- Married Gracie Jones she was born 27 Mar 1755 died Dec 12, 1834
Buried in Bethel Baptist Ch. Cem.Rutherford County NC
I have seen his father also listed as Stephen.
The following account, with some editing, is that of Tom Morgan . In it you will see why I believe Reverend Perminter Morgan may have been among the many Baptists in North Carolina who became a part of the Stone-Campbell Movement; in any case, his grand daughter Anney Morgan and her husband James Stroud are the firs t in the family that we know for certain were members of the Church of Christ.
"Perminter Morgan, our next generation father, signed a protest petition in 1771 against the dams being built on the Deep River. This was probably the first environmental protest in America.
The tax list of Randolph County N.C. for the year 1779 show Perminter Morgan owning 4 cattle, 3 horses, and 1 pound 12 shillings English money.
The back country Baptist religion found its greatest pre-revolution leadership in Shuble Sterns. In 1755 this dynamic preacher migrated from New England and founded the Sandy Creek Baptist Church. This seat of the Primitive Baptist faith became the mother of many back country churches and issued over 125 preachers to spread the teachings before 1800.
The Sandy Creek Church is 3 miles south of the James Morgan Home stead. The second church built (1802) stands today. Hand spli t Oak walls, wooden nails, windows to the west and door to the e ast. One student of this church was Perminter Morgan, the oldest son of James and Mary and our forefather. He followed passive primitive faith closely. He never took up arms in the war of revolution. He did however, harbor his brother from the English. He was also a Whig in politics and a protestor. This passi ve civil disobedience was consistent with his faith.
Perminter became a traveling self proclaimed preacher of dynamic stature. He was found on the Rutherford County tax rolls in 1 790. He found his first church in the far west of North Carolina. He then founded and was ordained in the Mountain Creek Church of Rutherford County in 1792.
From 1802 until 1810 Perminter was the most powerful preacher i n the western Carolinas. His style and personal stature matched his teacher, the Rev. Shuble Sterns. Deep blue eyes, tall lea n body, and strong confident words caused much emotion among his followers.
Perminter broke away from the primitive Baptist faith. He believed in missionary work, did not demand passive resistance in social change, but did demand active church work by his follower s and family. Many other differences could be listed by religious scholars for from 1700 to 1850 may divisions occurred within the Baptist faith and the exact changes of each are difficult to understand. [This is why I speculate that Perminter became a Stone-Campbelite.]
In all the written words concerning the Rev. Perminter Morgan an d the breakup of the early Baptist faith none have been found to say he was anything but a dynamic, deeply religious, God lovin g man; Honored by some and loved by many.
His final church was the Bethel Missionary at Montfords Cove N.C . He and wife Grace are buried there among many of his sons, daughters, and friends."
_________________________________________________
The following article was contributed by Lafayette Morgan of Ma ion, NC, who is a direct decendent of Perminter Morgan. This was found in an old Family Bible which had been handed down to him . This Perminter Morgan according to his statement, was the Father of Stephen, James and Jesse who settled in Buncome County.
"Perminter became a minister of the Gospel in early manhood and was a Whig in politics. Once he and his wife were halted by a band of Tories while on their way home from church. He soo n convinced them that he was a minister of the Gospel and the Captain of the ban believing him to be a good man let them go on their way home.
Believed to the organizer of Mountain Creek Baptist Church, and served as its first pastor. Also the pastor of Bills Creek Baptist Church, Bethel Baptist Church in McDowell County.
In appearance he was medium height, erect, active and inclined t o be a little overweight, weighing abt 175. He had penetrating , deep blue eyes and was a man of great endurance and untiring energy. He was a man of great piety and was considered a speaker of great force.
He help organize the Broad River Baptist Assoiciation in 1800 an d was a messenger to both the Bethel and Charleston Association prior to 1800.
When at last over come by a malignant diseased, he was forced to lay down his work and go hence to met death like the Christian he had lived.
A last statement from Perminter Morgan to his children., wherein he calls his children by name:
"To my eight sons and two daughters:
I know my time here is not long. I would feign drop a few word s as a farewell.
Death is certain and wisdom is desirable; then the fear of the L ord is the beginning of wisdom, and when we set out on any busin ess certainly we would like to have a friend. Christ is a frien d that sticketh closer than a brother.
If God be for us who can be against us? God did not create us for the devil. Christ bore his image, and although we are fallen in Adam, our federal head, yet in the second Adam we can come without money or price. All is yours if you will come to Christ, and if you do not come when the offer is made, "Woe be to the Gospel Slighter?", sin will sink him where mercy cannot be vented.
Who of you will meet me at the right hand of Jesus? Will Stephen; will Martha; will James and Elijah; Will John; will Polly, will my namesake Perminter; where is Jesse, if he is lost it wil l be with his eyes open. Oh! Abner and Johnathan is not Heaven and Eternal Life worth seeking for?"
_________________
Perminter's children and grandchildren were also ministers, founding churches
themselves. ... Many of these preachers rode a circuit, ministering to flocks
in several churches in many widespread, outlying communities . I don't know
if you are familiar with the Appalachian landscape, but before the advent of
mass transit it was a rugged terrain that left the mountaineers very isolated
from the rest of the world.

