She married Valentine Morgan on January 20, 1842, in his parents home, Vigo County, Indiana.
Mother of 10 children: Jehiel Fish, Cassius Homer, Lucretia Crawford, Laura Iola, Chartley Boyd, Talmai Rowan, Dick Thompson, Harry Lutz, Freemont Ross and Flora Belle Morgan.
Mrs. Frances A. Morgan On the 13th of November our dear mother, Mrs. Frances A. Morgan, was called to her heavenly reward. She died at Pulaski, Tenn., where she had gone to spend the winter with my sister, Mrs. J. H. Morris. She was buried at Prairie Creek, Vigo County, Ind., November 16, 1913, in the cemetery near the old farm homestead, where she and lived since about the time of her marriage to Valentine Morgan 72 years ago. Father died in 1880, and mother lived a widow 33 years. She was born in the south part of Vigo County, Ind., March 15, 1822, when James Monroe was president, and nearly 92 years of her life covers three fourths the history of the federal government. Mother's maiden name was Frances A. Thompson. She was related to Honorable James B. Ray, who was governor of Indiana from 1825 to 1831. At her death, mother left a family of 64, consisting of eight children, 20 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren and three great great grandchildren. A short time ago a five generation picture was taken--something quite unusual. Her children now living (two are deceased) named in the order of their ages are as follows: Cassius H. Morgan, Prairieton, Ind., Mrs. Lucretia C. Morris,Pulaski, Tennessee; Mrs. Laura I. McDonald, Prairie Creek Ind.,; Chartley B.Morgan, Manituo, Okla.; Dick T. Morgan, Woodward, Okla.; Harry L. Morgan, North Terre Haute, Ind.; Fred T. Morgan, Gutherie, Okla.,; and Mrs. John D. Faqua,Sanford, Ind. The oldest is 67 years old and the youngest is 48. Preceding the interment, services were held at the Christian Church inMiddleton (Prairie Creek, P. O.) Mother and father were charter members of this church, and it was here that most of her children early in life obeyed the gospel. In this church forty four years ago I made the good confession and was baptized in Prairie Creek, which runs near by the cemetery where mother was laid to rest. Called to her eternal reward at the age of ninety two, she had been a Christian seventy two years. She was staunch believer in the plea and principles of the Disciples of Christ. She derived much pleasure from reading the Christian Evangelist and other publications of our brotherhood. It is not my purpose to attempt in word or phrase to pay any adequate tribute to mother, but, as my eldest brother, C. H. Morgan, said in a meeting of the family, "We had a good father and the best mother that ever lived." She was woman of high ideals and did all in her power to have her children go out into the world imbued with the highest standards of manhood, womanhood and citizenship. I have had numerous persons say to me; "Your mother was a remarkable woman." When on my way from Oklahoma to take my seat as a Representative in Congress, I stopped in Indiana to visit mother. As I owed much to her for whatever I had accomplished in life that was worth while, my political success deepened my love and affection for her, increased my admiration for her noble character, and enabled me to appreciate more keenly the debt of gratitude. I owed to her. ---Dick Morgan The Christian Evangelist P 158, 1914 Located by Dennis Nicklaus, typed by Lyman Morrison 1995
