MORGAN THREAD 2
🧵🪡
It gets wild from here and very hard to disprove.

This is your invitation to the Great Awakening.

We’re going to “T” off from a middle part of my last Capt. Morgan thread

We’re going back to Judge Philip Hickey Morgan.
Remember him, the post-civil war judge in New Orleans?
Here’s the link to the previous thread that ties to this one
👇

Mr. Philip H. Morgan’s wife was Beatrice Leslie Ford.
Her grandpa started PPG.

Wiki says she was a native to Baton Rouge.
So who was her father?
The only B. Ford daughter that would be affiliated with Judge Philip Morgan and Grandpa PPG is Illinois Gov. Thomas Ford’s daughter

So is Gov. Thomas Ford
Judge Philip Hickey’s real father? Or his wife’s father?
Was Thomas Ford a native of Baton Rouge owning sugar plantations and slaves in Baton Rouge?
The textbook says Ford moved from Kentucky to Kendall County, Illinois.

So then I looked up 🔍 Judge Philip Hickey Morgan’s Baton Rouge native-wife, Beatrice Ford Morgan’s mother.
Beatrice Ford Morgan’s mother is Elizabeth Ann McKennan[County, Illinois.] 🤔
Well isn’t that interesting…
It’s probably just all a coincidence, right?

*Now hold this thought*
We will come back.
Let’s look at some of
Judge Philip Hickey Morgan’s siblings.
As I young(ish) man born at midnight in the garden of good and evil aka the 13th colony, where history is a big deal, I recognized Judge Philip H. Morgan’s sister immediately

Judge Philip Hickey Morgan’s sister is Sarah Ida Fowler Morgan. She’s a very popular civil war figure because she kept a Diary and documented her experience surviving the war. Her journal was published in 1913. It was critically acclaimed as a grand work of Southern literacy

The diary is interesting because it does conjure the reader’s sympathy when she talks about death in her family and being displaced multiple times, but let’s be clear- this girl wasn’t sleeping on railroad tracks or under bridges dodging bullets.
Her family owned plantations.

Sarah talks about the grief and sadness she felt upon receiving the news of her brother, Capt. Thomas Gibbs Morgan Jr’s death. He was wounded at Antietam, captured at Kelly’s Ford, and imprisoned on Johnson’s island, Ohio where he died.
Do what?
This is a big Red flag 🚩🚩🚩

A Captain, a son of a U.S. attorney died from a battle wound while imprisoned? No.
Thomas Morgan was married to Lydia Carter, the daughter of General A. G. Carter. She was a cousin of Mrs.Jefferson Davis.
A man this connected would never see the front line or even pickup a gun.

So now, in disbelief of how her brother died, I decide to look up Sarah Fowler Morgan’s husband.

Sarah married Mr. Francis Warrington Dawson.
Mr. Dawson was born in London and he cared about America so much during this war, he booked the 1st available flight over 2 help us out

Before coming to the USA,
Mr. Dawson decided it be best he change his name from
Austin John Reeks to
Francis Warrington Dawson, and what better way to help in a civil war than to take a job as a propaganda journalist steering people’s minds and forming opinions about the war

At this point I’m thinking about civil war battles, the major players in the war; The generals, and then it hit me. The highly acclaimed General John Hunt Morgan. He led “Morgan’s Brigade”-the deepest push into Union territory. They built statues & named race horses after him

At first glance it doesn’t look like there’s any relation between John Hunt Morgan of Kentucky and the Baton Rouge Morgans.
The one thing I subtly noticed they had in common was John Henry Hunt’s mother was a Hunt and Sarah Morgan Dawson’s mother was also a Hunt

Upon further inspection I noticed John Hunt Morgan had a brother named Thomas, a Lieutenant who died in the war, just like Sarah Morgan Dawson.
Both had a brother named Thomas.
Both Thomas’ died in the war

John Hunt Morgan of Kentucky had an uncle named
Robert P. Hunt. His mother’s brother. Robert was a surgeon. One of the best, but alcohol took over his life, affecting his work and life. His wife left him. Shortly after, Robert fell from his apartment balcony and died

For the record:
Robert Hunt was married to Sallie Ward -as in Montgomery Ward.

