Comments written by Amanda Morgan:
The next son was named St. Clair Mackintosh, after my mother's brother. He was a strikingly hansome man, of strong personality, making friends for himself of all who knew him. He was educated at West Point, was a soldier by nature, but to
gratify his father, he gave up his inclination for the army, and was made a junior partner in the Wholesale Merchantile business of Morgan & Co. When the war of the rebellion broke out, he was among the first to enlist in the regiment raised
by Maj. Hieman and was made Captain by election, of one of the companies. He was captured at the fall of Ft. Donaldson, carried a prisoner to Johnson's Island, was exchanged just in time to participate in the Battle of Chickumaugua, where he
was killed, gallantly leading his company in a charge against the enemy. He was buried on the battlefield of Chickumaugua by his own request. He married Miss Ida Pope of Memphis who survived him; he had three children, Sam, Louie and Judith
