Levi Morgan
Levi Morgan (born 26 June 1766 in Morgantown, West Virginia) is regarded as one of the greatest frontiersmen in West Virginia history. His Grandfather was Colonel Morgan Morgan, a Welshman who is noted for being the first white settler in the hills of West Virginia. Levi never knew his famous Grandfather but did know his Grandmother. Levi's father, Colonel Zackquill Morgan, was a very prominent man who had the friendship of George Washington as well as others. The Morgans were merchants and wealthy landowners. Levi grew up around the Delaware Indians and spoke their language, but that did not keep him from siding with the whites. He took part in many Indian wars including one in Marion County, West Virginia. Levi was found frozen to death, in Kentucky in 1825. A sad end for an epic life. A statue to Levi Morgan stands in the mid Ohio valley town of New Martinsville, Wetzel County, West Virginia. ==External links==
