Zackquill and Drusilla lived in this house in Bunker Hill, Berkeley County, Virginia, before moving to the Monongahela.

When she was twenty-one, she became the second wife of Zackqull Morgan, who was ten years her senior and had four children (all girls) by his first wife. He was the seventh of nine children, and the sixth son of the Reverend Morgan Morgan (a native of Wales who -- erroneously -- had the reputation of being the first white settler in present-day West Virginia and who was the first presiding justice of the Frederick County, Virginia court). Zacquill became the founder of Morgantown, Monongalia County, Virginia.

Drusilla bore Zackquill thirteen children - the first nine were all boys; the last four were all girls.
