In 1855, he married Ellen O. Kinyon who lived but one year. Jan. 1, 1863, he married Emma Smith, of Otisco, N. Y. Three children were born to this union, one dying in infancy, Mrs. Estella Millard, who preceded him three years ago, and Herbert the one son remains with the mother, also one brother, Sylvester Morgan, of Janesville, Wis.
He with his wife came to Wisconsin in 1867, settling near Whitewater, and in 1875 they came to Cresco, settling on the farm that was their home so many years; stopping work only when failing health forced him to.

His death occurred suddenly Friday noon, April 23rd, while sitting in his chair.
