JOCK MORGAN. The subject of this biography is one of the earliest pioneers of the Northwest, and his father was a pioneer of Kentucky and Missouri. For nearly a century these two generations alone have helped to redeem the wilderness of America and there plant American civilization and before them were many other Morgans engaged in the same noble work. Jock Morgan was born in Burlington, Iowa, 1844, to Richard and Martha (Morgan) Morgan. His father was a native of Kentucky, who immigrated to Iowa in the early forties and there lived until 1850, when he set out with his family to build a new home in the far Northwest. The mother was a daughter of Jonathan Morgan, of Iowa, a widely known cattle and land dealer in his day. During the tedious journey across the Plains and mountain ranges Richard Morgan died. The mother bravely persevered and struggled onward with her family, finally arriving, after a seven months' journey, at Albany, Oregon, where she settled upon a donation claim, and lived until her death.
