He served under Captain Robinson and Colonel Preston during the early days of the Revolution. He came with his father and brother, Adonijah, to what was then Washington County, North Carolina. He served as a scout for John Sevier during the Revolutionary war. In Ramsey's Annals of Tennessee, page 178 it states that "During this summer two of the spies that were kept out in advance of the settlements, were Henry Reynolds and Thomas Morgan, discovered the Warm Springs on French Broad. They had pursued some stolen horses to the point opposite, and leaving their own horses on the north bank, waded across the river. As they reached the southern shore they passed through a little branch the tepid water of which attracted their attention. The next year Warm Springs were restorted to by invalids." While on a scouting trip he has a skirmish with the Cherokee Indians by Paint Rock; today this area is part of the Cherokee National Forest (USDA) and a portion of that area is referred to as the Paint Morgan Trail.
In 1804, he is a founding member of Tennessee's first abolition society. His land is located on the Nolichucky River at Camp Creek. In keeping with family tradition he operates a mill.
