We have ample evidence thatthe Cistercian houses in par- ticular drew their members from the native population and became a very important part of the cultural and social life of the nation. They continued to live a vigorous life for some centuries. Recent researches would seemto suggest that even towards the end, the situation within the monasteries and religious houses was more healthy than had hitherto been thought. Llantarnam Abbey is unique in Wales and its historyhas, therefore, a very special interest. The Abbey remains today a flourishing centre of religious life, just as much alive as it was in the Middle Ages. In the reign of Henry II, for Howel ap Iorworth, Lord of Caerleon, died in 1175, and sometime before his death, he had founded the Abbey. He obtained the site by a grant of lands to the Benedictine, Black Monks of Glastenbury and Bassaleg, owners of the tithes. The transaction was confirmed in a charter, undated, which reads, "Be it known to all the faithful of the Church of God, present and to come, clergy, and laity, that 1, Howel, son of Iorworth, son of Owen, with the consent and assent of my said father, formy own salvation and that ofmy parents—and forthe commutation of the tithes of Emsanternon (Llantarnam) where I have settled White Monks, have given —." Llantarnam Abbey was sometimes spoken of as Caerleon Abbey. Llantatnam was not mentioned in the taxation of Pope Nicholas in 1290, though the Abbot of Caerleon was rated. So it would seem that there was an Abbot at Caerleon without an abbey and an abbey at Llantarnam without an Abbot. The only explanation is that there was an abbey at Llantarnam presided over by anAbbot, who took his title from the neighboring town whose lord had been founder of the abbey. Like most of the abbeys of the Order, Llantarnam was dedicated to our Lady and seems to have been founded on the feast of St. Mary Magdalen. This housewas an offshoot of the Cistercian Abbey of Strata Florida, in Cardiganshire, the premier abbey of Wales. The Cistercians had been introduced into St. Stephen Harding's own country, England, in 1128 and no order of monks had a greater influence on South Wales. Their ideals of labour and asceticism with their high religious standard won them popularity and the confidence of the people. The Benedictine rule states that contemplation must be the primary end to which all the observances of the monastery are to contribute. Seclusion fosters this ideal and in twelfth century agricultural England, Llantarnam must have been well secluded from the haunts of men.

Abbey lands passed more or less intact into the hands of the Morgan family, one of whom, Thomas, had been appointed as a commissioner for the evaluation of ecclestiastical property in the diocese of Llandaff. The Morgans were notjust speculators. They were not trafficking in monastic property and they remained faithful to the Catholic Church. The family was obviously wealthy for, as A. Owen points out, local landowners and merchants in Wales seldom bought land outright from the Crown because few could afford the sum demanded or because they held back from an imprudent purchase which at first glance appeared attractive. Initial instructions at the time of the Dissolution were that com- missioners should — pull to the ground all the walls of the churches, steeples, cloister, fraters, dorters, chapter houses, etc. Demolition, however, proved too expensive to carry out these in- structions. It was suggested that it would be a great saving if they were allowed to take down instead, the bells, the lead, the roofs, battlements and stairs and let the walls stand, using the material as a quarry of stones to make sales of. This advice was taken and thereafter commissioners satisfied themselves with defacing the buildings and rendering them uninhabitable by removing roofs and stairs. The Abbey buildings were probably in this state when they were acquired by William Morgan. This would not be regarded, as A. Jones expresses it. as a disadvantage for, given rising standards of comfort in Tudor England, no more people were eager to possess an abbey, in those days, than are anxious for a lighthouse or a gaol today. II. NOTE: The Manor of Penrhys (belonging to Llantamam Abbey) was leased to a Thomas Williams, gentleman of Penrhos, in 1534. Thomas Williams said to be a nephew of Thomas Cromwell and so the Abbey was in contact with the family of the man who was behind the Dissolution of the Monasteries. III. Lansdowne MS. B.M.