Rev Perminter Morgan
Birth: Aug. 29, 1755
Death: Apr. 28, 1824
McDowell County
North Carolina, USA
Rev. Perminter Morgan (spelled Permenter in his day) was a Pioneer Baptist Minister throughout the region. He was the grandson of Permenter Morgan of Wales. He was born in St. George Parish, Harford Co., Maryland, and was the oldest son of James Morgan Sr. and Mary Davis, who were married July 18, 1754. The family of James Morgan and Mary Davis came to North Carolina in 1764 and first settled in old Rowan Co, NC (now Guilford and Randolph Counties) along the Uwharrie River. Perminter married Gracie Jones about 1775 (probably in Guilford or Randolph Co). Their first 2 children (Rev. Stephen Morgan, and Martha Morgan Owenby) were born in Randolph County, and they then the family moved to old Tryon County (now Rutherford County), where Permenter served as a circuit riding Baptist preacher to spread the Baptist doctrine. The rest of their children (James, John, Jesse, Jonathan, Abner, Permenter Jr, Mary Jane "Polly", and Elijah), were all born in Rutherford County.
Rev. Perminter Morgan was the first pastor of Mountain Creek Baptist Church, organized about 1780 in Rutherfordton. He was also the first pastor of Bill's Creek Baptist Church in Lake Lure. Sometime later he moved his family to the Sugar Hill area of McDowell County. There, he was the first pastor of Bethel Baptist Church when organized in 1801. He continued as pastor of Bethel Baptist Church until his death in 1824.

Some may have already noticed or will take notice that I have contributed many memorial pages to Findagrave as of those that were buried at this Bethel Baptist Church's Cemetery, Bethel Church Rd. and in doing so, some may have wondered perhaps why...if you will read the added information underneath the old Bethel Church building photo showing on this memorial page...then you will understand more.. as to the reason..why? ..Thanks! `Autumn-

Rutherford County, North Carolina, Historian
Rutherford, North Carolina, was formed April 14, 1779, from a part of old Tryon County. (Lincoln County was formed from the remaining part.)
Among the cases at this time were local men accused of treason for being Tories. James Withrow and Robert Porter were appointed Commissioners of Confiscated Property, property seized from co nvicted Tories. Later some of the wives were able to reclaim the ir husbands' property after the men took the oath of allegiance.
Not all the cases during the war were about allegiance. Reverend Perminter Morgan, pastor of Mountain Creek Baptist Church, bro ught the Reverend Daniel Asbury of the Methodist Church before j ustice of the peace Jonathon Hampton at the courthouse. Morgan c omplained that Asbury did not have a license to preach. Hampto n asked Morgan if what Asbury preached hurt the people in any wa y. Morgan answered that it did not. Hampton then said to let Asb ury go and preach, as it did not harm the people - It might hel p them.

