==Early life==
Morgan was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He served as a merchant sailor; and at one point he suffered a mutiny and spent two weeks in a lifeboat when his ship USS ''Berkley'' was set on fire.〔Eicher, p. 397.〕 In 1834 he moved to Quincy, Illinois and opened a cooper shop. There he married Jane Strachan, with whom he had two sons before she died in 1855. Being active in the Illinois Millitia he led a company of mounted riflemen into the Illinois Mormon War. When the Mexican-American War erupted Morgan's unit became company G of the 1st Regiment of Illinois Volunteers and joined General Zachary Taylor in northern Mexico. For his part in the Battle of Buena Vista Morgan was given a brevet promotion to Major. After the war ended he resumed his business in Quincy.〔Hughes, pp. 95–96〕