We have no space here and as the Mill is 30X 47 =- 4 stories high --we plan on using the first floor for seminars, dinners, dances and anything I can think of to raise money for the Morgan Log House. Every time we try a fundraiser are money is taken up by tents or renting facilities. Hope this works. Thought you'd enjoy what was going on in Wales at the time the Morgans came to America. Sincerely, Gyp Dear Howell: Loved your wooden nickels. tE;l Think of you often and next time I'm in your area I'll call. I plan on visiting friends in Eden next year. Will be going to England & Wales around Xmas & New Year to do more research and can't spare the V) money any sooner. Don't lose your sanity --it's no.t worth it from one nut to another. We are starting (soon) to restore a Mill that was given to us --even the total • financing has been given. So I'm glad'you sent me the info on the Burwell Mill of Gen. Daniel. It will be utilized for The historic Edward Morgan House, built in 1695 by Edward Morgan and his wife Elizabeth, grandparents of Daniel Boone, is savored by Dr. John B. Jacobs and Walter L. Morgan. The house, built when William III was on the throne, is furnished with antiques of the period. Dr. Jacobs is President of the Towamencin Historical Society, which restored and now administers the house, and Mr. Morgan is an eighth generation descendant of the original owners.

We CO, PU.BUC EIBRARY MOCKSVILLE� NC HISTORY OF THE BOONS, BRYAN, MORGAN FAMILIES By Roberta Stuart Sims (Mrs. E. Kittredge Sims) 319 Forest Avenue ' Shreveport, Louisiana• George Boone was a weaver by trade and a Quaker by religion. He was born in 16% in the hamlet of Stoak near Exeter in Devonshire, England. In his tifte, ? the Quakers were oppressed and George Boone therefore sought information of William Penn, his co -religionist, regarding the colony which Penn had established in America. In 1712 he sent his three children, George, Sarah and Squire to spy out the land. Sarah and Squire remained in Pennsylvania, while their brother, George, returned to England with gloving reports. 'On August 17, 1717, Gborge Boone, his wife and the rest of,his children journeyed to Bristol and sailed for Philadelphia, arriving there on the 10th of October. The Boones went first to Abingdon, the Quaker farming community. Later, they moved to the northwestern frontier hamlet of North Wales, a Welsh community which a fees years previously had turned.Quaker. (Ref. "Pioneers of the Old Southwest" byLSkinner, pp. 24-25). George Boone's wife Was Mary.Milton Maugridge. (Ref. "The Boone Bulletin" and "The American Pioneer Records") Their children were: i t ` •, •,_tUTZLI, 1.

He left 8 children, 52 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren, English, German, Welsh and Scotch blended into one family of Americans. Among the Welsh Quakers was a family of Morgans. In 1720 Sawa -amp a son of George and Mary (Maugridge) Boone married Sarah Morgan. A Welsh American pioneer of note who came early to Pennsylvania was Eftffi d Mobaan, the grandfather of two great Americans, Daniel Boone of Kentucky, son of Squire and Sarah (Morgan) Boone and Gen. Daniel Morgan, according to Quaker records. (Ref. pg 22 "Boone Bulletin" and "American Pioneer Records", Vol 11 1934-39) Every effort has been made to learn something of the ancestry of Qanh Mo gqD, wife of SauiXe Bo2al but without appreciable results.' It is claimed, of course, that Sarah's father was Edward Morgan of Gevynedd, Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, and her marriage record shows that fact beyond all doubt. It is also reasonably certain that her brothers and sisters were the young Morgans, whose marriage records, like •her awn, state that they were children of Edward Morgan of Gevynedd.. Beyond these facts, there is nothing authentic upon which to base wW statement connecting Sarah (Morgan) Boone with any other Morgan family record.' (Ref. pg 542 Morgan Family by ). In "Life of Gen. Daniel Morgan of the Virginia Line" by James Graham, we find, "It is interesting to knout that these tato famous fighters of the Revolutionary period, Daniel Morgan and Daniel Boone were first cousins, but we have found no adequate proof of this connection". The marriage of Edward_tean's children into the great Welsh families indicate that they, Daniel Boone and Gen. Daniel Morgan, are connected by blood. Recorded marriages of* Edward Morgan's children are as follows: e (*) There might have been other children. 1710 Elizabeth Morgan Marrief Cadwallader Morris 0+ 1713 Margaret Dorgan " Samuel Thomas 0 1718 Daniel Morgan 0 Elizabeth Roberts 1720 Sarah Morgan (Born 1704) " Squire Boone 1721 John Morgan " Sarah Lloyd -' 1728 Joseph Morgan " Elizabeth Lloyd 1731 William Morgan (widower) " Catherine Robinson (Ref.

