Notebooks - Virginia No. 6, Part 3


Drew, Toby. Genealogies of Virginia Families, Vol. IV Healy - Pryor, Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., 1981.
From the Virginia Magazine of History & Biography.
Bannerman, Mrs. Robert. John Morgan of Virginia & Tennessee - John Morgan (2) who was called Squire & Captain, arrived in what is now Sumner County, Tennessee on the Cumberland River, Nov. 2, 1785. To-gether with his two sons John (3) & Charles (3) built Fort Morgan. In the spring of 1787 he was killed by an Indian. (See Governor William Hall's Narrative [Drapers Papers] and Cisco's Historic Sumner County.)  That he was the son of Charles Morgan (1), of that part of Prince William County, which in 1759 was formed into Fauquier County, Virginia, is proved by establishing, from two different sets of records, the identity of two of Charles (1) Morgan's great-grandchildren.
In the will of Charles (1) Morgan, dated 5 Dec. 1758 probated 22 Sep. 1766, (Will Book I, p. 107, Fauquier Co., VA Wills) he named "My beloved wife Anna" and children: Charles (2), Simon (2) William (2), Benjamin (2), James (2), Alice
(2), Mary (2) & son John (2) Exor.
In the will of Simon (2) Morgan, dated 10 Nov. 1792 probated 25 Feb. 1793 (Will Book II, p. 260 Fauquier Co., VA) he named children: Joseph (3), Charles (3), Simon (3), Jeremiah (3), Suky Clarke (3), Caty Bradford (3), Rosy Cochran (3), wife of William; mentions "late wife;"  Exors. Simon & Joseph.
Charles (3) Morgan had a son Daniel (4) Morgan who went to Mason County, Kentucky, and in the Court of that county, on Jan. 10th, 1820, proved that Armistead H. Morgan & Susannah Fike, late Susannah Morgan, who at present is the wife of Elijah Fike, are the reputed and only children & heirs-at-law of Jeremiah (3) Morgan, deceased an officer of the Revolutionary War and reputed brother of General Simon Morgan, deceased; which is ordered certified to the Secretary of War. Mr. P.M. Hamer, of National Archives, states: "The records of the General Land Office now in the National Archives show that the Commonwealth of Virginia issued military bounty land warrant 6439 for 2666 2/3 acres on April 14, 1821, to Armistead H. Morgan & Susannah Fike, the Children & heirs-at-law of Jeremiah Morgan, deceased, for the latter's services as an Ensign of the Virginia Continental line. Armistead H. Morgan & Susannah Fike did not use this warrant to obtain a patent to land, but on May 1st, 1821, assigned their right & title in it to Daniel Morgan of Mason Co., Kentucky. The warrant was located on certain tracts of land in the Virginia Military District, Ohio, by Daniel Morgan and his heirs and by other persons to whom parts were assigned from time to time." 
The identification of Daniel (4) Morgan is made clear, when in Mason Co., Kentucky at Washington, on Jan. 11th, 1832, in an affidavit, he stated that he was the son of Charles (3) Morgan (heir-at-law of his brother John (3), Ensign of 13th Virginia Regiment and son of Simon (2)).  He desired to obtain to assignment of the lands, on Warrant No. 3874, for another 2666 2/3 acres to Which Ensign John Morgan was entitled and who had died in the War. These papers at the National Archives contain much information on two Morgan families, of Fauquier County. 
The above records therefore identify the great-grandchildren of Charles (1) Morgan thus: (1) Charles - (2) Simon - (3) Jeremiah - (4) Armistead H. Morgan & his sister (5) Susannah Fike. 
In January of 1906, Matthew M. Bright, Attorney, of Fayetteville, Lincoln Co., Tenn. (now deceased) compiled the records of two great-grandsons of John (2) Morgan, Sr. (called Squire & Captain); the earliest record was that of James Fike, of Fike's Ferry, Perry County, Alabama, the second record was that of Matthew's father, General John Morgan Bright (twelve years a Congressman from Lincoln County, Tennessee) written in his ninetieth year and concluded January 29th, 1906. The Fike record was prepared in 1864.  In neither record were dates given.
James Fike states: "My great-grandfather [John (2) Morgan] had seven sons: John, Charles, Joseph, Isaac, James, William & Armistead." He further states: "My great-grandfather [the said John (2) Morgan] also left five daughters, towit: Charity, Mary, Alcey, Susan. [later on he adds Phoebe] of Mary (3) he states that she married her "Cousin Morgan by whom she had two children Susan (4) and Armistead H. Morgan (4). Susan married Elijah Fike and had children. Armistead moved to Mississippi. 
I wish to thank Mrs. Bert Smith of Bowling Green, Kentucky for giving me the data contained in the affidavits of Daniel (4) Morgan, for even though I obtained later on the will of Jeremiah (3) Morgan, in Logan County, Kentucky, it was in the affidavits that Jeremiah was named as the brother of Gen. Simon Morgan, son of Simon. 
By the kindness & alertness of Mr. Simon Dewitt Settle of Bowling Green, Ky., I was given the record of the marriage of Jeremiah Morgan and Mary Morgan on 28 Nov. 1789 in Sumner Co., Tenn. He certified that he had made the copy from the Court House at Gallatin. Furthermore he supplied a copy that he made at the Court House in Logan County, Ky., the Court Houses being about twenty miles apart. The executors are also of interest. The will of Jeremiah Morgan names as executors, wife Mary, Captain John (2) Morgan [Jr. her brother], Col. William Cage [of Sumner Co., Tenn.], Major Henry Bradford [of Davidson Co. Tenn.]; some of whom formerly came from Fauquier County, Virginia; will dated 17 June 1795; and codicil was added July 25th 1795. [Will Book A, p. 1].
In Deed Book E, p. 111, Logan County, Kentucky is the following: This Indenture made this 30th day of Sept. 1816 between John Fike & Mary Fike his wife, formerly Mary Morgan of the county of Logan, State of Kentucky, of the first part, and William Stewart of the second part; conveying 200 acres in Logan Co., Kentucky.

Patents issued during the Regal Government - in the Land Office at Richmond are the general patent books of the Commonwealth. Full abstracts of these patents, in the order of time, are being published by Mr. W.G. Stanard in the Virginia Magazine of History & Biography. But there are also in the Land Office brief abstracts of the patents arranged by counties, and the Editor thinks that their publication in this order would be of great interest and value to those who desire to make a study of any particular county. As the seat of the oldest settlement, James City county is taken first.

Mary Hopkins was a daughter of Dr. Arthur Hopkins of Goochland County. Dr. Hopkins was probably born in New Kent County, Virginia, about 1690. About 1710-15 he married Elizabeth Pettus of New Kent. He bought land on "Ye Byrd Creek" in Goochland County in 1731 (in the deed he is styled "Arthur Hopkins of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover County, physician.") He was appointed a justice of the peace for Goochland County in 1737, was high sheriff in 1739-1741, and was a member of the vestry of St. James Northam Parish. Between 1731 and 1750 he acquired much land in Albemarle, Fluvanna & Goochland Counties. In 1751 he bought lots in the new town of Beverly at Westlawn. He was a Colonel in 1752 and a citizen of Albemarle in 1762. His will, 31 May 1765 - 12 March 1767, named his wife Elizabeth, sons Samuel, John, Arthur, William and James, daughter Isabella and son-in-law Col. Joseph Cabell, and he mentioned his married daughters but did not name them.
