Biography

Justin Morgan was a farmer and tax collector in Springfield. Later he moved with his family to Randolph, Vermont, where he was a schoolteacher, singing teacher, farmer, and town clerk. He taught singing schools all over New England. He owned Figure, a stallion from which the Morgan breed arose. Most of his psalm-tunes were published in Asahel Benham's Federal Harmony (1790), and one in Andrew Adgate's Philadelphia Harmony (1791).
