote a legible, though poor hand, while his wife, Rachel, made her mark. The history of the farm has not been traced further, but at the present time 8 2 acres of it is still in the possession of a descendant of Morgan Morgan, 3rd.

Morgan, Jr., had a family of five sons and four daughters, as follows:

1?Phebe, born Sept. 20, 1762, not married.

2?William, born Nov. 1, 1764, died young.

3?Eli, born Oct. 27, 1766, died an infant.

4?Mary, born Sept. 28, 1768, married Thomas Lewis.

5?Morgan 3rd, born

6?Catherine, born July 20, 1773.

7?Zackquill, born April 17, 1776.

8?David, born Oct. 19, 1778.

9?Rebekah, born Jan. 27, 1782.

Of the sons, three lived to reach manhood and became heads of families. Morgan, 3rd, remained in Berkeley county on his father's farm. Zackquill disposed of his possessions in Berkeley, and moved his family to Tyler County, (now Wetzel) later go ing to Ohio, where Cincinnati is now located, but moved back to West Virginia and settled near Fairmont. At that period the Indians were yet troublesome in Ohio, and Zackquill's daughter related some hair-raising experiences the family had wit h them while living at the site of Cincinnati. Beset by all these dangers, Zackquill escaped them all only to be killed by a saw-log rolling over him while living in Fairmont region. David, the youngest son, inherited a four hundred acre farm fr om his father, located between Fairmont and Morgantown ,where he moved about 1804. Many of his descendants are living in the central part of the state at the present time.

The Morgans have ever been fond of the name "Morgan Morgan," and it is frequently met with in every generation; but the descendants of Morgan Morgan, 2nd. have the distinction of being the only branch, so far as known, that has handed down the n ame unbroken from generation to generation, and we find Dr. Morgan Morgan, 6th now living in Martinsburg, and his young son is Morgan Morgan, 7th.

Morgan married Mary Gossett on 17 Nov 1761. Mary was born in 1743; died on 13 Sep 1817. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
