Came with son John to Sumner County. "Capt. Morgan's father, Squire John Morgan, came with him and was killed by an Indian warrior under the hill. The Indian rushed upon him and sank his tommy-hawk deeply into his brain, where it was left, being too tightly wedged into the skull to be withdrawn."

He sold his possessions in North Carolina in 1779, and started for Kentucky. He came on to New River, in Virginia, and purchased a tract of land and remained there to 1785. He did this in consequence of the times being so perilous and troublesome that he could not then get through the wilderness with his family. He sold his plantation there in the fall of 1785 and moved to Sumner County, which was made a county that year, arriving here on the 20th of November, 1785.

He settled near Bledsoe's Lick, Sumner county, Tennessee.

(written by son, Gov. William Hall)
02 Aug 1787 Bledsoe's Lick, Sumner County, Tennessee
My mother was mounted upon a large, powerful horse, and he, scared quite ungovernable, dashed right along the entire line of the Indians, whilst she holding the mane was carried about a mile distant to the fort.

After my [William Hall] father was killed my mother concluded to move to Greenfield Fort, her two sons-in-laws living there, and so I moved her there soon after, where we remained until the December following.
