JAMES MORGAN

James Morgan was of Welsh descent though a native of Virginia, and
his wife
was an English lady named Cox. They removed to Ohio in 1806, and settled
in Franklin
Township in the spring of 1808, raising a crop of corn that year. He had
a family of ten children,
to wit: Jesse, Isaac, John, James, Joseph, William, Jonathan, Sarah,
Rebecca, and Hannah, not
one of whom is living in Wayne County. He died of dropsy in 1822, and is
buried in the
graveyard on the Jacob Bucher farm. In the early days "Priest" Jones
used to preach at Morgan's.
Jesse, his oldest son, perished in a snowstorm near the present site of
Indianapolis;
he was on horseback, the drifts overwhelmed him, he got into a swamp,
became lost and
died.
