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

The Gurley/Cagle Connection - A second-hand report (dating back to an unidentified Cagle researcher in 1931) has provided the following item, which seems to relate to the Cagles of Montgomery County:
John Gurley married Mary Cagle in North Carolina. His orphan children came to Morgan Co., Alabama about 1825, with their uncle John Cagle. They were Jessie, 1823-1906, married Elizabeth Lowery of Bulox Creek, York Co., SC; Polly married John Brisco; John, d. Hartselle, Alabama, Tillman, the oldest son, stayed in North Carolina.
Regarding the location of John Cagle and his nephews, the Gurley orphans, the writer has been unable to locate any records on them in early Morgan Co., Alabama, nor do they seem to appear in the 1830 Alabama census. However, looking into later Alabama records, it is noteworthy that the Gurleys seem to be living in Marshall Co. (adjoining Morgan Co.) at the time of the 1850 census; the family seems to consist of three teenagers, each of whom was living in a separate household, as though they were orphans;
Gen. Jacob Lots/Louts/Lotts, the third child of Jonas Lotz was born 21 Dec. 1760 in Stoverstown (now Strausburg), Virginia, in that part of Frederick County that became Shenandoah County in 1772. He died 12 Oct. 1839 in Wilkesville Township, in that part of Gallia County [Ohio] that became Vinton County in 1850. He served in the American Revolution. Soon after Jacob was released from service, he was married to Sarah Wolf/Wolfe, otherwise known as Sarey. Sarah's mother, Mari (sic) posted marriage bonds for Sarey Wolf to Jacob Loots (sic) on 22 Dec. 1782 in Shenandoah County, Virginia.
Sarah was born 17 Oct. 1761 in Frederick Co., VA. Some records say she was born in Staunton, VA. She died 6 Oct. 1837 in Wilkesville Twp.
Sarah's mother, Maria Gertrude (Brumback) Nisewanger Wolf otherwise known as the widow, Mary Wolf, was the daughter of Melchior & Mary Elizabeth (Fishback) Brumback of Prince William Co., VA. Melchior emigrated from
