I started doing family research on the Morgan Family about 13 years ago. Stephen Morgan was my grandmother Lillian Morgan Hare's great grandfather.
Since I did not live in Western North Carolina, I depended greatly on an ancestry software program. Later, while visiting my cousin Sally Warren, I found that her husband Bennett was a Morgan descendant. She and Bennett drove us out to visit Perminter Morgan's grave site. I found that I was descended from Stephen Morgan a Pioneer Preacher. My husband and I visited Stephen's grave site on one of our trips to Western North Carolina. There is a great deal of information about Stephen Morgan Sr. on the internet, and I found quite a bit of information in Norma Morgan's book, "FLAT CREEK BAPTIST CHURCH 1833-1931 MINUTES". There were many other publications concerning my ancestor Stephen Morgan. Norma Dillingham Morgan's husband ,Harry Conrad Morgan 1927-1999, was my 3rd Cousin, once removed. He was also a descendant of Stephen Morgan.
Some of the following information came from Boyce Morgan, who did extensive research on the Morgan family. He sent me some of his genealogical information on my branch of the family before he passed away.
"Stephen Morgan, the first child of Perminter and Gracie Morgan was born March 4, 1776 in Rutherford County, N.C. and died Dec 14, 1859 in Buncombe County. He is buried at Flat Creek Baptist Church, which he organized in Buncombe County.
Stephen was married to Mary "Polly" Stanley on March 29, 1798. Stephen and "Polly" are the parents of four children. When and where "Polly" was born and buried is not known by this writer but she died March 18, 1818.
Stephen married the second time to Dorcas Elkins on Dec 3, 1818, and they had no children. Dorcas death date and place of buriel are not known.
Stephen married thirdly Elizabeth Byrd and they also had no children. Nothing more is known of Elizabeth.
Stephen, like his illustrious father Permenter, was also a most prominent and revered
Baptist Minister in Western North Carolina. His labors covered a wide territory which was sparsely settled. For forty years, through heat and cold, through wet and dry he rode monthly on horseback to Grassy Creek Baptist Church in Madison County,N.C. to minister to his little flock and never missed an appointment, He organized Flat Creek Baptist Church in Buncombe County in the fall of 1811, giving the land for the church and cemetery. He was pastor of that church for forty five years, He was also instrumental in organizing churches at Little Ivy, French Broad, Locust Old Field, Newfound and Cane Creek.
Stephen's life was a hard one but he was peculiarly suited to fill it. He was much in demand for Evangelistic work and in building up weak churches. He made annual trips to Knoxville, Tennessee or Greenville, S.C. to get the Associational Minutes printed. He was moderator of the French Broad Baptist Association for more than twenty years. He was a Bible scholar and met all issues with the sword of the spirit and never did his colors trail.
It is hard to imagine what the present conditions would be in this area of North Carolina had there been no Morgan to blaze the way. He was a great and good man and the Morgan spirit still hovers over the French Broad and Buncombe Associations to this day.
On one of his trips to Knoxville, Tennessee, he was asked by the people of one of the remote mountain villages to stop on his way back and hold services for them. Stephen agreed but on his way back, he was confronted by two ruffians who told him they were satisfied with their way of living, with their women and corn liquor and did not want or need his holding services. If he insisted on holding service, he would have to whip them first. Whereupon Stephen asked, "Both of you at once?" One of the men said, "No we will be fair, only one at a time." Stephen then got down off of his horse and proceeded to beat the stuffing out of them both and went on into the village and held the service!
Stephen was laid to rest in Flat Creek Baptist Cemetery in Weaverville, NC"

I really appreciate your book, and I was amazed at your information on our Morgan family. I need to read it once more. Thank you
That's it. I hope I helped illustrate the story involving your ancestors. It's such a big part of our history that you're connected to. Thanks for keeping us all up to date on your research.
I have this book...
Rob, I would like to see your story about the early settlers of South Hominy in People's History of WNC. How do I access this information? Thank you , Sallie
Sallie, thanks for this! Have you seen my story about the early settlers of South Hominy in People's History of WNC? It includes Morgans.

Bonjour Paris!
I will be honest with you, when Dan choose to go to FRANCE, I was the least excited about PARIS. Maybe it was because it is so well known or that you see pictures of the Eiffel tower plastered everywhere. "Why is everyone so obsessed with PARIS?" I thought. But then I went… and all I can say is, I get it. There is a charm to PARIS that cannot be described but only experienced.
