Another Alligator Horse! 
One of the guys I use to reenact with (in the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry) was on a business trip in Kentucky, and he made a point to visit some of the sites related to Morgan. I recall, Sandy, that he showed me a photo of the historical marker you mention! 
I also had some kin with the 3rd Btn KY Mounted Rifles under Morgan, but this was in 1864, after the Ohio Raid.
(....there were also a few from my mother's side out of SW Virginia with the Stonewall Brigade, & out in Missouri under Quantrill's black flag....but that is another story 
).
