Adam Morgan (1797 or 1798 NJ) related to Adam Morgan who is in Gloucester tax lists from 1777 to 1797. An Adam Morgan joined the Revolutionary forces from Morris County in 1776 and got out 6 months later. They fought under Elias Dayton who was building Fort Independence.
According to Fold 3 archives of Fed Gov John Morgan reenlisted January 16th, 1777
Adam Morgan was sent to Albany, NY from Ticonderoga because he was sick February 20th, 1777. From Mount Independence to Albany. According to the timeframes of construction, Mount Independence was in the midst of construction in 1776 at the northeast end of Lake Champlain in VT. Fort Ticonderoga is at the southwest end of Lake Champlain in NY.
Adam musters out and was sent south via Ticonderoga then down river to Albany to the hospital. John Morgan re enlists for 6 months.
Information from Gloucester Historical Society:
Deed Nathan Thomas, et ux., dtd 5 Aug 1819 Bk. EE p. 481 to Elisha Chew 5 Aug 1819. Land adjoining ADAM MORGAN's land; and which land Nathan Thomas purchased of JOHN MORGAN & SARAH, his wife by deed 26 March 1817 Bk. Z, p. 416- Doughten papers Glou. Co. Clerk's office.
Book: Notes of Old Gloucester County, Vol. 2, p. 7:
The Sign of the Golden Sheaf (of wheat they mean) tavern was situated in the angle formed by the junction of the Salem and Sculltown (Auburn) roads at Swedesboro. Adam Morgan operated it in 1821. In his application for a license he stated the house had been built as a tavern and always used as such. The compiler has had many good meals at the "Sign of the Golden Sheaf," and has often inquired about its registry books but like nearly everything else, excepting the church and graveyard of Trinity Church, there is but little historical information obtainable since the death of our honored and respected Quaker friend, Capt. Chas. D. Lippincott.
An Adam Morgan born in Greenwich Twp.-Glassboro died Sept 1905 (or 1908- cannot read it) in Reynoldsville, Pa. (could be a son of Adam Morgan- the one I am missing from the 1840 census Blockley)

East Vincent Township, Chester- near Springville/Spring City where he was listed as a paper maker in 1860. This must have had something to do with the fact that his father in law Ellis Leach had business with a printing factory in England and was in this paper trade. He was a master dyer. His daughter Hannah possessed the formulas and destroyed them before she died.
Alice Leech is living with them there.