Did you really visit PARIS if you didn't see the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Arc De Triomphe, Champs Elysees, Notre-Dome, etc?
In my opinion, you have to see these historic monuments of FRANCE. Were they my favorite part? No. Was it worth seeing – 100%.
Eiffel Tower – there is something magical about it. We didn't choose to climb all the way up, you most definitely can. You can purchase your tickets in advance or the day of, its up to you. My favorite part was just getting glimpses of it as you walked the streets of PARIS. Fun fact – the Eiffel Tower lights up (or sparkles) every night on the hour for 5 minutes. I didn't know this piece of information prior to going which would have helped us out, haha. We showed up at 1015 wanting to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle in all of its glory and waited till 1100 for that moment. And when it did, oh was it ever was magical (I screamed in excitement).
Louvre – Catching the first glimpse of the Louvre surprisingly takes your breath away – pictures don't do it justice. I do suggest taking time and seeing the Louvre. As with the Eifel tower, you can purchase your tickets online in advance, or the day off. I advise you to buy them online in order to avoid waiting in line and wasting time. How much time you want to spend in the Louvre is totally up to you – if you're a history buff you could spend all day there. If you're like me and can't handle crowds for too long – 2 hours does the trick. If you choose to do the latter, I would suggest to stick to one or two sections of the Louvre and do them well as there are plenty of fascinating things to see everywhere you turn.
Arc De Triomphe & Champs Elyses & Notre-Dome -As we roamed the streets of PARIS we found ourselves at these quintessential monuments. As you could imagine, tourists EVERYWHERE. We appreciated them for what they are worth, took some photos and then peaced out.
My favorite part about PARIS was roaming the streets and indulging at local restaurants/bakeries/cafes – all day long.
Our typical mornings in PARIS started out at local cafes sipping on cafe crème paired with the flakiest croissants ….okay, maybe two croissants.
EXPRESS BAR – Our first morning in PARIS we stopped at Express Bar since it was really close to our airbnb. We kept it really simple & French – croissant(S) and coffee. You really can't have a bad croissant in FRANCE. I didn't experience one.
Chez TROQUETTE – Our second morning in PARIS we enjoyed our café crème & croissant at this gem. It had a real mid-century modern feel to it. If you're in the 11th district, this is a cool spot to drop by.
Quintessential PARIS – every café had chairs lined up facing toward the streets. People just sat there, catching up with friends & family while casually people watching.
Others we wished we would have had the time to visit: Ble Sucre and Farine & O.
Disclaimer: I don't want to deceive anyone. I did not look up ANY restaurants that I am sharing with you. It was all Dan and our good friend David. They are the foodies and the reason WHY we travelled to FRANCE. Bella & I were simply along for the ride and ate our merry little hearts out. Yes, I know… we are spoiled.
Au Sauvignon – We just landed in PARIS after taking the red eye, we quickly changed and just went for it. Our first stop was this quaint little french bistro. We started off with sharing a bottle of wine & an assortment of meats, pates on bread. All you need in FRANCE is bread, wine, cheese & croissants. This was my diet for 11 days.
L'avant Comptoir de la Mer – For lunch, we took a stroll over to Comptoir de la Mer, a tapas style seafood restaurant. Upon our arrival, the place was packed with people, sitting at the bar, standing on the side, in every nook and cranny. We made our way in and scored a great spot at the bar right beside a mound of yellow butter – at that moment, we knew we were in the right place. An interesting feature of this restaurant was that the menu was actually displayed by hanging pictures throughout – how cool is that?! Once we started chatting with the bartender/waiter, she immediately treated us like old friends, cracked jokes and laughed while busting her butt behind the counter – she was absolutely awesome. Once it came to ordering food, we asked her for her favorites, and boy are we glad we did – The freshest tuna tartar, salmon tartar and coriander shrimp made its way to our table along with fresh crusty bread and that perfectly salty yellow butter (I'm drooling just thinking about this again!). It was so delicious that our friend that didn't enjoy seafood very much found himself having a hard time staying away.
