Morgan, Zackquill

Zackquill Morgan

Problem: Was his first name, Zacquill or Zackquill?

MARRIAGE: First marriage to Nancy Paxton/Paxon in 1755.
MARRIAGE: Second marriage to, Drusilla Springer, Abt. 5 Sep or 5 Oct 1765.

RESIDENCES: Zackquill Morgan built a stone house on his land in Berkeley County, West Virginia before moving in 1773 to the present day Rivesville, Marion County, West Virginia. In 1799, he moved to Monongalia County and founded Morgantown, West Virginia.


RELATIONSHIP:
According to Delbert Henthorn this Zacquill Morgan was from the family of Morgans that founded Morgantown, WV.
[Note: It appears that he "was" the Zackquill Morgan who founded Morgantown, VA/WV. REH]

The Monongalia Story

Fort Morgan. Most of the details of Zackquill Morgan's life are well documented, but exactly when he built his fortified cabin in Morgantown is an open question. Sometime between 1767 and 1774, he became the first permanent settler in Morgantown, began farming and business operations on a scale large enough to have his holdings described as a "plantation" in contemporary accounts, and erected two or three homes for himself and his fellow settlers. About 1770, or possibly a year earlier, he enlarged one of these into a small stockade. Fort Morgan was about 275 feet north of the northeast corner of University Avenue and Fayette Street, about where the B'nai B'rith Hall now joins a bottling plant [1974]. It was located specifically by the late Lawrence Cox, and is remembered by many local citizens.

"The commissioners appointed to adjust claims to unpatented lands in the counties of Monongalia, Yohogania, and Ohio held several meetings during 1781. The first meeting of the board had been held at Redstone Old Fort in December 1779. The meeting of the Virginia commissioners at this site (now Brownsville, Pennsylvania) may have been to emphasize the claims of Virginia to the territory. At any rate, claims were approved of many settlers residing in what is not Fayette, Washington, and Greene counties, Pennsyslvania. (see Monongalia Story, vol. I, chapter VIII).

In April [1781] the board met at the mouth of Elk Creek, in a community beginning to be called Clarksburg. The place was named for the famous pioneer general George Rogers Clark. ... In October a meeting was held at the home of Samuel Lewellin and a final meeting later in the year at the home of Colonel John Evans.

The records of claims approved at these meetings have been largely presented in Vol. I of this work (pp. 156-332), in chronological order as to the recorded date of the first settlement. Several claims had no dates affixed and they are listed below."

The War of 1812

"The War of 1812 ...quickly revived the martial spirit throughout the country and especially to the west of the Alleghenies, where the conquest of Canada was regarded as a summer excursion. Monongalia County was no exception. Volunteers rushed to enlist in the Virginia militia; as a matter of fact, most of the membership of the fifty-two companies were from western Virginia. "West Virginians fought on land and sea in all the major battles of the war."

Volunteers who enlisted at Morgantown joined county companies for muster day drill on the county drill grounds on Spruce Street, where one of the most popular drill masters was Captain Zackquill Morgan, son of the founder of Morgantown.

Three Monongalia County companies were included in a militia regiment of western Virginians commanded by Colonel Dudley Evans in the campaign of General William Henry Harrison in the northwest in 1812-13. Commanders of the three companies were Captain Jesse Ice, Captain James Morgan, and Captain Samuel Wilson. "Great hardships were often experienced in their marches. At times the men had to cut bushes to lie on at night, to keep themselves out of the water."

Captain Jesse Ice's company was composed of fifty-nine officers and privates. Captain James Morgan's company included thirty-nine officers and privates. Captain Samuel Wilson's company was the largest, being made up of seventy-two officers and privates." Among the privates in Captain Samuel Wilson's company were Henry Henthorn and Zackwell Pierpoint. They were brothers-in-law as a result of their marriages to Ridgway sisters, Sarah and Dorcas, respectively.

Henry Yoho Revolutionary War Pension

Applications of Henry Yoho for Revolutionary War Pension

25 Sep 1832

STATE OF VIRGINIA
COUNTY OF MONONGALIA

On the 25th day of September in the year of one thousand eight hundred and thirty-two, personally appeared before the county court of Monongalia now sitting Henry Yoho, a resident of said county, age eighty years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th, 1832.

That he believes it was the year 1776 he served in the Virginia Militia at a station on Whitley Creek now in Greene County, Pennsylvania, then called Virginia, under Lieutenant Samuel Swingler two months.

That in the month of June, 1777 he marched as a volunteer of the Virginia Militia under Lieutenant William Cross of Captain John Miner's company, from Jarrett's Fort on Whitley Creek to Fort Pitt where he encamped on Grant's Hill for one month thence placed in the fort at the head of the Ohio, the troops he believes being under the command of Colonel Gibson. That he remained at Fort Pitt three months and then descended the Ohio in keel boats to a fort at the mouth of Wheeling Creek, for the purpose of burying Captain Foreman and his company, who were killed by the Indians about eight miles below Wheeling. That he remained at Wheeling the residue of his time and was discharged by a general discharge after having served four months.

