PHILANDER
MORGAN, son
of Reese MORGAN and Rebecca A. REEDER
was born
11 Oct
1835 in La Salle County, Illinois. He lived on a farm north of
Streator,
Illinois, with his parents. The Morgan
family
was founded in America in 1624 by
three brothers,
natives
of Wales, who first settled in Virginia. Later one went to
the
Carolinas and another to Kentucky. The great-great-grandfather
of
Philander remained in Virginia and founded
the village
of Morgantown. He was a soldier of the Revolutionary
war.
Philander's grandfather, William Morgan,
located in
Pennsylvania
for a time and finally settled in Illinois, north
of Streator.
His father, Reese Morgan fought in the Black hawk war.
Philander
obtained
his education in the schools of the day. When he was
sixteen
he went with his father to California to prospect for gold.
They
returned in 1855. In 1860 he moved to Livingston County,
Illinois,
where his father had a farm of eight hundred acres
in
what is now Fayette Township. He assisted his
father
in farming the land and continued on
the property
after
his parents deaths. He also owned some property
in Gibson,
Illinois, and owned a large amount of
farm land in Iowa.
He served as
Supervisor of
Fayette township for one term, was assessor eighteen years
and was highway commissioner for the same period.
He
laid out all the roads in the township and gave it the name of
Fayette.
His sister Mary was the first to be married
in
the new township. Mr. Morgan saw almost the entire
development
of the region. He was a member of the village
board
for many years and president of same for ten years. He never
married. [The