Le Siffleur de Ballons – This restaurant/wine bar/wine shop was listed by the guys as one of the MUST GO restaurants in Paris in our planning spreadsheet (Yes we have a very detailed spreadsheet for our trips as my husband is an accountant). This restaurant had an awesome vibe that projected the fact that they don't take themselves too seriously, but they take their wine seriously and the wine we had definitely supported that! Again paired with fresh bread, Saucisson (a dry cured sausage that you need to order with every meal) and an assortment of local cheeses, was exactly what we needed/wanted!
One of my favourite moments in PARIS was having a picnic along the RIVER SIENE. This is the thing to do here when meeting up with friends/family – everywhere you go, people are gathered together on small blankets, indulging in baguettes, cheese & wine. While the more typical (& touristy) spot to picnic in PARIS is in the park in front of the Eiffel tower. We did as the locals and headed to the river. The lesson here is that sometimes less is more and that you don't need to spend a lot of money to have a memorable time with great company.
We were lucky to have been in FRANCE while the 2018 World Cup tournament was going underway. We watched FRANCE play against ARGENTINA outside a cafe (near Rue du Nil) along with the hundreds of Parisians that were overflowing from the restaurants and bars into the streets. The energy of the crowd was invigorating. Every time FRANCE touched the ball, the anticipation and excitement grew, when the goal came, the crowd went nuts. FRANCE won that game and went on to win the entire tournament, but you all know that by now.
We booked an airbnb and rented an apartment in the 11th ARR. in PARIS. The apartment was simple but met all of our needs because in PARIS, you shouldn't waste any time hanging out at your AirBNB besides sleeping, and even that, in moderation!
You do not need a car while your in PARIS, this is a walking city. We used an uber from the airport to our stay and then used the subway system the entire time to get around the city.
PARIS, you exceeded my expectations, we loved you && we will definitely be back, even if it's just for a weekend getaway.

The Poison Genius Consort - Chapter 296
Chapter 296: She'll never be it
As soon as he got the news from the City of Daughters, Tang Li had rushed to report it to Long Feiye. Once the bounty posters had been posted up, they'd received more news than posters from all over the place. Tang Li had already filtered through many of the false ones, or else Long Feiye would definitely be led astray by them in his current frenzied state.
Actually, Tang Li had been conflicted for a while over whether to tell him at all. If Han Yunxi really disappeared just like this, it might be good news for Long Feiye. He narrowly went to investigate the rumor himself, but since he didn't know what he'd do if he actually found the woman, he decided to tell Long Feiye in the end. Once Long Feiye emerged from his room, he hastened to speak up.
''Someone caught a glimpse of Han Yunxi at the City of Daughters, the news can't be wrong!''
Long Feiye shut the door behind him and asked coldly, ''City of Daughters?''
''That's right, the person who delivered the message delivered this as well.'' Tang Li handed over a jade hairpin, the exact same one that Han Yunxi often wore in her hair. Long Feiye gave a light snort as his eyes briefly flashed with cold killing intent. Who else could it be but Gu Qishao who had spread the false information with her real hairpin? If Lil Thing hadn't exposed Han Yunxi's whereabouts, he really would've run off to the City of Daughters for a look. Undoubtedly, there was an ambush lying in wait there for him!
Gu Qishao, you should worry about your own life rather than trying to take your lordship's!
''Someone come, send out orders to close up all businesses within Tianning Country's borders that have connections with the Tender Fragrance Teahouse. Freeze all of Gu Qishao's assets in all the banks, and kill him without mercy on sight!'' Long Feiye commanded coldly.
''Yes!'' the hidden guards obeyed before leaving to do their jobs.
Tang Li realized that something was wrong and said in surprise, ''You found Han Yunxi?'' What else would make Long Feiye so calmly recognize the jade hairpin as part of false information? Long Feiye didn't speak, which only cemented Tang Li's speculations. He wanted to push open the doors to Long Feiye's room, but was stopped.
''Don't bother her. Ever.'' Long Feiye's tone was mild as he spoke, but his gaze was firm.
Tang Li slowly lowered his hands, his eyebrows furrowed. He couldn't understand the meaning behind Long Feiye's words. Long Feiye didn't bother explaining either, but flew onto the roof to lie down with his arms crossed beneath his head. Tang Li hurried after him and asked, ''What do you mean by 'forever?' Are you planning to keep that woman forever by your side?''
Long Feiye didn't answer, but stared at the sky full of stars with his dark, deep pupils.
