RESEARCHER: Information provided to T.Mason on 24 Mar 2002 by Jaime Howley [jhowley@twcny.rr.com]. "Both Elnathan and James died from cholera in August 1834. As you may know, James was the first ordained minister west of the Alleghenies and he founded Lane Seminary (Walnut Oaks, Cincinnati, OH) and hired Lyman Beecher (father of Harriet Stowe Beecher, Henry Ward Beecher and Catherine Beecher) to be president. Elnathan gave the land and the family also gave money. In 1834 at the time of their death, Lane was undergoing a crisis. Again you may know the story. The trustees were upset by the abolitionist activities of the students, Beecher although an abolitionist himself did not speak out in support of the students and the majority of the students left and went to Oberlin College. In the 1830's and 1840's there were 4 law suits brought by your ancestor, David Rice Kemper against Lyman Beecher and Calvin Stowe and several others and the trustees of Lane Seminary. I was wondering if you had any information as to what the law suits were about. The information I have found was on a web site about Lane Seminary's library now part of another seminary in Chicago, but it does not say what they were about.. Lane has been defunct a good many years. I understand the site was in downtown. The cabin of James and Judith Kemper is on display at a museum. It was at the zoo before that from sometime in the early 1900's."
This was their 11th child.

Anthony Morgan of Old Rappahanock Co., VA by M. W. Hiden.
Also see VA Genealogies of VA Families from Tyler's Quarterly, Vol. II, p 708.Anthony appears in County in 1665, serves an apprenticeship, has children listed in North Farnham Parish register. It is suggested he came from Bristol, England. IGI records suggest an Anthony & Charles Morgan, from Wales, who were relatives of Phillip Morgan of Glamorgan, Wales. Charles may have been the father of Anthony.
Research notes of Barron Flanary, Terrence Mason, Paul Sarrett, Jr., N. Dale Morgan.The origin of Anthony Morgan is unknown at this time. It in unknown if he is the immigrant from England, Wales or Scotland. It has been suggested that he may have been a son of a Scottish coal miner sent to the colonies after his father was involved in the Bonnie Prince Charles and Jacobites Rebellion that occurred in 1745 in Scotland and Wales, suppressed by King George II of Great Britain. Then on the other hand, he might have been part of the Scotch-Irish movement which came into Maryland, Pennsylvania, and upper Virginia, and then migrated south to the Carolinas in search of land following the French and Indian War of 1755.
