From "history of Camden township"
MORGAN, SAMUEL, was one of the thirteen children of Amos - born 1750 - who was a son of Samuel, Jr., born 1711, son of Samuel, Sr., born 1669, son of John, born 1645, son of James, born 1607, son of William, of Wales.

Samuel married, 1st, Sarah Dayton, and they had two sons, Dayton B., who became a millionaire manufacturer of agricultural machinery at Brockport, N.Y., and Selden, who died young.

He married, 2nd, Amy Allen, a sister of Ezra and Hiram, of Camden. Samuel and Amy Morgan's children were, David, Sarah and Celestia.

In 1840 they came to Camden from Monroe County, N.Y., and settled just west of Samtown, on the Jay Whitney farm.

In 1848 he bought the farm across the road, where Elmer Morgan used to live.

In 1849 received a deed of 62 acres of the west part of the Whitney farm. He sold three small pieces in Samtown and

In 1859 sold the reminder of the south farm to Nelson Hill. The first store in the township was opened in his woodhouse.

He was the first man here to vote the Abolition ticket, and was an agent of the "Underground Railroad", which aided in the escape of fleeing slaves. The village which grew up around him was known as "Sam's Town," shortened to Samtown, and so called to this day.
