• Notes

  U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900 Name: Achilles Morgan Gender: male Birth Year: 1772 Spouse Name: Susannah Scott In 1773, when he was 27 years old, Achilles's grandfather moved to the Monongahela Valley. Morgan Mod made the trek with his wife, Drusilla Prickett, and his young son Achilles. Not a great deal is known about Mod Morgan. His will lists thirteen children; but, his daughter Elizabeth said that there was a daughter named Cynthia, bringing it up to fourteen. Mod Morgan died at age 83. At the time of his death, he was living on White Day creek, near Catawaba, WV. Achilles Morgan, son of Morgan "Mod" Morgan, married Susannah Scott: they had eleven children. Around 1821, Achilles left his home in what is now West Virginia and moved to what became Vermillion County, Illinois. He was a community leader; one historian wrote that Achilles was one of the leading citizens of Vermillion County. Achilles served on Vermillion County's first Board of County Commissioners. He was a captain in the Vermillion County Rangers: that unit defended against Indian attacks. Achilles Morgan died in Vermillion County.
