Made in the State of Tennessee, Blount County: Declaration of Colonel Morgan on the day ? of February 1834.

Personally appeared before me as one of the judges of the Circuit Court of Law and Equity in and for the State of Tennessee now sitting Col. Gedion Morgan resident of the County of Monroe and State of Tennessee aged 55 years who after being duly sworn according to law do on his oath make the following declarations:

He enrolled himself as a volunteer under the command of Col. John Williams and met at Knoxville, Tennessee early in December 1812. That at ? Col. Tho. L. Smith (or Smith of Missouri) then commanding a detachment of the U.S. troops at Florida was represent as being a critical situation being much harassed by the Spaniards and "Seminole Indians." Under these circumstances Col. Williams hastily collected a mounted force of 240 or 250 and immediately marched to his relief passing through a part of North Carolina and Georgia to Camp Pinkney on the St. Mary's River and forthwith crossed into East Florida where they halted for rest and organization having no other officer at the time than Col. Williams. He (Col. Moran) fell into Captain William Walkers Company after acting and receiving supply we marched for the "Lackaway Towns" in the heart of the Peninsula passing Gen. Munens breast works and battle ground and was joined by Col. Smith with 250 riflemen, 12 or 15 miles north of Paynestown, which we reached without interruption after ? and taking a few prisoners we march for Bowlegs Town and on our way there we were attacked by an ambush of Indians and in the engagement which followed he (Col Moran) received a wound in his right shoulder. The Indians retreated. We were discharged.

Shortly after our return home Fort Mims and its garrison fell to savage treachery and Barbarity. He (Col. Morgan) was then in the Mississippi Territory. He returned home and found the country highly excited. His brother Rufus had marched at the head of a Volunteer Company from Knoxville and he made immediate preparation to follow him. His brother Calvin was then at the north p ? a stock of merchandise as they were then jointly converned in extensive merchantile transactions under the firm of C.G. and R. Morgan. Under these circumstances casting their business entirley to the care of clerks.

He (Col Morgan) again volunteered and was appointed Adjutant to Col. Weirs Regiment when they marched to the Hiwassee Garrison on the Tennessee River.

Soon after he set out in a very inclement season to fill an order of procurement (Supplies?) which he did to the extent of his abilities. On his return to Fort Armstrong he found General Cock had marched to join Jackson at Fort Strother. New Levies were to be made.

Colonel Morgan discharged the Indians for the present and returned to Knoxville where he found the contractors McGhee and Henderson who urged C. G. & R. Morgan to accept an interest in their contract. We had faith in our country and ten thousand dollars was handed them. The sum enabled them to continue supplied and soon after Col. Morgan was furnished with funds whith which he liquidated the debts he had contracted with the "Cherokees".

General Cock ordered Col. Morgan immediately (He being then in Knoxville) to proceed and defend Fort Armstrong against a meditated attack of the enemy on his reaching the neighborhood the Cherokee force was collected and in obedience to riders from General Jackson he joined him at Fort Strother. When he Col. Morgan moved his principal force to Fort Williams and there to the "Horseshoe" (The Battle of Horseshoe Bend) where on the 27th of March 1814 he received a severe wound in the head immediately above the right eye which struck him to the gound. Insensible for some time. At his partial recovery he found his right arm and leg paralyzed so much so that he could not feel his sword in his hand or his tread on the ground. Since which time his arms has become weaker. His sight in his right eye is entirely gone.

The reason Co. Morgan made this application in Blount County instead of Monroe is that Doctor A. Mc Ghee who was the surgeon of the 39th regiment of the United States Infantry and who first dressed his wound at the battle of Horseshoe lives in Blount County and within a few miles of Maryville.

Col. Morgan is is personally known to General Jackson whom he doubts not will if necessary corroborate the statements in his declaration.

A note was attached to the pension application of Gedion Morgan who served in the War of 1812 (Creek War) in command of the Cherokee.

At the battle of Tohopika? or Horse Shoe (Bend) in the Creek war Col. Gideon Morgan led the Cherokees from Genl. Coffees command crossing the river with Major Russels: force, and in the Conflict withing the Indian Camp was wounded with several others. By reference of the official reports on file. I suppose in the War Office these facts will be retained. W. Lee, Congress Hall.
Signed: Andrew Jackson (personally)

From A. Mc Ghee & Saml Pride, doctors. In the case of Col. Gideon Morgan who is about to apply for a pension. We find he has on the right side of his head a depression of considerable depth of a wound received in the battle of Houseshoe in 1814. Doctor A. Mc Ghee further adds that Col. Morgan being Commander of the Cherokees was at the head of that gallant band who having procured the enemy's canoes by swimming across the river landed thmselves in the jucture where the Fort was charged in front by which no dobt many valuable lives were saved .
Signed: A. McGhee.
