He died 6 Jul 1802 in Winchester, Frederick, Virginia. ^[2] Daniel Morgan (July 6, 1736 – July 6, 1802) was an American pioneer, soldier, and politician from Virginia. One of the most gifted battlefield tacticians of the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), he later commanded troops during the suppression of the Whiskey Rebellion (1791–1794).

Born in New Jersey to Welsh immigrants, Morgan settled in Winchester, Virginia. He became an officer of the Virginia militia and recruited a company of soldiers at the start of the Revolutionary War. Early in the war, Morgan served in Benedict Arnold's expedition to Quebec and in the Saratoga campaign. He also served in the Philadelphia campaign but resigned from the army in 1779. ^[3]

Notes

• Daniel Morgan.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Daniel Morgan (July 6, 1736 – July 6, 1802) was an American pioneer, soldier, and United States Representative from Virginia. One of the most gifted battlefield tacticians of the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), he later commanded troops during the suppression of the Whiskey Rebellion (1791–1794).

American Revolution. After the American Revolutionary War began at the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, the Continental Congress created the Continental Army on June 14, 1775. They called for the formation of 10 rifle companies from the middle colonies to support the Siege of Boston, and late in June 1775 Virginia agreed to send two. The Virginia House of Burgesses chose Daniel Morgan to form one of these companies and become its commander. He had already been an officer in the Virginia militia since the French and Indian War. Morgan recruited 96 men in just 10 days and assembled them at Winchester on July 14. He then marched them 600 miles (970 km) to Boston, Massachusetts in 21 days, arriving on Aug. 6, 1775. His company of marksmen was nicknamed "Morgan's Riflemen."

Morgan's company had a significant advantage over the others. Instead of the smooth-bore weapons used of most British and most American companies, his men carried rifles. They were lighter and easier to fire, and they were much more accurate, but slower to re-load. Morgan's company used guerrilla tactics, first shooting the Indian guides who led the British forces through the rugged terrain. They then targeted the officers. The British Army considered these guerrilla tactics to be dishonorable; however, they created chaos within the British ranks. [1]

General Daniel Morgan - Sharpshooter

In 1753 Winchester, Virginia, was a wild village of sixty homes, with one tavern and one Anglican church. A newcomer named Daniel Morgan, age 18, arrived that year to claim some inexpensive farm land, to operate a sawmill and drive a wagon. Daniel was of Welsh descent, the son of a New Jersey farm laborer whom he did not want to identify as his father because of their constant arguments and ongoing estrangement.

In 1754, 250 years ago, Virginia Governor Dinwiddie faced the beginning of the French and Indian War. Military supplies had to be transported as part of Gen. Braddock's attack against Ft. Duquesne. Daniel was hired to haul supplies between Winchester, Fort Cumberland and the District of West Augusta (today's southwestern Pennsylvania). Daniel saw young George Washington in his first military action. After Braddock's defeat, wagons were needed to transport the wounded to safety. Daniel joined the Virginia Rangers in 1756, and in an Indian ambush, a musket ball was shot through his mouth. After Gen. Forbes's victory at Ft. Duquesne in 1758, Daniel returned to hauling produce and hardware in and out of Winchester. He fell in love with Abigail Curry, and they had two daughters, Nancy and Betsy.

In 1771 The governor of Virginia commission Daviel Morgan as Captain of the Frederick County Militia.

In 1774 Captain Daniel Morgan was in charge of his troop during Lord Dunmore's War

In 1775 Congress voted to raise ten companies of frontier sharpshooters. Daniel was made captain of one Virginia company. He served with Benedict Arnold in New York and New Jersey battles. The great American victory over Gen. Burgoyne at Saratoga, in 1777, opened the way for the French to enter as allies in the American Revolution.

When Washington quartered his troops at Valley Forge, Daniel patrolled and blocked loyalist farmers from selling food to the British troops. Critics of Washington wanted him to be replaced as commander. Daniel voiced his view that "party matters" had no place in a republic. Col. John Neville supported Daniel's views, but Daniel resigned because he did not get the acclaim he expected for his views and military role.

