Career
[edit | edit source]Rev. Morgan was "station-preacher" meaning that he generally traveled to different churches to preach the Gospel, without having a church of his own. He had preached at every prominent church in the Baltimore Methodist Episcopal Conference.[2] Morgan also served as chaplain to the United States House of Representatives from 1851 to 1852.[3] He was married to Susan Rigby Dallam Morgan, a poet of the Poe era.
Morgan State University, in Baltimore, used to be the Centenary Biblical Institute of the Methodist Episcopal, but was renamed in his honor in 1890.[4]