That during the year 1778, he served as a spy under the celebrated Captain Whetzel three months and during all this time was engaged on the waters that empty into the Monongalia and Ohio in this part of Virginia. That he served as a soldier in Captain Cross' company attached to Colonel John Evans' Regiment of Virginia Militia and marched to Big Beaver on the Ohio and to the headwaters of the Muskington, at which place he assisted to build Fort McIntosh and Lawrence, from which service he returned home on Christmas Day being discharged at Fort McIntosh. That he was absent on this service six months.

That about the month of July in the year 1779, he turned out as a volunteer under Lieutenant Jacob Cline in a regiment of Virginia Militia commanded by Colonel Laughlin to go on an expedition against the Indians under General Clarke. That he went with about three hundred regulars and three hundred militia from Redstone Fort, now Brownsville, Pennsylvania, in keelboats. That Wetzel and himself went before the troops as spies. That he went to the falls of the Ohio at Louisville where he was stationed and in the following winter remained about forty or fifty miles above the falls. That himself and Whetzel and others during the spring and summer of 1780 spied the surrounding country and was discharged in the fall, after about eighteen months service.

That during the year 1781, he was stationed at Mason's Fort on Buffalo Creek, now Brooke County, Virginia. That whilst here he left Mason's Fort to go to Wheeling Fort in company with Henry Baker and Peter Stanater on horseback, that in passing a very narrow path Stanater was shot with four balls. Baker and himself wheeled their horses and seven Indians faced them and shot at him and Baker. His horse received two wounds and fell, and he was wounded through the hip, that the mare soon sprung up, and he forced his way through the Indians without further injury although they reloaded and fired at him.

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any state.

Second Application for Pension Made About 1837

Owing to the remote residence of Henry Yoho in the Hills of Fish Creek, Mr. Singleton has not had an opportunity of examining him, and he having as much inconvenience to himself, traveled and this day appeared before me, and Mr. Singleton being at his residence in Winchester, I have examined Yoho and the following is the substance of his statement. I have not seen his original declaration, nor have I inquired of him what it contains. From a comparison of that and his present statement the truth may be ascertained.

The said Henry having been duly sworn, neith that he was born in Virginia about 18 miles from Winchester, but don't know in what year. He is now in 85th year. His father's family moved to western Virginia when applicant was eleven years old and he has resided there ever since. That he commenced his service in the War of the Revolution as a private in the company commanded by Lieutenant Samuel Singler who was stationed on Whitely Creek, now County of Monongalia, at the house of a settler named Duncan. The company was composed of eighteen persons some of who had been drafted, and the others volunteered. Applicant was of the latter. After remaining a few days at Duncan's the company was marched to Jarrett's Fort in Whitely and remained there one month doing duty. They were discharged and their places supplied by new recruits.

The next year applicant volunteered under Captain Cross and was marched to Pittsburgh. While at that place intelligence was received of the massacre of Captain Foreman and the greater portion of his command at Grave Creek Narrows, ten miles below Wheeling. Thither Captain Cross took up his march and on his arrival buried twenty-two of Captain Foreman's command and thereupon returned to Wheeling and there continued doing service one month when he was discharged having served in the tour four months.

The Spring following, applicant inlisted under Lieutenant Singler for eight months, served two months, when he was permitted by Singler to join Captain Whetzel's company of spies and served there three months. The county they reconnoitered was between Whitely and the Ohio River, near Wheeling, thence to the mouth of Middle Island thence by the way of Fish and Fishing Creeks to Whitely.

The fall following, applicant again volunteered under Captain Cross and joined McIntosh and served in his campaign against the Indians. Fort McIntosh on the Ohio River at Big Beaver and Fort Lawrence on Tuscara, were visited during the expedition. Applicant served four months on this trip and was discharged upon return of the army to Fort McIntosh.

Applicant next volunteered in the expedition led on foot by Captain Clark for New Orleans. The troops rendezvoused at Pittsburgh and were, for a short time, stationed on Minturis Island below Pittsburgh, thence they were ordered to Wheeling, and while at the latter place, applicant and twenty-nine others were detached as a company of hunters to Kinhawa, Lewis Whetzel and applicant were sent out to spy the neighborhood. On their return to camp the next day, the whole command had left. Captain Clark, having in the meantime come on with his command. Applicant and Whetzel thereupon commenced their march up the Ohio, expecting to meet Captain Lougher, whose company consisted of sixty men, and to join them. A few days after, applicant and his companion were informed that Captain Lougher, having landed his boat at the call of a perfidious white man, a numerous force of Indians being in ambush rose upon the whites and massacred all of them excepting four privates whom they made prisoners of. Applicant and Whetzel then left the river and journied to Jarrett's Fort on Whitely. Applicant was about on this expedition two months.