David was born in 1709 and Sarah in 1711, while Daniel, the youngest child, was not born until 1786, a difference of twenty-ilve years. David and Sarah evidently were born in Wales.

She was Donna Edwards, daughter of Hattie Morgan Edwards. The Bible is all to pieces, but photostats of the record are also in existence. Some of the later records are on the blank sheets after "Revelations." Mrs. Sims thinks it possible that Morgan Morgan was a son of John and Martha (Constant) Morgan of Hampshire, Co., Va., now West Virginia, and that it is very likely that John Morgan, father of Morgan Morgan was a grandson of Edward Morgan mentioned on page 543 of "The Boone Family." The record of the 12th child, Daniel, born 1802, is added here. Court records of East Feliciana Pariah prove he was a son of Morgan and Jane Boone Morgan.

Kirby An article on the Morgan Log House appeared in PP 17-2, 1985, courtesy HOUSE & GARDEN Magazine. Some of you have asked what the Morgans have to do with the Penningtons. Hannah Boone Stewart, sister of Daniel Boone, married Richard Pennington as her second husband, and are progenitors of PRA Group IV. Her parents were Squire and Sarah Morgan Boone. Sarah's parents, Edward and Elizabeth Morgan, built the Morgan Log House in 1695, in what is now Kulpsville, Pa. Since first discovering the article about the Morgan House in HOUSE & GARDEN I had wanted to visit the house. In Oct. 1985, after a radiological conference in Charlottesville, Va., my husband and I drove to Elkton, Md., and spent one night with a niece, Carter Couser Tarrer, and family. The next day I decided to search records at the Cecil Co., Md., Courthouse. The courthouse was closed for a state holiday, so we drove to Longwood Gardens at Kennett Square, Pa., where we spent several hours walking through the greenhouses and grounds. The main thing I wanted to see at the Gardens was the "Eye of Water" fountain. I was disappointed again — the fountain had been drained the day before and closed for the winter. Vern and I arrived in Kulpsville Late in the afternoon and stopped at a grocery store to ask directions.to the Morgan House. We immediately drove to the house which is in a residential neighborhood, across the street from the public swimming pool. It is only a short distance off the Allentown Road which was used to transport the Liberty Bell by wagon from Philadelphia to Allentown during the American Revolution. After taking pictures it was almost dark, so we found a Holiday Inn on the Pa. Turnpike to spend the night. There are no RV parks nearby. From the magazine article, I had a telephone number to call for an appointment to see the house. We had originally planned to drive on to Reading to see the birthplace of Daniel Boone, but I could not bring myself to leave Kulpsville without seeing the inside of the Morgan House. Mrs. Mary Butler, Curator of the Morgan House, invited us for a special tour of the house at 10:00 AM the next day. Mrs. Butler, who is also the Research Historian for the house, had copied some material for me on the Morgans and Penningtons. For the next two hours we toured the house, from a look into the cellar, to the attic. According to "Valley Views", a Quarterly y Newsletter of the Welsh Valley Preservation Society, the most exciting recent accomplishment has been completion of the springroom (what I called the cellar). This room had an archeological dig several years ago, taking the floor down to the original bed. A tablestone floor has been laid with th.- water—trough complete. It seems that all of the Morgan houses in South Wales, which Mrs. Butler investigated, had the same situation. The water entered o into the springroom from the north wall and its exit was on the east wall. The j springroom in the Morgan House was built exactly in this manner. The ship ladder—type stairs were not thought to be original, but upon review, according 1 to the newsletter, were found to retain two steps and both side rails, N enabling the carpenter to correctly duplicate the stairway. Several of the old 2 crocks from the Finklestein collection are now on display and the springroom ' o is open for touring.Z. OiAVIE CO. PUBLIC USRASy MOCKSVtl1E}, Nli 0 u 60 From information in a brochure from