General Notes: Husband - John Morgan


He was reared in Richland township, Clarion County, PA, and was educated in the schools of Foxburg. At the age of twenty-five he became interested in the oil business in Armstrong County, and was thereafter identified with that industry. For a time he carried on operations in Red Valley, Venango County, PA, but after taking up his residence in St. Peters­burg, in 1877, he was principally employed in Richland township, Clarion County. About 1889, as a member of the firm of Fox & Morgan, he began operations in the Richey Run oil fields, and put down wells in the following order: on the Long and Wheeler tract, on the Kaufman property, the William Agnew, the Clark Agnew, and the William Jones farms, the Sherman prop­erty, the Master property, and the Clinton Ag­new place.
