     SAMUEL P. MORGAN is one of the prominent farmers near Mayfield
and has been engaged in that pursuit in Graves county for a number
of years.  He began life as a poor man, and has made his present
prosperity by his good management and constant industry.  At the
same time he has gained the respect and esteem of his fellow-citizens,
who feel entire confidence in his integrity and his worth
in the home and in business dealings.
     Mr. Morgan has little authentic knowledge of his ancestry
except that an uncle of his grandfather was a soldier in the
Revolution. His parents were Hugh and Judith (Baker) Morgan, who
were both born in Virginia.  The former was a farmer in his native
state until about 1856, when he moved to Christian county, Kentucky,
where he lived for a number of years, and about 1867 came to Graves
county, where he made his home till his death.  He affiliated with
the Democratic party, and was a member of the Methodist church.  His
death occurred in 1889, when he was seventy-eight years of age.  His
first wife died in Virginia in 1852, having been the mother of the
following children: Robert A., deceased; Mary A., deceased;
Lucretia; William J., deceased; and Samuel P.  His second wife was
Mrs. Mary Baker, nee Hill, whose death occurred before his, and who
bore him the following children: One that died in infancy; Judith
A., deceased; John H.; Hugh R.; and Sallie, deceased.
     Samuel P. Morgan was born in Halifax county, Virginia,
September 8, 1849, and at the age of seven came to Christian county,
Kentucky, where he was reared and received his education in the
common schools.  He began his career as a farmer in Graves county,
and now has one hundred and sixty acres in the vicinity of Mayfield. 
His politics are Democratic, and he and his wife are consistent
members of the Christian church.
     Mr. Morgan married, in 1879, Miss Bettie Bennett, who was born
in Trigg county, Kentucky, a daughter of Eriah and Lucy Ann (Mills)
Bennett, who moved to Graves county when Mrs. Morgan was a child,
and she gained her education in the public schools of this county,
and still resides within a mile of her old home.  The following
children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Morgan: Judith M., Ira E.,
Annie M., Cleveland M., Hugh W. and Robert H.  The entire family are
held in high esteem throughout their home community and are popular
in social circles.