the Morgan House, this 1695 medieval, 2�—story log house is the only one of its kind still surviving in America. It is a rare treasure for architecture, history and antique buffs. Many distinguished American families may trace their roots to this house, including Morgan, Roberts, Robeson, and Hanks families, the latter being ancestors of Abraham Lincoln. The explorer—broadcaster—author, Lowell Thomas, is also a descendant. A grandson of Edward and Elizabeth Morgan married the sister of the famous -colonial scientist David Rittenhouse. The Morgan House, erected on an 800—acre site by well—to—do Welsh Quaker Edward Morgan, is no Abe Lincoln—type log cabin. It might have been considered more a log mansion in its day — it has 10 rooms. Of particular architectural interest are the construction details. Over 90% of the building is intact. The exterior dressed horizontal logs are mortared with stones set in a rare diagonal pattern. The overhanging roof design protected the wood. The interior doors, partitions and floors are double needed; even the beams and steps. have the reeding.- The mantel shelf of the great fireplace in the dining hall has unusual jigged brackets for support. . The fireplace was the center of the family life, and was used for both cooking and heating. It is large enough to walk into --at least six feet wide and several feet deep. Mrs. Butler, the Curator, stated that because of all the unusual touches given to the beams, steps, and other woodwork in the house, it is believed that' ship carpenters may have built the house. The Morgans were also ship builders and owned many ships. They did not farm the land in Pa., but raised sheep and exported wool. I would not have thought Pa. was good sheep country. In viewing the Newbold—White House near Hertford, N.C., the oldest house in the state,. I noticed many of the same architectural details which were seen in the Morgan House. At one time, Hertford had quite a large Quaker population. To assure .absolute authenticity, the architects brought in antique broadaxes, schnitzel—banks and other early tools, using techniques of the 17th Century craftsmen. The front door is not original, but from the framing they knew it had been a Dutch door. The entrance is through a central dining hall. This leads to.a family room, then to an adjoining parents' bedchamber. Several places in the house have been glassed—in to show the original construction, such as a very early attempt at insulating and soundproofing between the parents' bedroom and the children's rooms. You can see the original lathing and other filler materials used in the various layers. I asked Mrs. Butter how everything had been cleaned and restored — if they had used sandblasting. She stated that sandblasting is not allowed in authentic restorations. Everything must be done by hand. Fine antiques from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Dietrich Foundation, the Finkelstein Collection and others furnish the house. A melodian is displayed in the family room, a gift by Dr. &.Mrs. John B. Jacobs. It was passed down to Alice Jacobs from her grandmother, Alice Dratt Bradford. Two sterling silver tankards dated 1700 and 1719 were contributed by Walter L. Morgan. Curtains and rods, as researched in England and Wales, were sketched and made locally by a blacksmith. An effort is being made to furnish a bedroom in the house so that Morgan descendants may spend a night in the house. One room on the west side of the Morgan House is used for office space and Mrs. Butler lives in an apartment above the office. The house was lived in by farming families until the 1950's which is probably one reason so much of it aaviE Co. PUBLIC UBmARy MOCKS W 61 is intact, including most of the hardware. There is a silo on the property which is supposed to be the first cement silo built in Pa. It will be restored and used as a gift shop. In 1967, Dr. John B. Jacobs was one of the busiest men around Towamencin Township. Not only was he a leading citizen and family physician, but was also Township Supervisor. He had voted to condemn "that eyesore tumbling -down building and junkyard on Weikel Road" to make way for a nice residential development. He did not yet know it, but Morgan House was