XI. Harry Morgan, son of Maj. [John Horton and Deborah Terry], born 24 Sept., 1811. He studied medicine with Dr. George F. Horton, and was also an office student of Prof. Samuel McClellan of Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1833 and 1834. He graduated at Jefferson Medical College in March, 1835. During the last year of his residence in the city, he frequently visited patients in the city and its environs, and in Feb., 1835, he was attacked with disease of the lungs. He was examined for his degree by a part of the Professors while confined to his bed, and he bore a very successful examination, all the Professors voting in his favor. He came home to Terrytown, and lived but seven weeks after he reached home, dying on the 6 May, 1835. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, and had a complimentary letter from the Rev. Dr. Ely, introducing him to some of the leading men of Columbia, South Carolina, and there he would have gone if he had lived, as Dr. Ely had influential friends there. The idea of going South to locate himself in the practice of medicine was so deeply impressed upon his mind, that he could not get rid of it, and he would not be satisfied until he started on his journey, and he did start, rode four miles in a buggy, and died the next morning at Thomas Ingham's.

Remained there until 1830, when they removed to Groveland, Oakland Co., Mich., and settled on the farm upon which they now live (1873). He purchased his farm of the Government, and it was the first Government land sold and occupied in that township. He was an Acting Justice of the Peace for twenty-two years. He was town-clerk for nine years, and supervisor for three years. He embraced Christianity in early life, became connected with the M. E. Church, and has been one of the Stewards in that church in Groveland, from 1839 to the present time. He has frequently been the class leader of the church, and his house has always been known as "The Methodist Tavern and Preacher's Home." Through his efforts mainly, a comfortable church building was erected on the corner of his farm, and it has always been known as the "Horton Methodist Church." He was Captain of the first volunteer militia company ever organized in that section of the country. He was always a true republican, and frequently received the nomination of the Whig party for a seat in the Legislature, but in consequence of the large Democratic majority in the district, he was never elected. With a character unblemished he has lived to an honorable old age, and by his many virtues he commands the respect and high esteem of the church and community in which he resides.
