General Notes: Husband - Col. George Morgan

---

of Princeton, NJ

He was Indian agent at Pittsburgh at the beginning of the Revolutionary war and the builder of the first shingle-roof house in that city. He later removed to what became Morganza, Washington County, where he spent the remaining days of his life. It was at the old homestead at Morganza that Aaron Burr called to visit him in 1803 or 1804, Burr being an old acquaintance of the Morgans in Philadelphia and Princeton, and while on this visit disclosed enough of his scheme to convince Colonel Morgan that he was guilty of treason and contemplated serious harm to the government. Acting on this information, Colonel Morgan despatched his two sons to Washington, D. C., to inform President Jefferson of Burr's intentions, which was the first information the president had of this contemplated action.

He came with his family to Washington County, Pennsylvania, settling on land in North Strabane township, said land being a portion of what was known as the "Morganza tract."

He and his wife were both buried in the family ground at Morganza, and afterward removed to the cemetery at Washington, Pennsylvania.
