    ... Was Major-General Daniel Morgan of the American Army of this line? [i.e. Daniel Morgan (son of Nathan)] His descendant, Captain Daniel Morgan Taylor, Ordinance Department, U.S.A., writes that Gen. Morgan observed, to his death, the strictest reticence as to his own family. But he (Gen. Morgan) admitted that he was born in New Jersey in 1736, and it does not seem improbable that he was of this branch which settled in that State, which was descended from Charles of Newport. ... The histories of Gen. Morgan assert that he was born in Hunterdon County, New Jersey in 1736. He removed to Virginia, and in 1755 joined Braddock's expedition as a wagoner, and received 500 lashes in 1756 for an alleged insult to a British officer. ... [add more]

    Daniel Morgan (1735/1736 – July 6, 1802) was an American pioneer, soldier, and politician from Virginia. One of the most respected battlefield tacticians of the American Revolutionary War of 1775–1783, he later commanded troops during the suppression of the Whiskey Rebellion of 1791–1794.

    Born in New Jersey to Welsh immigrants, Morgan settled in Winchester, Virginia. He became an officer of the Virginia militia and recruited a company of riflemen at the start of the Revolutionary War. Early in the war, Morgan served in Benedict Arnold's expedition to Quebec and in the Saratoga campaign. He also served in the Philadelphia campaign before resigning from the army in 1779.

    Morgan returned to the army after the Battle of Camden, and led the Continental Army to victory in the Battle of Cowpens. After the war, Morgan retired from the army again and developed a large estate. He was recalled to duty in 1794 to help suppress the Whiskey Rebellion, and commanded a portion of the army that remained in Western Pennsylvania after the rebellion. A member of the Federalist Party, Morgan twice ran for the United States House of Representatives, winning election to the House in 1796. He retired from Congress in 1799 and died in 1802.
