    and went to England on this business. Whether he thought he had actually made the discovery, or was expecting to make it, we are not told. Alas, his bright dreams of great wealth from the King came to a speedy end. He died soon after his

    [1279-louise_burns.FTW]

    Samuel Dold Morgan and his two brothers were born in Staunton, VA. The family moved, first to Maryville, TN around 1808 and then to Huntsville, AL in 1813. In April, 1823 the three brothers were recorded as partners with their father in the
    merchandising firm of "Luther Morgan and Sons" in Huntsville, AL.

    Samuel Dold Morgan was married on November 2, 1819 to Matilda Grant Rose Mackintosh of Staunton, VA, born in 1802. The family moved from Huntsville to Nashville, TN in January, 1833, where Morgan became involved in dry goods and banking.
    Samuel Dold Morgan was at once a merchant, architect and builder. His firm, Morgan and Company, was one of the largest wholesale importers of dry goods and a manufacturer of clothing; the business was sufficiently sound and respected to be
    permitted to issue script money during the Panic of 1837.

    On January 30, 1844 he was appointed to the new commission charged with planning a new State Capitol, becomming its president in 1854; he was instrumental in choosing William Strickland of Philadelphia as the architect of this monumental
    structure. In 1856 his firm built the Morgan-Reeves Building at 49 Public Square which survived until 1975. During the Civil War he engaged in manufacturing munitions for the Confederates, until Nashville's occupation by Union forces. He was
    also a Confederate official, serving as chairman of the Central Bureau of Military Supplies in Nashville during the War. He died an honored citizen of Tennessee, on June 10, 1880, and his remains were interred in the southeast corner of the
    State Capitol.

    Samuel Morgan was an uncle of General John Hunt Morgan of Alabama, who served with the Confederate Army and led "Morgan's Raiders."

    Comments written by Amanda Morgan:

    The next son was named St. Clair Mackintosh, after my mother's brother. He was a strikingly hansome man, of strong personality, making friends for himself of all who knew him. He was educated at West Point, was a soldier by nature, but to
    gratify his father, he gave up his inclination for the army, and was made a junior partner in the Wholesale Merchantile business of Morgan & Co. When the war of the rebellion broke out, he was among the first to enlist in the regiment raised
    by Maj. Hieman and was made Captain by election, of one of the companies. He was captured at the fall of Ft. Donaldson, carried a prisoner to Johnson's Island, was exchanged just in time to participate in the Battle of Chickumaugua, where he
    was killed, gallantly leading his company in a charge against the enemy. He was buried on the battlefield of Chickumaugua by his own request. He married Miss Ida Pope of Memphis who survived him; he had three children, Sam, Louie and Judith

    St. married Ida Percy Pope on 4 May 1854. Ida (daughter of John Pope) was born in Memphis, Shelby, TN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
