John B. Morgan enlisted March 4, 1864 in Company F of the Iowa 33rd Infantry of the Union Army in the US Civil War. That regiment had been garrisoned in Little Rock in March 1864, and about then they started a two month expedition through southwestern Arkansas, returning to Little Rock on May 3rd. There were several battles during this expedition, some of which resulted in heavy casualties for the 33rd, apparently including John.

The 1850 Keokuk Co. marriage record is for John Morgan and Sarah Jane Carson. I'm not absolutely certain it is for this John Morgan, but I'm pretty sure. The William Carson family is right next to the the Morgan family in the Steady Run Twp censuses. William Carson married Lydia Boggs in 1839 in Shelby Co., Indiana. Lydia was a sister to John Morgan's mother Betsey Boggs. It appears that Sarah Jane Carson might have been a daughter from a previous marriage of William Carson since there are several other children, ages 12--21, with William and Lydia in the 1850 census in Steady Run Twp. Those ages put all the children as born before William and Lydia's 1839 marriage. The reason I'm not totally sure it is this John Morgan is that his and Sarah's son Theodore was born in Indiana in roughly 1849, according to census information. Such things do happen, I guess.
