  • Notes 
    • In the 1850 Federal Census, Morgan appears to be age 25 and living with John Remington age 56 (widower of Lucy Burton) and Noah S. Remington age 22 at Easton, Washington Co., NY. Morgan's first wife Hannah, age 24, is also there.

      Morgan came to Mahaska County, Iowa, in 1855, and to Union County in 1863. In the 1860 Federal Census, Morgan & Matilda are living at Oskaloosa, Mahaska Co., Iowa. In 1870 & 1880 they are at Jones, Union Co., Iowa.

      His obituary says he left a "companion and six children." (Afton Enterprise, Iowa, 16 June 1892)

      "Afton (Iowa) Enterprise, June 16, 1892: On Saturday evening, June 4, 1892, at his home in Jones township [Union county], occurred the death of Morgan Remington, aged 66 years, 7 mos and 20 days. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. Reed, of Thayer, at the residence of the deceased on the following Monday after which the remains were laid in the Murray cemetery.

      "The deceased was born in Washington county, New York, Oct. 14, 1825; came to Mahaska county Iowa, in 1855 was married to Matilda Cooper, June 21, 1856. Moved to Union county Iowa, in 1863. He leaves a companion and six children to mourn his loss and it is the first death that ever occurred in his family."
