HENRY A. MORGAN was born December 10, 1807, in Guilford County, N. C.,
where he grew up, and at the age of twenty years he removed to Charlotte
County, Va., thence to Campbell County, and in 1833 to Monroe County,
Ky. In 1865 he came to Metcalfe County, where he now resides.  His
father, Benjamin Morgan, was a native of Maryland and a soldier in the
Revolutionary war; he was a son of Habakuk Morgan, who was of Scottish
descent. Benjamin Morgan married in Maryland about 1798, Mary, daughter
of Boz and Rachel Adams. From this union sprang James, Mahala
(deceased), Mary (Hester), Charlotte (Edgins), Enoch, Ruth (deceased),
and Henry A. Henry A. Morgan was married April 11, 1832, to Eliza,
daughter of Hobson and Elizabeth (Staples) Hood. To them have been born
Thomas B., Elizabeth (Wade), Nathaniel, Ellen (McGuire), David, James,
Katherine, Samuel and William. Mr. Morgan's early advantages for
obtaining an education were very poor; the Sabbath-school affording him
his best opportunities.  He has, however, a fair English education and
is a man well versed in current topics of the times.  He is the owner of
twenty-two acres of good land.  He was for some time jailer and also
deputy sheriff of Monroe County; and has been, for thirteen years, a
magistrate and a member of the court of claims in Metcalfe County.  He
is a self-made man, a member of the Methodist Church and in politics is
a Republican.
