Biographical Information

Burton W. Nesbitt, volunteer Lorain County coordinator for the National Graves Registration Project of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, has no detailed information on him; and the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System database, <http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm>, lists 53 soldiers named "William H. Morgan." His age at the time of the 1850 census was 6 years. For information on the Morgans' significant contributions to Oberlin, see Robert Samuel Fletcher, A History of Oberlin College from Its Foundation through the Civil War (2 vols.; Oberlin, Ohio: Oberlin College, 1943).
