Rev. Perminter Morgan (spelled Permenter in his day) was a Pioneer Baptist Minister throughout the region. He was the grandson of Permenter Morgan of Wales. He was born in St. George Parish, Harford Co., Maryland, and was the oldest son of James Morgan Sr. and Mary Davis, who were married July 18, 1754. The family of James Morgan and Mary Davis came to North Carolina in 1764 and first settled in old Rowan Co, NC (now Guilford and Randolph Counties) along the Uwharrie River. Perminter married Gracie Jones about 1775 (probably in Guilford or Randolph Co). Their first 2 children (Rev. Stephen Morgan, and Martha Morgan Owenby) were born in Randolph County, and they then the family moved to old Tryon County (now Rutherford County), where Permenter served as a circuit riding Baptist preacher to spread the Baptist doctrine. The rest of their children (James, John, Jesse, Jonathan, Abner, Permenter Jr, Mary Jane "Polly", and Elijah), were all born in Rutherford County.

Rev. Perminter Morgan was the first pastor of Mountain Creek Baptist Church, organized about 1780 in Rutherfordton. He was also the first pastor of Bill's Creek Baptist Church in Lake Lure. Sometime later he moved his family to the Sugar Hill area of McDowell County. There, he was the first pastor of Bethel Baptist Church when organized in 1801. He continued as pastor of Bethel Baptist Church until his death in 1824.
