Historical Sketches of Kentucky by Lewis Collins, Maysville, KY. and J. A. & U. P. James, Cincinnati, 1847. Volume 1. Reprinted 1968. Fayette County. Artists of Kentucky, pages 621. LOUIS MORGAN, a native of Pittsburg, settled in Lexington in 1830, and remained for many years. He painted pictures which evinced a very high order of talent, and it was only the lack of energy that prevented him from becoming noted. His best effort is his well-known portrait of Simon Kenton from life. He was gifted with exquisite taste and remarkable feelings for color. He died about 1860. Dr. Robert Peter owns some of his pictures. Morgan Kenton Peter = PA http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/fayette/morgan.l.txt
