William F. Morgan

Born July 31, 1804, in Pulaski County, Kentucky. He moved to Indiana with his parents in 1818. In Indiana, William and his wife and several other members of her Boggs family established a Presbyterian church at Sugar Creek, Shelby County on 15 July 1831. He came to Iowa in 1849. His 120 acre farm was near Martinsburg in Keokuk Co. He was elected to the Iowa Legislature in 1854 as a member of the Whig party and voted to move the state capitol from Iowa City to Des Moines. He served one term and refused a second nomination. He was twice elected to the board of supervisors and was justice of the peace for about 15 years in Iowa and had been a J.P. in Indiana also. He was a member of the New School Presbyterian Church, and after it closed, he joined the M. E. Church at Mt. Zion in 1878.
