John apparently went to Ross Co., Ohio with some of his brothers, where he married. John then went on to Indiana like many of the others of the Morgan family, since that is where most of John's children were born. The youngest, Ruth, at least, was born in Shelby Co.

On July 28, 1833, John B. Morgan and his wife Elizabeth were received into the Sugar Creek Presbyterian Church, Shelby Co., Indiana.

Around 1842, John and his family moved to Nodaway County in northwest Missouri. (One son dies in Missouri in 1842.)

John B. Morgan received three US Land patents issued May 1, 1846 for land in Nodaway Co., Missouri:

part of the NE q. Sec. 2, Twp 63N, Range 36W, 5th PM, 80.5 acres
part of E half of the NE q. Sec. 2, Twp 63N, Range 36W, 5th PM, 41.13 acres
part of E half of the NW q. Sec. 1, Twp 63N, Range 36W, 5th PM, 40.96 acres

The Morgan family cemetery is two miles southwest of Maryville on State Highway V, then south on gravel road three-fourths of a mile, turning right then almost immediately left down lane along fence line.

Census: 1850, Nodaway Co.,Missouri