''Big bro! She has an 80 to 90 percent chance of being West Qin's imperial orphan!'' Tang Li reminded him again.
Long Feiye told Tang Li about everything the Mu Clan and Mu Xin, before giving a firm resolution. ''Han Yunxi is a descendent of the Poison Sect. Her mother was a woman of the Mu Clan, and her father a remnant of that same Poison Sect. She has no relation whatsoever to the West Qin imperial family.''
Tang Li was caught off guard, not expecting Han Yunxi to have connections with the Poison Sect. ''But even if she's a descendent of the Poison Clan, it doesn't erase the fact that she's also the orphan of the West Qin imperial clan. The Shadow Clan would never protect the wrong person!'' Tang Li was convinced as well.
After some thought, he added, ''It's not right to say that Lady Tianxin was Mu Xin just because of a single embroidered 'Xin' (心). Even if Mu Xin was Lady Tianxin, the rumors of her affair with a Poison Sect member was only gossip at most. That might not be even true. Instead, the Shadow Clan's protection is proof we witnessed with our own eyes!''
When Tang Li saw that Long Feiye looked absolutely indifferent, he further added, ''Big Bro, even if she is a descendent of the Poison Sect, I suspect they had connections with the West Qin imperial clan as well. Otherwise, why would that Shadow Clan guy be so familiar with the Poison Sect's Sky Pit?'' Tang Li's words were very logical. With Long Feiye's meticulous personality, how couldn't he understand such words?
Gu Qishao and Han Yunxi had uncovered a secret in Mute Granny, so perhaps she held a completely different story from what they knew so far.
In response, Long Feiye simply said coldly, ''If I say she isn't, then she isn't. She'll never be it!''
''You!'' Tang Li grew depressed. He finally understood that Long Feiye was planning to hide Han Yunxi's connection to the West Qin imperial clan forever. Whether or not she had such a connection, he would suppress the facts and keep her by his side.
But how could that be possible?
Even if Tang Li agreed, the rest of the Tang Clan wouldn't, especially Aunt Ru! If they took 10,000 steps back and somehow got the Tang Clan to compromise with the coverup, what about the Shadow Clan? How were they supposed to hide anything when the Shadow Clan had already gone knocking on their doors?
What did an orphan of an imperial clan represent? The bloodline of the clan, and the possibility of its dynasty reviving once again! And what if Han Yunxi discovered her own lineage one day? What would she think then?
Tang Li shook his head in disbelief. ''Big bro, Aunt Wan wouldn't agree, either.''
His Aunt Wan was none other than Long Feiye's mufei, Aunt Ru's elder sister Tang Yiwan.1
The living might not agree, but now he was dragging in the dead as well?
Just how much nerve did Long Feiye have? How many difficult decisions did he have to make over the past few days in his frenzied state? And yet all he did was keep silent, his thoughts unknown to all beyond himself.
''Big bro, isn't it just a woman? Why do you have to be so serious about her?'' Tang Li kept trying to persuade him. He never thought that Long Feiye would have a day where he would fall by a woman's hands. That's right, she's only a woman!
It was a long time before Long Feiye replied in a mild tone, ''But your lordship is serious about her.''
He only discovered how serious after she had left. For the first time, Tang Li saw a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and couldn't help but break out into soundless laughter. He too, felt at a loss. He'd always admired and worshipped Long Feiye, but now that the man himself was helpless, how could he persuade him otherwise?
''Forget it, forget it! Maybe it's safest to keep her by your side.''
The majority of the Great Qin Empire's Seven Noble Families leaned towards the West Qin Dynasty. The rest adopted a moderate stance. Once more of these clans learned of Han Yunxi's existence, the consequences would be unthinkable.
A long while later, Long Feiye sat up, his tone icy. ''Tang Li, find a way to lure out that white-robed man...and kill him!''
The only way to make sure no one knew the truth was to kill all of its witnesses.
Tang Li nodded. ''I understand.''
Long Feiye spent the entire night on the roof by himself, his solitary figure looking desolate in the darkness. The stars gradually dimmed, and the moon sank in place of the rising sun. Despite this, it felt like many years had passed during their exchange. Han Yunxi had been waiting in the room for Long Feiye the whole time. She knew that Tang Li had come to report of her sightings, and that the news was fake to begin with. Originally, she thought that Long Feiye would take care of it quickly and return. Unfortunately, she ended up waiting until she nodded off, then woke back up, the cycle repeating multiple times without her seeing any sign of him. In the end, she was finally too tired to keep waiting and fell asleep for good.
