Christopher Morgan was one of the earliest settlers of Western New York, became a successful owner and operator of a general store, and acquired one of the largest estates in New York. His son, Edwin, purchased the general store in 1827, engaged in various other enterprises, and served as a U.S. Congressman from 1850 to 1858.
