Revolutionary War Soldier and Spy
Revolutionary War muster and pay rolls show that from 1777 to 1783, a Private Charles Morgan served in Captain Gifford's Third New Jersey Regiment; Captain Andersons' Company, First New Jersey Regiment; and Captain Forman's/Howell's/Mitchell's Company. While there is yet no evidence to prove that he played a role in the capture of Major Andre as his tombstone claims, there was a Private Charles Morgan from Barber's New Jersey Light Battalion who served as a spy for General Lafayette.
For information about Charles Morgan, see Historian Dorothy Heller's article "The Mystery of Charles Morgan Continues" on the Town of Clay website (www.townofclay.org).
Charles Morgan was originally buried on the Moyer Farm along with about 20 other Revolutionary War veterans. It's not certain that his grave was moved to Morgan Cemetery close by that of his wife Rachel.
"TO MARK THE GRAVE OF CHARLES MORGAN.
The Onondaga Historical Society is to place a suitable marker about the grave of Charles Morgan, a revolutionary soldier, discovered Thursday on the Moyer farm near Liverpool.
