SAMUEL DOLD10 MORGAN (LUTHER9, GIDEON8, SAMUEL7, JAMES6 MORGAN, JR., JAMES5 MORGAN, JOHN4 MORGAN, CAPT., JAMES B.3 MORGAN, WILLIAM2, WILLIAM1) was born November 08, 1798 in Staunton, VA, and died June 10, 1880 in Nashville, TN. He married MATILDA GRANT ROSE MACKINTOSH November 02, 1819, daughter of GEORGE MACKINTOSH and SARAH WEITZEL.
Notes for SAMUEL DOLD MORGAN: 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."
