Francis Marion Morgan, born in Wayne County, Georgia, was the son of Stephen Reese Elihu Morgan and Martha A Nicholas Morgan. Frank, as he was known, first married Marie Elizabeth "Mollie" Krugh about 1901. Marie was the daughter of Adam and Elizabeth Krugh of Huntingdon Co., Pennsylvania. Together, Frank and Marie had a daughter, Inez Elizabeth Morgan, born in June 1903. Sadly, Marie passed away less than 3 weeks after the birth of her daughter.

Between 1903 and 1906, Frank moved from south Georgia to Albuquerque, New Mexico at the advice of his doctors who hoped the drier climate would be helpful to his health. There, Frank married for a second time in February 1906 to Glennie Biddie Holland of Lee County, Alabama. Glennie was the daughter of James Thomas Holland and Frances Marion "Fannie" Baker Holland. According to the 1910 Census, he was living in Albuquerque with his wife Glennie, daughter Elizabeth (from his first marriage), another daughter Marion, and a son Glenn by then wife Glennie.

Although Frank held several different occupations throughout his life, he worked primarily as a plumber, as there was an increasing demand for indoor plumbing. In the years just prior to his death, he became the Building, Plumbing, and Electrical Inspector for the City of Albuquerque.

In 1919, Frank passed away in Albuquerque, leaving behind wife Glennie and their children Marion, Glenn, and daughter Naomi (b. 1911) in Albuquerque and daughter Elizabeth Morgan, mother Martha A Nicholas Morgan, three sisters and two brothers, and many nieces and nephews in south Georgia.

Francis Marion Morgan was later credited by his daughter, noted author and poet Marion Morgan Estergreen, for providing both material and inspiration for her two books about pioneer, Kit Carson.

Frank's New Mexico death records state that he was removed to Jesup, Georgia for burial. His parents are interred in the Jesup City Cemetery there, and Frank is believed to be in one of the two unmarked graves in the Morgan family plot, alongside both of his parents, his maternal grandmother, and two of his sisters.