Phone: (915)755-0764 Has researched Abner's line Permin ter Morgan, our next generation father, signed a protest petition in 1771 against the dams being built on the Deep River. Thi s was probably the
first environmental protest in America.
James Morgan Sr. was participant in the Revolutionary War. Hi s service as
an officer or enlisted soldier has not been documented. However, his
appearance at the "The Battle of Alamance", designation as a Wig in politics,
receipt of bounty for supplies, and records of his neighbors and son leave
little doubt he fought in the war of revolution.
The tax list of Randolph County N.C. for the year 1779 show Jame s Morgan
owning 66 acres of improved land, 590 acres other land, 14 cattle, 6 horses,
and 80 pounds English money. Perminter Morgan was listed in the same tax
district owning 4 cattle, 3 horses, and 1 pound 12 shillings English money.
The back country Baptist religion found its greatest pre-revolution
leadership in Shuble Sterns. In 1755 this dynamic preacher migrated from
New England and founded the Sandy Creek Baptist Church. This seat of the
Primitive Baptist faith became the mother of many back country churches and
issued over 125 preachers to spread the teachings before 1800.
The Sandy Creek Church is 3 miles south of the James Morgan Homestead. The
second church built (1802) stands today. Hand split Oak walls , wooden nails,
windows to the west and door to the east. One student of this church was
Perminter Morgan, the oldest son of James and Mary and our forefather. He
followed passive primitive faith closely. He never took up arms in the war
of revolution. He did however, harbor his brother form the English. He was
also a Whig in politics and a protestor. This passive civil disobedience was
consistent with his faith.
Perminter became a traveling self proclaimed preacher of dynamic stature.
He found his first church in the far west of North Carolina. He then
founded and was ordained in the Mountain Creek Church of Rutherford County in
1792.
Form 1802 until 1810 Perminter was the most powerful preacher in the western
Carolinas. His style and personal stature matched his teacher, the Rev.
Shurble Sterns. Deep blue eyes, tall lean body, and strong confident words
caused much emotion among his followers.
Perminter broke away from the primitive Baptist faith. He believed in
missionary work, did not demand passive resistance in social change, but did
demand active church work by his followers and family. Many other
differences could be listed by religious scholars for; from 1700 to 1850 may
divisions occurred within the Baptist faith and the exact changes of each are
difficult to understand.
In all the written words concerning the Rev. Perminter Morgan and the
breakup of the early Baptist faith none have been found to say he was
anything but a dynamic, deeply religious, God loving man; Honored by some and
loved by many.
His final church was the Bethel Missionary at Montfords Cove N.C . He and
wife Grace are buried there among many of his sons, daughters, and friends.

From Charmaine Ernst:
In answer to your question, the Morgan's and Wilkerson's, etc, for the most
part, stayed in the mountains of North Carolina for generations . Many of
their descendents still reside in the area. He was a minister a nd founder
of several Baptist Churches. From what little I know, he appears have been
very charismatic and respected as a minister. For a while he r sided in
Gulliford Co., NC where he met and married Gracie Jones. The next location
they lived in was Lincoln County, NC.
From Lincoln County, several of the families that marry into the
Morgan line, along with the Morgans, move to Rutherford County . I don't think
they were in Rutherford for a long period (this may be due to the fact that
the counties were splitting and forming new ones rapidly during the early
1800's). From Rutherford they move to McDowell County where they settled in
( so to speak). Perminter founded Bethel Baptist Church, which still stands
today, and he and Gracie are buried in the cemetary there. (As are
generations of their descendents!)
You say you found a concentration of Strouds in Marion, NC. I think you
found the fount. Marion is the county seat of McDowell County , NC. The area
that Perminter and Gracie Jones Morgan's settled in now has a M rion address.
At that time it was called Sugar Hill Twp. It is really in the middle of
nowhere, half way between Old Fort and Marion, and a short hop from
Rutherford County, NC. I spent many a childhood vacation being bored
silly!!!!!!
As you will see, when I send the information, many of the descen dants had
large families. In some there were 10 to 15 children!!!!! A ve ry commom
occurance in rural families up until WWII. You will also find t hat many of
Perminter's children and grandchildren were also ministers, foun ding churches
themselves. ... Many of these preachers rode a circuit, ministe ring to flocks
in several churches in many widespread, outlying communities . I don't know
if you are familiar with the Appalachian landscape, but before the advent of
mass transit it was a rugged terrain that left the mountaineers very isolated
from the rest of the world.
