He was born in New York City in East Broadway on October 23, 1806.[2]
He was a profitable brass founder and added to his income by real estate speculation.[2]
Morgans was the leader of the Whig Party in the Seventh Ward of New York.[2]
He was elected assistant alderman in 1849 and represented the ward as alderman from 1850 to 1851.[2] During his term as alderman, he was president of the board of aldermen,[3] and was Acting Mayor during the temporary absence of Ambrose Kingsland.[2]
In 1852, he was nominated by the Whigs as a candidate for mayor of New York City, but lost to Jacob Aaron Westervelt.[4]
He retired from his business in 1857.[2]
In 1859, he moved to Stamford, Connecticut, where he built a residence.[2]

He remained in Cutchogue until the death of his wife, after which he lived with his son James at 373 Monroe Street in Brooklyn until his death.[2]
