Note of Caution

There is something amiss here...

  • Morgan (1902)2 claims that Samuel's wife was "Matilda Grant Rose McIntosh" - no further info.
  • Johnson (1912) 1 claims that Samuel's wife was named "Matilda Rose Grant" and names her father as Dr. George Grant - no further info.
  • Wikipedia's family information for Samuel cites a dead link to a genealogy page.

At this time, I'm not sure what is correct. Perhaps Matilda was married before? More research is needed. --Cos1776 17:09, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

    ... Samuel Dodd [sic] Morgan, in early manhood, went to Boston with a cargo of his father's cotton. Returning to New Orleans by way of Virginia, he there married the sweetheart of his youth, and took her to the home of his parents. He afterwards removed to Nashville, Tennessee, where he amassed a fortune as a merchant. He became prominent in politics, and was recognized as Nashville's foremost citizen. His remains now repose within the walls of the State House, and one of the principal parks of the city was named in his honor. The maiden name of his wife was Matilda Rose Grant. She was born in Albemarle county, Virginia, where her father, George Grant, who married the daughter of a wealthy planter, settled on resigning his position as a surgeon in the British Navy. ...
