[ Transcript of complete article ]
... In 1750 in Bedford County, Va., Lewis married a daughter of Dr. Robert White and his wife, Margaret Hoge. Her name has been given as both ELIZABETH WHITE and CHRISTINA WHITE.[1,2,3] An account of the White family mentions three daughters, but names only one, "...Barbara who married Isaac Julian, and her two sisters who both married men by the name of Morgan."[3] (More than one hundred years later, in INDIANA, the Julians of Indianapolis were called "distant relatives" of Lewis Morgan's Indiana descendants.[4]) The account continues, illustrating the perils of living on the frontier: "Each of these Morgan sisters [nee' White] had children taken captive by the Indians. A daughter of one of them was released after a number of years but a son, Amaziah Morgan [born 1753], taken at about four years of age, was adopted into an Indian family and would not leave them, After he had grown to manhood he was taken in battle fighting against the whites and solicited to remain with his kindred; but he was beguiled by his Indian wife into a canoe and made his escape down the Ohio River."[3]
This same story was reported independently, as family tradition among the Ohio Morgans, "Amaziah [son of Lewis Morgan ] was captured by the Indians at the age of five and brought to the Paint Creek area of Ross County, Ohio. His father heard where he was but was never able to get him back, Amaziah had three daughters. He was made a chief. Later he was killed fighting with the Indians at St. Clair's defeat when he was 32 years of age."[1] ...

Morgan Green of Goodland, Ind., John M. Latta and Dr. J.B.F. Morgan of Ohio. Nieces were Mrs. G. Overstreet of Franklin, Ind.; Mrs. T.R.

Listed as more distant relatives were the Hon. George W. Julian of Irvington and Judge Jacob Julian of Indianapolis, recalling the story that Amaziah Morgan's grandmother was a sister of Barbara White who married Isaac Julian about 1750 in Virginia.
