HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

“Morgansville” was here during the Revolutionary War and in the raid in which 
they captured Peter Francisco.

The graveyard is so grown up that only a few markers are standing.  However, I 
did find one standing with the following inscription:


Sacred to the memory of
Elizabeth D. Morgan
Consort of Samuel W. Morgan
and daughter of William and Martha Eivers
She was born March 2, 1816
Married March 13, 1832
And died August 9, 1833

I did root down in the honeysuckle and other growth and find a marker that was 
lying on the ground with the following inscription:


Sacred to the memory of
Samuel Morgan
Who was born January 15, 1770
and died January 11, 1834