Daniel returned to his family when the British army moved into Georgia and Charleston. But Washington called Daniel back into duty, and he agree, provided he got the rank of Brigadier General. Congress finally did agree to that promotion, plus a valued gold medal. He served there with Lafayette and Mad Anthony Wayne. He also added two slaves, Nat and Toby, to his family. Daniel suffered from severe sciatica, which he described as "a glimmering glimpse of eternity." Cornwallis surrendered to the Americans at Yorktown on October 19, 1781, and Daniel was called to arrange housing at Winchester for the British prisoners. Then Daniel resigned his commission. He was 46. He served 6½ years in the Revolutionary War.

Back at Winchester, Daniel had Hessian prisoners of war build his home, which he named "Saratoga." Daniel's daughter Nancy married the son of Gen. John Neville, Presley, in 1782 when he served in the Pennsylvania Legislature. She bore fifteen children. Nancy's sister Betsy Morgan married James Heard, who unfortunately was a drunkard. She bore four children.

Washington agreed in 1791 to place an excise tax on distilled spirits. This hit hard the settlers west of the Allegheny mountains. Those opposed to Washington and the tax, as anti-federalists, protested and refused to pay. In 1794 Washington named his friend Gen. John Neville to be the Inspector of Revenue for western Pennsylvania. When Neville began to enforce the tax, open violence broke out against him in July, 1794. This has been called the Whiskey Rebellion. Washington and Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury, called out 13,000 militiamen to stop this treason against the United States. In order to maintain peace and discipline at Pittsburgh (and perhaps to protect his daughter, Nancy, wife of Presley Neville), Daniel Morgan returned to active duty. He effectively commanded into 1795 some 1,200 militiamen (one of whom was Meriwether Lewis, who in 1803 would begin the Lewis and Clark "Corps of Discovery" expedition to the Pacific ocean).

Daniel was a activist, but not an intellectual. He had pride as a Federalist in the new Constitution and in what he called "my country." He found a new focus in religion, claiming that it was the basis of a stable country. His last public service was as a Congressman from Virginia. When Washington died in 1799, it motivated Daniel to write his will. He favored his wife and Nancy Neville, but shorted Betsy and her alcoholic husband. Daniel died on July 6, 1802, first buried in a Winchester churchyard, then moved during the Civil War to Spartanburg, South Carolina, for fear Yankee troops would steal his body.

Prisoner in Quebec Campaign

Per Wikitree contributor Chet Ogan, General Morgan spent 13 months with Thomas Ogan in the Quebec campaign with (and without) General Arnold; they were fellow prisoners in the convent and monastery in Quebec. Though Thomas Ogan was in Capt. Matthew Smith's Pennsylvania rifle company along with Capt. Hendricks (who was killed in the attack in which Morgan was wounded), Morgan was in command of the expedition across the wilderness of upper Maine.

Following Thomas Ogan's parole and release, Thomas joined Morgan's Riflemen 11th VA CL for the remainder of the War until Sept 1781. Subsequently, Daniel Morgan wrote a letter supporting Thomas Ogan's bid to get Bounty Land. ^[10]

Pension Application of Rifleman George Key

After an illness, when fit for duty, George Key (Amherst Rifles, Amherst County, Virginia), was attached to Morgan's Rifle Regt. & marched beyond Albany to oppose Burgoyne's Army at Stillwater.

Here a party of Morgan's troops were scouting & were attacked by enemy. The British killed one man at the first fire, and the party retreated. Morgan rallied his men & was joined by Gen. Gates. An attack was brought on between the two armies about 10 0'clock & the action ended when night parted them.

The British kept their ground & we retired to our old encampment, about two miles off. Here we lay for some days and Morgan's men went out of the encampment in the afternoon & were met by the British. A fight issued between the armies & we beat the enemy back to their temporary encampment or fort.

The British spiked a part of their cannons, threw some into the river & endeavored to retreat to Saratoga, to cross the river by night, but when they reached the river they found a part of our army on the other bank ready to oppose their crossing. After a slight skirmish, the British finding themselves enclosed, surrendered. We (George Key) then returned to Penn. two miles above Philadelphia.^[11]

• CSS Morgan was a partially armored gunboat of the Confederate States Navy in the American Civil War. To defend this area, the Confederates placed 18 of the fort's heaviest guns (including two 7-inch Brooke rifles and two British-made 8-inch Blakely rifles), so that they could bear on the Channel. They also built redoubts and trenches east of the fort to impede further any attack via land. Lastly, they complemented the land defenses with a small flotilla consisting of the ram Tennessee, and three gunboats, Morgan, Gaines and Selma, all under the command of Admiral Franklin Buchanan.^[18][19]

More Notes

• Daniel Morgan.

