In 1788 Justin Morgan and his family moved from Springfield, MA, to Vermont and lived in a log cabin once located on the opposite side of Neighbor Road in the Town of Randolph. Best known for the horse breed that bears his name, Morgan was also a farmer, stallioneer, tavern keeper, town clerk, singing and writing teacher, and a musical composer of notable talent. He composed sacred musical settings of poetry and psalms known as fuguing tunes or psalmody, and his work appeared in The Federal Harmony (1790) and The Philadelphia Harmony (1791); his most frequently printed fuguing tune was Montgomery (1790), set to Psalm 63. Morgan died in March 1798 and was buried in Randolph Center Cemetery beside his wife Martha. The founding sire of the Morgan horse breed, a compact bay colt named Figure, was born in 1789 in Massachusetts, acquired by Justin Morgan in 1792, and moved to Vermont, where he was pastured in the neighboring field of Judge Fredrick Griswold on the north side of Neighbor Road in the Town of Brookfield. Figure was famed for walking, trotting, running, and pulling better than other horses. After Justin Morgan sold him to purchase land in Moretown, the horse spent a hard life on farms, hauling freight, and serving as a parade mount at militia trainings, while his stud services were offered throughout the Connecticut River Valley. His best-known sons, Sherman, Bulrush, and Woodbury, continued his legacy, and Figure died in 1821.