Zackquill Morgan

Problem: Was his first name, Zacquill or Zackquill?

MARRIAGE: First marriage to Nancy Paxton/Paxon in 1755.
MARRIAGE: Second marriage to, Drusilla Springer, Abt. 5 Sep or 5 Oct 1765.

RESIDENCES: Zackquill Morgan built a stone house on his land in Berkeley County, West Virginia before moving in 1773 to the present day Rivesville, Marion County, West Virginia. In 1799, he moved to Monongalia County and founded Morgantown, West Virginia.


RELATIONSHIP:
According to Delbert Henthorn this Zacquill Morgan was from the family of
Morgans that founded Morgantown, WV.
[Note: It appears that he "was" the Zackquill Morgan who founded Morgantown, VA/WV. REH]

The Monongalia Story

Fort Morgan. Most of the details of Zackquill Morgan's life are well documented, but exactly when he built his fortified cabin in Morgantown is an open question. Sometime between 1767 and 1774, he became the first permanent settler in Morgantown, began farming and business operations on a scale large enough to have his holdings described as a "plantation" in contemporary accounts, and erected two or three homes for himself and his fellow settlers. About 1770, or possibly a year earlier, he enlarged one of these into a small stockade. Fort Morgan was about 275 feet north of the northeast corner of University Avenue and Fayette Street, about where the B'nai B'rith Hall now joins a bottling plant [1974]. It was located specifically by the late Lawrence Cox, and is remembered by many local citizens.
(Source: "The Monongalia Story, Vol. 1, by Earl Lemley Core, p. 354)

"The commissioners appointed to adjust claims to unpatented lands in the counties of Monongalia, Yohogania, and Ohio held several meetings during 1781. The first meeting of the board had been held at Redstone Old Fort in December 1779. The meeting of the Virginia commissioners at this site (now Brownsville, Pennsylvania) may have been to emphasize the claims of Virginia to the territory.

The War of 1812

"The War of 1812 ...quickly revived the martial spirit throughout the country and especially to the west of the Alleghenies, where the conquest of Canada was regarded as a summer excursion. Monongalia County was no exception. Volunteers rushed to enlist in the Virginia militia; as a matter of fact, most of the membership of the fifty-two companies were from western Virginia. "West Virginians fought on land and sea in all the major battles of the war."

Volunteers who enlisted at Morgantown joined county companies for muster day drill on the county drill grounds on Spruce Street, where one of the most popular drill masters was Captain Zackquill Morgan, son of the founder of Morgantown.

Three Monongalia County companies were included in a militia regiment of western Virginians commanded by Colonel Dudley Evans in the campaign of General William Henry Harrison in the northwest in 1812-13. Commanders of the three companies were Captain Jesse Ice, Captain James Morgan, and Captain Samuel Wilson. "Great hardships were often experienced in their marches. At times the men had to cut bushes to lie on at night, to keep themselves out of the water."

Captain Jesse Ice's company was composed of fifty-nine officers and privates. Captain James Morgan's company included thirty-nine officers and privates. Captain Samuel Wilson's company was the largest, being made up of seventy-two officers and privates." Among the privates in Captain Samuel Wilson's company were Henry Henthorn and Zackwell Pierpoint. They were brothers-in-law as a result of their marriages to Ridgway sisters, Sarah and Dorcas, respectively.

Daniel KYGER
Born - Abt 1762
Died - 27 Apr 1849 Georgetown, Vermilion, IL
Bur. - Apr 1849 Mc Kendree Twp., Vermilion, IL, Mc Kendree Cemetery

MARRIAGE: Daniel Kiger and Ann Henthorn were married on 9 Feb 1796 in Monongalia Co., VA. Marriage solemnized by James Fleming. [Note: That the surname was spelled, Kiger, on this document. REH]
(Source: List obtained in April 1997 by Monongalia County Clerk, Morgantown, WV 26505 - furnished by Diane Wilson)

Problem: Henthorn/Bell gives the marriage date as: 9 Feb 1796. The marriage is recorded in Monongalia, WV. Others list 2 Sep 1796, which seems to be in error. Probably cause by reading or writing the date 2/9/1796 as 9/2/1796.

LEGAL_MATTER:
12 Feb 1798. James Henthorn, of Mason, KY, by John Henthorn, his attorney in fact, to Daniel Kiger. Cites a 1 Oct 1796 power of attorney authorizing John to sell 1000 acres in Monongalia, now Harrison Co. [WV], on a right hand branch of Big Sandy, adjoining Samuel Lleuellen.

Witnesses: none. Acknowledged in court. No delivery shown. Recorded: Old Series 1:353-354.
