Down the lane, at 1182 Hornbeam Road, Sabina, is the 31st quilt block along the Clinton County Barn Quilt Trail. “College Hall” was first incorporated into a quilt made by Claire Quinlan of Sacramento, Calif. for the Stuckeys. Roy Joe and Ruth Stuckey chose to display this design as it represents Wilmington College, which has helped to educate 11 current or past landowners of the Morgan family farm. They are; Mary Brinkley Morgan, Beatrice Dalrymple Morgan, Elizabeth Morgan Stuckey, Roy Joe Stuckey, June Elizabeth Stuckey, Ruth Starbuck Stuckey, David Darby Morgan, Joseph David Stuckey, John L. Stuckey, Mary Stuckey Newswanger and Rebecca Stuckey Howarth.
William Morgan emigrated from Bristol, England in 1610 on “The Starr” and founded the Colony of Virginia. His great-grandson, Private Charles Morgan, was a member of George Washington’s survey team and was entrusted to manage much of Washington’s property which was spread over a vast area of the Ohio Valley. General Daniel Morgan was a close and successful associate of George Washington and won the first major victory during the Revolutionary War at Cowspen, S.C. For service in the Revolutionary War, Daniel was deeded 2,220 acres on Aug. 17, 1787. This land was located on the slopes of the glacial terminal Moraine between what is now Sabina and Reeseville.
On March 8, 1794, Daniel sold 1,400 acres to his son-in-law, Lt. Col. Presley Neville, who in turn sold this land to John Morgan on Feb. 18, 1817. John Morgan was the son of Charles Morgan. John’s son, James Morgan, homesteaded the land. His great-granddaughter, Elisabeth Morgan Stuckey, was the grandmother of the four present owners of the Morgan homestead.
The Morgan family has not been able to verify a tie between Daniel and Charles, and therefore claim unbroken family ownership back to only 1817.
