1807 is quite a year for Luther Wilcox and his bride...
and another first for the town of Morgan.

Luther Wilcox and Lucinda Dean were getting married on this day in 1807. It was the first marriage to take place in the town of Morgan, Vermont.

The village center, just up the hill from Seymour Lake, was the perfect spot for a summer wedding. Luther Wilcox was from Morgan and Lucinda Dean was from Grafton, New Hampshire. Eber Robinson presided over the joyous ceremony.

1807 was proving to be a big year for Morgan. Just four months earlier, residents had held the first Mogran town meeting, and in just over a month from this day, townspeople would select their first state representative.
