1903, Feb 3 -- Article, Statesville Landmark, Iredell County, NC
"A Wife Trade That Was Allowed to Stand" Asheboro Courier (Jan 29, 1903)
"During the trial of Asa Morgan at Troy last week for the murder of Reger an account came out from the admissions of the mother of the prisoner while she was on the stand that her husband was a Davis whom she married many years ago. After having been married to Davis for a short while there was a trade or swap made by her husband with a man by the name of Morgan. The two men swapped wives without any other formalities further than an exchange. Mrs. Morgan, as she is called, is an old woman and the mother of 12 children, four of whom were born after the exchange of wives by the two men. Since the killing of Reger a son of Mrs. Morgan was killed by John Richardson. It is alleged in self defense; and since the last term of Troy court John Richardson has married a daughter of Mrs. Morgan, a full sister of the young man killed by Richardson."
1903, Mar 17 -- Article, Statesville Landmark, Iredell County, NC
"Lane Morgan shot and instantly killed John Richardson near Candor, Montgomery County, Saturday. The two men were at the home of Marshal Pitman, whose wife is Richardson's sister. Morgan drew a revolver crying, "You killed my brother and I'll kill you," shot Richardson dead. A few months ago Richardson had killed a half brother of Morgan."

"Dangerous Criminals Who Have Escaped the Courts and the Penitentiary" Rockingham Anglo-Saxon
"In May 1903, Birch Morgan and Asa Morgan, two brothers, shot and killed a man named Reager, in Montgomery County, eight miles east of Troy. Birch Morgan did the shooting. Asa was arrested, was tried and convicted in Montgomery court, fall term, 1903, for aiding and abetting in the murder of Reager. He was convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to thirty years in the State penitentiary. Within six months, he escaped. Birch Morgan has never been caught. Both are at large.
Last may Lane Morgan, Kiser Morgan and Allen Richardson, after making threats, went to Marshall Pittman's home, where John Richardson was employed as a farm hand, and Lane Morgan shot and killed him (John Richardson.)
After some months all three were arrested in South Carolina and were brought to Troy for trial. Last October, Lane Morgan was convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to thirty years in the State prison; Kiser was sentenced to twelve years in the penitentiary. Allen Richardson was acquitted.
One of our Troy correspondents notes the fact that Lane Morgan has escaped from the penitentiary authorities."

Supposedly Julius Davis and William Morgan thought that it would be a good idea to "swap" wives and swap wives they did, without any legal formalities. The trade stood only on their agreement. Loveday had 8 children by Julius Davis and 4 children by William Morgan. The 4 children by William were: Birch Morgan, Kiser Morgan, Asa Morgan & Lane Morgan.
In August 1902, Eli Davis & John Richardson's wife had thing going, so Eli & John's wife thought they would eliminate John. Eli went to John's house with an axe and the intent to kill John, but John heard someone coming in his house and he pulled out his gun and shot & killed Eli. Needless to say John & his wife (I don't know her name) divorced and John married a full sister of Eli's. Eli's half brother Lane Morgan made the comment after John killed Eli that "I'll kill John Richardson with the same gun he killed Eli with". Well, one day in March 1903, Lane Morgan, Kiser Morgan and Allen Richardson went to the home of Marshall Pittman (where John was employed as a farm hand) Lane shot and killed John. (whether it was with the same gun or not, I don't know). Prior to John Richardson killing Eli Davis and Lane Morgan killing John Richardson, according to a newspaper article in the Asheboro courier, in May 1902 Birch & Asa Morgan had killed a man by the name of E H Reager. They killed Reager on the simple fact, Reager had called the house of Asa Morgan and asked the way to a house of "ill repute" aka whorehouse in the neighborhood. I am assuming Asa thought Reager was implying Loveday. All this came out in the trial of Asa and Birch Morgan. Birch actually did the killing and he was sentenced to 30 years, Asa was sentenced to 12 years and Lane Morgan was sentenced to 30 years for killing John Richardson. Lane and Birch escaped from prison and remained at large for a few months, but they were later captured in February 1904.
