Notes for NANCY ANNE MORGAN:
1st child of Col. Zackquill Morgan, by his first wife, Nancy Paxton.
Sometimes referred to as Nancy and sometimes as Anne, or Ann.She had seven children by her first husband, John Pierpont, but the order of birth is not known since the birth of but two of them have been recorded.
Notes for JOHN PIERPONT:
NAME spelling: Pierpoint.
He was alive in May 16, 1796, but probably died a short time after this.
The Pierpont family settled in New England about the time Col. Morgan Morgan landed in Delaware.Judge Edward Pierpont, the statesman, John Pierpontthe New England Poet, and John Pierpont Morgan the financier, are all of the same family.Junius Spencer Morgan (14 April 1813 -- 3 April 1890), the father of John Pierpont Morgan, married 1836, Juliet Pierpont (30 July ? -- 23 February 1884), and hence the "Pierpont" in the Morgan name.RE: French Morgan, p. 229.
"John Pierpont came from New York via New Jersey, in 1769, and acquired land near now Easton (Morgantown area).Here was built the settlers' fort known as Pierpont's.John had three brothers who went early to Kentucky with Simon Kenton, some of the Clellands, Riah Ashcraft, and others.Kenton's father died during this journey and was buried a few miles below present Point Marion, Pennsylvania, USA.
John Pierpont married Nancy Mary Morgan, daughter of Col. Zackwell Morgan.They are reported to have had eight children, names of seven of whom follow: Larkin, Zackwell, Francis, John, Jr., Sarah Watson, Nancy Baker, and Temperance Dunn.
John Pierpont died soon after 1794.His son Francis married Catherine Weaver, and their third son was Francis H. Pierpont, Governor of reorganized Virginia, and first citizen of West Virginia."
RE: Now and Long Ago, Page 637.
Fort Pierpont -- "A small stockade fort built in 1769, by John Pierpont, Frederick Ice, and others.Roy Bird Cook says it was located about one mile form the village of Easton, and about four miles from Morgantown (Union District, Monongalia County).It was here that George Washington, in 1784, met with Zackwell Morgan and David Morgan, John Evans, Sr., Samuel Hanway, and others, to discuss the possible navigability of Cheat River.John Pierpont who managed the building of this fort was Zackwell Morgan's son-in-law, and Governor Francis H. Peirpont's grandfather. (See: "George Washington Diaries, 1748-1799, v.2, pp. 302-303-304-305. Houghton Mifflin Co., 1925.)
At this time (1784), Washington also discussed with Frederick Ice the possibility of making Cheat River a water-way from the Potomac to the Monongahela.To this writer it appears from Washington's diary that he learned more truth about the Cheat from Ice than he did from anyone else."

Notes for CATHERINE JENNNIE MORGAN:
3rd child of Col. Zackquill Morgan by his first wife, Nancy Paxton.
It is not known how many children she had, as she had offspring from both husbands, but the following were the children of Jacob Scott: Sarah; Joseph; Phebe; and Morgan.Order of birth is not known except the first two.
Notes for JACOB SCOTT:
Military Service:
Revolutionary War soldier.Withers in Chronicles of Border Warfare mentions him once, in connection with what he calls the murder of an Indian prior to 1774.He states that "Bald Eagle was an Indian of notoriety, not only among his own nation, but also with the inhabitants of the North Western frontier, with whom he was in the habit of associating and hunting during the time of peace.On one of his visits among them, he was discovered alone, by Jacob Scott, William Hacker and Elijah Runner, who reckless of the consequences, murdered him, solely to gratify a most wonton thirst for Indian blood.After the commission of this most outrageous enormity, they seated him in the stern of a canoe, and with a piece of journey-cake thrust into his mouth, set him afloat in the Monongahela.In this situation he was seen descending the river, by several, who supposed him to be as usual, returning from a friendly hunt with the whites in the upper settlements, and who expressed some astonishment that he did not stop to see them.The canoe floated to the shore below the mouth of George's Creek, was observed by Mrs. Province, who had it brought to the bank, and the friendly but unfortunate old Indian decently buried."
In Border Settlers, McWhorter says that "The brutal murder of Bald Eagle is deserving of more than a passing notice.His status, not only with his own race, but with the whites, was high, and in his death is reflected the true character of the lawless ruffians who overran the Trans-Allegheny at this time.--- Veech says that Bald Eagle was killed, perhaps, at the mouth of Cheat River; was found at Province Bottom by Mrs. William Yard Provance, who had him buried on the Fayette, Pennsylvania, USA. shore."
Since the facts are not at hand, this would seem to be an unjust, or too severe arrangement of the pioneer settlers.No doubt many today would be just as vindictive, cruel and heartless if the situation had been ours instead of theirs with the fact of murdered parents, children, wife -- staring us in the face at all times as it did them.With regard to the Negro slaves, the writer well remembers a Sunday afternoon discussion as late as 1905, wherein a neighbor, a Captain in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, attempted to prove by the Bible that the Negro had no soul, therefore was not a human being, and was intended by the Creator to ba a servant to the white race.The pioneers were probably no more prejudice toward the Indian than the southerners toward the Negro, and the former had better cause for such feeling.
Jacob Scott came to the western settlements early.In 1781, he was granted a title to four hundred acres on Scott's Run adjoining land claimed by David Scott, to include his settlement made in 1771.Scott's Run flows into the Monongahela in Monongalia County.He left a will recorded in Morgantown in Will Book No. 1, Page 329, which tells all that is known of his family."