Perhaps Morgan’s most memorable moment came on January 17, 1781. It was at the Cow Pens, a well-known pasturing area for cattle in the upcountry of South Carolina, that Morgan with his experienced, but untrained, militia and 300 Continentals defeated the better-trained British army under Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton. Morgan knew his men and his opponent, knew how they would react in certain situations, and used this knowledge and the terrain to his advantage. The Americans camped on the battlefield the night before the battle. Morgan went amongst the men: encouraging them, telling them what he expected of them, and showing them his back, complete with the scars from his flogging. [3]

• The descendants of Samuel Morgan originate in larger Gloucester County which over the years

shrank to what it is today. The descriptions by early historians what the first settlers found here are magnificent and startling. From Raccoon Creek to "Makles" Creek, now known as Mantua Creek-- which is the land in this precise area--we are told that tobacco grew luxuriously. There were great quantities of walnuts, chestnuts, peaches, cypresses, mulberries, fish trees, and many other rare trees. John Fenwick left England in 1675 before the division of East and West Jersey occurred, sailing on the ship Griffith with a group of Quakers who settled at Salem Co. . William Penn did not leave England until seven years later. susan taylor aldridge weimarische str. 12 10715 berlin, germany. [4]

George Boone was a weaver by trade and a Quaker by religion. He was born in 1665 in the hamlet of Stoak near Exeter in Devonshire, England. In his time the Quakers were oppressed and George Boone therefore sought information of William Penn, his co-religionist, regarding the colony which Penn had established in America. In 1712 he sent his three children, George, Sarah, and Squire to spy out the land. Sarah and Squire remained in Pennsylvania, while their brother George returned to England with glowing reports. On August 17, 1717, George Boone went first to Abingdon, the Quaker farming community. Later they moved to the northwestern frontier hamlet of North Wales, a Welch community which a few years previously had turned Quaker.

In "Life of Gen. Daniel Morgan of the Virginia line" by James Graham we find, "It is interesting to know that these two famous fighters of the Revolutionary period, Daniel Morgan and Daniel Boone were first cousins, but we have found no adequate proof of this connection."

Daniel Morgan. A. b 1736 New Hampton, Lebanon Township, New Jersey.d. July 6, 1802, Winchester, Va. David Morgan born ca 1730 (Gen. Daniel Morgan visited him after the War in Northern NJ Many Indian paths, some important, and some minor, crisscrossed the county. One of the more important was the Raritan path which followed up the Raritan to Racahovawalaby (Bound Brook), thence to Tuccaramahacking at the forks of the Raritan, thence to Whitehouse, Potterstown, Lebanon, Annandale, to Minsolackaway near High Bridge, thence through the pass by Glen Gardner to the village of Pelouese at Hampton. This path led ultimately to the forks of the Delaware at Easton. In The First 275 Years of Hunterdon County 1714- 1989 Bernard F. Ramsburg said: "Hunterdon County not only had iron ore, but also had timber to make charcoal for smelting and limestone to use as a flux. The first ironworks, a bloomery, (small ironwork) was established near High Bridge in the early 18th century. An iron furnace was built in 1742 on Spruce Run, where the waterpower was used to run a slitting and rolling mill. A furnace was built near Cokesbury in 1752 and another was built in Norton. These were owned by Allen and Turner, who had extensive land holdings in the northern part of the county. They lost their iron works during the Revolution. The Union Furnace, as the Spruce Run furnace was called locally, was acquired by the superintendent, Robert Taylor. His family was connected with the iron and steel industry in that area until recent times. Iron was also made in Kingwood Township and near Pittstown. During the Revolution, Union Furnace made cannon balls for the American Army. It was operated until the early 1780’s. There developed a scarcity of wood for charcoal, which was probably the main reason for the closing of the furnace at that time." http://edward-morgan.blogspot.com/
