  • "Old Wagoner" By
    The "Old Wagoner" By: Padraic Garrett Hennessey Spirit of St. Louis Chapter of the Missouri Society Born in 1736 in Hunterdon County, NJ, Daniel Morgan suffered an unpleasant childhood and left home at seventeen for Winchester, VA. Illiterate and often drunk, Morgan gambled and fought. Morgan eventually became a wagoner transporting goods between the frontier and the market. Morgan's experiences, knowledge of the land and logistics earned him the nickname "Old Wagoner." When the French and Indian War began, Morgan's wagons transported supplies up and down the frontier battle lines. On one occasion, he aggravated a British officer, who hit Morgan with the flat of his sword. Morgan retaliated, knocking out the officer with one swipe of his fist. The British sentenced Morgan to receive 500 lashes, but the person whipping him miscounted and Morgan only received 499 lashes. Morgan endured the lashing, though with pieces of flesh hanging in strips from his back. Later, Morgan said he "owed good old King George one more." The officer who initiated the fight realized he was wrong, and he made a public apology. Morgan forgave him, but not Britain as he suffered from sciatica for the remainder of his life. Later in the war, a bullet passed through the back of Morgan's neck, knocking out all of the teeth on the left side of his jaw, and exiting his cheek. Miraculously, the bullet did not injure his jaw. It was the only wound Morgan would ever suffer in military service. After the war, Morgan retired and married. When the Revolution started, Morgan joined the army as captain of a rifle company, "Morgan's Riflemen." The technology of their rifles, which were more accurate and lighter than muskets, set Morgan's men apart.

    John Cannan “The Lady Killer” Information researched and summarized by Erin Waddell, Breeanne Berlin, & Ryan Mank Department of Psychology Radford University Radford, VA 24142-6946 Date Age Life Event 02/24/1954 0 Born in Warwickshire (Sutton Coldfield) in England Parents sent him to a private school for boys. He had a teacher that always ate 1958 4 biscuits during break time. Cannan bragged later in life about how he used his charm to persuade her to allow him to have biscuits as well. A teacher took him into a vacant classroom and instructed him to drop his trousers. The teacher touched him between the legs and wanted John to touch him as well; he 1961/1962 7/8 did it in fear of the teacher. He claims to have felt ashamed from it and that it went on for months because he couldn’t tell anyone about it. He became afraid of school after this and developed a stammer from being nervous all the time at school. He was taken to the family doctor because of this nervousness and then did not return to the school. He used the experience at school to explain why he was 1963 9 “different” from others and why he didn’t have any close friends; claimed he always had to deal with humiliation and shame which led him to express anger and resentment. He gained 5 certificates of secondary education and 3 ordinary level general certificates of education; because of his athletic ability he was offered the chance to 1971 17 train with the Birch Harriers which was a leading athletic club but his father was against the idea.

  • Capt. Daniel Morgan's Company on the Expedition To
    CAPT. DANIEL MORGAN’S COMPANY ON THE EXPEDITION TO QUEBEC IN 1775: AN UPDATED LIST By Stephen Darley Brigadier General Daniel Morgan is one of the better known veterans of Colonel Benedict Arnold’s march to Quebec. There have been three excellent biographies written about Morgan that provide the details of his life and career.1 His victory at the Battle of Cowpens in 1781 clinched his reputation as an effective Revolutionary War fighting general. He first became known to the public in the colonies as a result of his leadership of one of the three rifle companies in the 1775 expedition through the Maine wilderness to take Quebec. Morgan and most of his men were captured by the British in the failed assault on Quebec on December 31, 1775 and Morgan himself was released on parole with the rest of the captured officers in the fall of 1776. He was released from his parole through an exchange in 1777 and rejoined the American army to participate with Arnold in the Battle of Saratoga. There have been three previous attempts to list the men who were in Captain Daniel Morgan’s Company on that march.2 However, none of these previous listings has presented a complete roster of the men in Morgan’s Company. The roster shown below, consisting of 83 officers and men, is taken from this author’s recent book, Voices from a Wilderness Expedition: The Journals and Men of Benedict Arnold’s Expedition to Quebec in 1775. 3 That book provides a list of the sources that were used to establish the identity of each name on the list.

  • General Daniel Morgan - Sharpshooter
    General Daniel Morgan - Sharpshooter In 1753 Winchester, Virginia, was a wild village of sixty homes, with one tavern and one Anglican church. A newcomer named Daniel Morgan, age 18, arrived that year to claim some inexpensive farm land, to operate a sawmill and drive a wagon. Daniel was of Welsh descent, the son of a New Jersey farm laborer whom he did not want to identify as his father because of their constant arguments and ongoing estrangement. In 1754, 250 years ago, Virginia Governor Dinwiddie faced the beginning of the French and Indian War. Military supplies had to be transported as part of Gen. Braddock's attack against Ft. Duquesne. Daniel was hired to haul supplies between Winchester, Fort Cumberland and the District of West Augusta (today's southwestern Pennsylvania). Daniel saw young George Washington in his first military action. After Braddock's defeat, wagons were needed to transport the wounded to safety. Daniel joined the Virginia Rangers in 1756, and in an Indian ambush, a musket ball was shot through his mouth. After Gen. Forbes's victory at Ft. Duquesne in 1758, Daniel returned to hauling produce and hardware in and out of Winchester. He fell in love with Abigail Curry, and they had two daughters, Nancy and Betsy. In 1775 Congress voted to raise ten companies of frontier sharpshooters. Daniel was made captain of one Virginia company. He served with Benedict Arnold in New York and New Jersey battles. The great American victory over Gen. Burgoyne at Saratoga, in 1777, opened the way for the French to enter as allies in the American Revolution.

THE word MoR-GAN is a Cymric derivative, meaning one born by the sea, or, a son of the sea (mui"r, sea; gin, begotten). It is not infrequently found written MARGAN, or l\'.loRECAN, and its antiquity in any of these forms-even in the fourth century, when the heresiarch Pelagius, a Celtic monk named Thomas 1\Iorgan, rendered his name into Greek (llc'lt.ayor;, c.uzo~)-was, as we would say now, pre-historic. The date of Pelagius precedes by a long interval the next reference to the name,-a shadowy one, yet not to be omitted from the record, -as follows : King Arthur-a legendary king of Britain, but not improbably the adumbration of a real local ''king,,. or chieftain therein-is said, after a defeat in some one of his battles with another local potentate, to have removed his queen for safety to the coast of what is now Glamorgan­ shire; and her child, Arthur's younger son, there born, was named Mor-gan-the man born by the sea; whence GLA­ MORGAN-the country of the man born by the sea.
