Eliza Morgan is the daughter of Ann (Nancy) Ollen Watkins and Thomas William Morgan. Eliza Morgan was born 11 April 1849 at Cobhill, Bishops Frome, Herefordshire, England.
She came to America with her family in 1855. Except for a sister, Mary Ann Morgan, who died as an infant, Eliza died youngest of all her siblings.
Eliza Morgan married George Morrison in Deseret on June 31, 1868. They lived in Oak City and Leamington.
From a locally kept history of Leamington, Utah, speaking of Eliza Morgan Morrison: "She was a crippled lady who bore five children. One child died in infancy, the other four died of diptheria in 1882. Their children are: Nettie Morrison, Isabelle Morrison, Amy Morrison, George Morrison and Eliza Morrison. Mother and children are buried in the Oak City Cemetary.
Author Margaret Roper reports three children: Isabelle who died at age 6, Nettie, and Eliza who died in infancy.
George Morrison later married a woman named Lestra Stewart and moved to Leamington, where he built and owned the town's first store on former Morgan land and where he also helped build the landmark stone charcoal kilns, two of which are still there less than two miles east of Leamington. He later staked a claim on a lead mine at Fool Creek near the mountains above Leamington. His second wife was a schoolteacher in Leamington.