Early next morning, Han Yunxi woke up to the sound of knocking on the door and sleepily opened her eyes. But the first thing she saw was Long Feiye's handsome face!
Heavens, when did he come back? How long has he been staring at me?
Long Feiye shifted away, a little embarrassed. He pretended nothing had happened while Han Yunxi nervously touched her mouth to make sure she wasn't drooling. Only then did she feel relieved.
''Your Highness, the Wang Clan's fourth young master has requested to meet you for some business,'' the guard reported from outside.
''Have him wait downstairs,'' Long Feiye replied icily. He wasn't in a rush to leave, but washed up and called for breakfast first. He and Han Yunxi finished the meal together before he told her, ''Clean up and prepare to go back. I'll wait for you downstairs.''
Han Yunxi docilely nodded her head. She didn't take the Wang gentleman's request for a visit to heart at all. But by the time she was ready and left the room, she saw Long Feiye and a white-robed gentleman sitting at a table downstairs. The white-robed gentleman had a refined and cultivated air to him, with the aura of a scholar that put people at ease. Long Feiye and the Wang Clan had good relations, but she'd only seen Wang Gong before. Why did this fourth young master show up? Though Han Yunxi was curious, she wasn't all that interested. She was about to go down when she saw the fourth young master rise to his feet and hand over a gold car into Long Feiye's hands.
That gold card...looks so familiar! Didn't she leave it behind in Medical City? How did it end up in Fourth Young Master Wang's hands? Did he pick it up? If he did, he should just spend it. Why bother returning it?
Han Yunxi's mouth twitched as she went downstairs at an agonizingly slow pace. By now, Long Feiye had stood up as well. Wang Shuchen hastened to get back up after he'd sat down again. Today he'd come for two reasons: to return the gold card and ask about what to do with Chu Qingge. Having her sit and wait like an idiot indefinitely wasn't a solution. Long Feiye had already learned of the selling business with Lil Thing, so Wang Shuchen skipped the details and said with a smile, ''Your Highness, Miss Chu is still waiting in the Association's office. Perhaps you should go pay a visit?''
''Have her wait.'' Long Feiye turned to leave as soon as he accepted the gold card, leaving Wang Shuchen to stand there looking stunned. Should I have her wait, or not?
When Long Feiye saw Han Yunxi still standing by the stairs, he waved at her. ''Still not coming over?''
Han Yunxi walked over with her heart pounding. As expected, Long Feiye's first action was to give her the gold card and ask, ''You don't want it?''
''When did I lose it, I didn't even know...'' Han Yunxi feigned ignorance.
Long Feiye's eyes flickered with a helpless look. This woman, she really was a fool. She didn't even know she'd raised a poison beast that could eat and swallow her gold card. Of course, he wouldn't tell her the truth. Otherwise, how was he supposed to find her in the future if she went missing again?
Long Feiye's face looked expressionless as he stuffed the card into Han Yunxi's sleeve. ''Keep it safe, or else I'll have you pay me back double the next time you lose it!''
Unfortunately, his hand bumped against Lil Thing, who was hiding in Han Yunxi's sleeve to sleep again. Long Feiye dragged Lil Thing out by its tail and didn't spare it another glance before tossing it outside. ''Don't let him stick so close to you in the future.''
Han Yunxi was too busy to worry about Lil Thing this time. When he'd brought up 'pay me back,' she immediately took out the gold card and placed it securely in her medical pouch. This card had no spending limit, so how was she supposed to pay him back? And even double?! Long Feiye was so ruthless!
Long Feiye's eyes flickered with satisfaction when he saw that Han Yunxi had stored the card carefully away. Then he led her along to the exit. Wang Shuchen saw everything from his table but only found the entire scene inconceivable. He didn't expect His Highness Duke of Qin to have found Qin Wangfei already. He really wanted to meet Qin Wangfei and see what kind of woman she was, to drive the Duke of Qin so crazy that he stuck up bounty posters all over the world. Of course, he quickly recovered his wits. It would be better to figure out how to deal with Chu Qingge instead...
