Edward (Ted) Morgan is the oldest son of Ann Ollen Watkins and Thomas William Morgan.
Edward Morgan was born in Herfordshire, England May 16, 1843. He came to America in 1853 with his father's younger brother Joseph. His parents, Thomas and Ann Watkins Morgan, followed in 1855. He married Sarah West in 1863 and they lived and worked in the Goshen, Pleasant Grove, and Oak City/Leamington, Utah area prior to moving to Idaho.
Edward (Ted) Morgan and his wife Sarah West had moved their family from Leamington in 1881 to the frontier community of Neeley near what is now American Falls, Idaho. Edward and Sarah were the second members of the Morgan family to split from the main group and leave their parents behind. Edward and Sarah left a long record of pioneering in Goshen, Deseret, Oak City, and Leamington, staying with the main Morgan clan until new opportunities took them to Neeley in 1881. He and Sarah had nine children, three of whom died in childhood.
Edward and Sarah moved to Idaho in the fall of 1881 along with Edward's brothers William Morgan and James John Morgan, settling on warm Creek, five miles from American Falls, Idaho, then known as Neeleyville. The first winter, in December, 1881, two of their boys, William Henry and Joseph John, contracted Diptheria and died. Edward apparently homesteaded and farmed for a few years in Neeley, Idaho. From the record made by their granddaughter Nora Moore Tyler (Daughter of Willard and Annie Lydia Morgan Moore), it appears that the Edward Morgan family next moved back to Leamington, Utah and next to the Star Valley, Wyoming area along with Willard and Annie Moore, about1888. Nora Moore Tyler states that Edward and Sarah West's daughter Hannah Elizabeth died in childbirth in the Star Valley in May, 1888 and that "Grandma" (Who would have been Sarah West Morgan) took the baby. This sounds like Edward and Sarah West Morgan spent at least a year or more in the Star Valley. In 1891 the family moved to what is now known as Shelton, Idaho where they homesteaded and farmed until a few years before Edward's death.
The Upper Snake River Valley in Idaho was a sagebrush desert when Edward moved his family there. Once again, as he had at Neeleyville, he homesteaded and cleared land. He helped to build many of the first irrigation canals that brought water to the farms. He accompanied his father, Thomas Morgan, and other family members, up the Snake River to Blacks Canyon where they cut logs, made them into rafts, and floated them down to Shelton to build their first houses. He helped get out the logs and build the first schoolhouse and first chapel in Shelton.
Sometime before 1888 Edward and Sarah came back to Leamington, bringing their family. In that year their daughter Sarah Priscilla got aquainted with Frank Rysert (son of Nancy Jane Morgan) and married him in Leamington in August of 1888. Two of their other daughters, Annie and Hannah Elizabeth, also married before leaving Leamington.
Edward Morgan settled for the last time in Shelton, Idaho and is buried in the Shelton Cemetery. After his brother William Morgan's wife died in 1919 William moved from Neeley, Idaho to Clark, Idaho, near to his older brother Edward.
Three of their children are buried in the Ririe-Shelton Cemetery: Ann Lydia (Annie) Morgan Moore, Mary Emma Morgan Brown and Robert Morgan.
Ted died December 19, 1928 at Sheldon, Idaho. He is buried in Ririe Shelton Cemetery.