Then I remembered Sarah Morgan Dawson had a brother named Henry Waller Fowler Morgan…and he was a surgeon. He was one of the best. He studied in Germany. But tragedy would end his life as well. Henry Waller Fowler Morgan died in a duel 🤺
How ironic and tragic 😔

At this point:
Sarah Morgan Dawson of Baton Rouge and John Hunt Morgan of Kentucky both had brothers named Thomas whom died in the war✅

Sarah’s brother Henry was a surgeon. He died tragically.

John’s uncle Robert was a surgeon, He died tragically✅

Mothers were Hunt✅
🤔

Then I noticed something else unusual about John Hunt Morgan. John wasn’t married to any of the confederate general’s daughters, like Sarah’s brother, but his right hand man was Basil Wilson Duke. His brother-in-law.
Mr. Duke later became Jefferson Davis’s body guard.

That’s unusual because Sarah’s brother Thomas was married to Lydia Carter, a first cousin of Mrs.Jefferson Davis.
🤔🤔

I wonder if Basil knew Sarah’s brother Thomas

One more unusual thing about Mr. John Hunt Morgan of Kentucky was he died in battle. Morgan’s Brigade we’re driven back out of Union territory. John was taken into custody and place in an Ohio penitentiary…

Sarah Morgan Dawson’s brother “died” in an Ohio penitentiary 🤔🤔

But John Hunt Morgan could not be contained. He escaped and made it to Greenville, Tennessee (the hometown of Lincoln’s Vice President Andrew Johnson) where Morgan met his faith in a surprise attack from the Union forces and he was shot in the back.

John was the brother-in-law of
Basil Wilson Duke -Jonathan Davis’ bodyguard, & Lieutenant General Ambrose Powell Hill and. In 1862 John married Martha "Mattie" Ready, the daughter of Tennessee U.S. Representative Charles Ready and a cousin of William T. Haskell, former U.S. rep.

Lastly I looked into John’s sister Henrietta Morgan Duke. She married Basil Wilson Duke, John’s right hand man.

💥And then it hit me💥

Sarah Ida Fowler Morgan and Henrietta Morgan Duke are THE SAME WOMEN.

Birth and death dates are close

Two different pictures of the same woman

Records show Sarah died in Paris and Henrietta died in Kentucky, but I remembered reading about John Hunt Morgan in the old set of encyclopedias I own.
John lived outside of Lexington in Paris, Kentucky.
Sarah didn’t die in Paris, France, she died in Paris Kentucky. Boom🤌

Remember John Hunt Morgan of Kentucky’s brother-in-law Ambrose Hill? I looked over his parents and then I looked over Judge Philip Hickey Morgan and his wife and there was another major coincidence

Now Let’s look at Stonewall Jackson.
Thomas Jonathan Jackson.
Hmmm 🤔

Thomas Morgan is
Thomas Jackson

You remember Sarah Morgan Dawson’s husband Frank Dawson?

Francis Warrington "Frank"
Dawson from the City of London is Jefferson Davis, leader of the confederacy

Though Frank Dawson had other roles to play after the war

Louisiana Justice Philip Hicky Morgan is Ulysses S Grant

And the assassination of Abraham Lincoln opened up the door for JP Morgan to become the 17th President of the United States of America, Andrew Johnson

Remember, the Morgan twins and Anderson Cooper are descendants of Slave Plantation owner Judge Philip Hickey Morgan

JP Morgan didn’t need to be president long, just long enough to set the 1870 corporation of America into motion. He was almost impeached because he pushed for quick restoration of
the seceded states to the Union without protection for the former slaves.

And John Hunt Morgan’s son went on to become the Governor of Puerto Rico putting a Captain Morgan back in the Caribbean ⛵️