equal to "diamonds" in his backyard. About that time, Albert F. Ruthrauff made an exciting discovery. An associate of G. Edwin Brumbaugh, America's foremost restoration architect, Mr. Ruthrauff happened to pass by the "tumbling -down building" one day and instantly identified its shape as an early German medieval log house. He then brought his find to the attention of Dr. Jacobs and the township officials. Dr. Jacobs, who lives in'a handsome pre -Colonial stone farm house himself, knew of the architectural firm's reputation. He remembered that Mr. Brumbaugh had restored the Daniel Boone birthplace and over 100 other historically important buildings. Dr. Jacobs listened when such noted architects talked. He then led a.movement to organize the Towamencin Historical Society in order to raise money. for restoration of the house. The Society was granted its charter in 1970. An intensive search established that the original owner of the house was Edward Morgan, son of Sir James Morgan, the last Baronet of Llantarnum in Wales, and Lady Anne Hopton. Edward Morgan, first settler in Gwynedd's Upper Welsh tract, and his wife, Elizabeth, had joined other Quakers in following William Penn to America. They were also the forebears of many prominent Philadelphia financiers, lawyers, and civic leaders. In the process of helping to preserve his area's most historically significant site, Dr. Jacobs discovered that he, too, had been living in a "Morgan House," on 197 acres of the original 800 -acre tract. Further research revealed that Edward Morgan's son, Morgan Morgan, in 1718 had built the house that Dr. & Mrs. Jacobs had lovingly restored and lived in most of their married life. The Morgan Log House is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1979 the Pa. Historical and Museum Commission cited the Morgan House as the Best Restoration of the Year..." a painstaking, carefully researched effort to bring the structure back to its original form." awards were given to the Towamencin Historical Society and G. Edward Brumbaugh, Architect. Morgan House is maintained by the Towamencin Historical Society, backed by private contributions. A recent Curator's Report states that the Morgan Hughes property, known as "Holly Hill" located at the corner of Bridlepath Rd. and Sumneytown Pike in Towamencin Township, has been placed in the Society's inventory file of historic homes. This Morgan Hughes and wife Elizabeth were the parents of: Dorothy, who married Edward Morgan -Is son Morgan, who built Dr. Jacobs' house in 1718. Even though Mrs. Butler is not a Morgan descendant, she has devoted many years to research on the Morgans. She has made one trip to Wales to gather material on the family, and plans another trip. She has also written a booklet on one of the Morgan ancestral homes, Llantarnam Abbey. It states that many of the early Morgans were Catholic and suffered much physically, as well as financially, because of their religion. I have Lound my families to 0XVIE CO. PUBUG U13K !!'y tAOCKSVLLO6 0, o 62 have been French Huguenot, Quaker, Puritan, etc., but this is the first evidence I have found that any of them were Catholic. In addition to Mrs. Butler's book on Llantarnam Abbey, I also purchased a book on Tredegar House which was the ancestral home of the Morgan family, later Lords of Tredegar, for more than 500 years. Tredegar House, originally built of stone, was substantially remodelled in brick by Sir William Morgan between 1664-1672, and remains today one of the finest and most intriguing of late 17th Century houses in the British Isles. It accommodated King Charles I and his retinue and two troops of horse on the night of July 17, 1645. Edward Morgan was made Baronet in 1642 under Charles I. He was an active Royalist and was one of those taken prisoner at the surprise and capture of the Royalist City of Hereford in December 1645. Some of my other relatives were responsible for the trial and execution of Charles I. You may be interested in.knowing that the Morgan Log House was recently used by the 'West Point Pepperill Co. of New York as a background for their advertising campaign. They made a contribution of $2,500.00 for permission to photograph the interior of the house. A copy of the booklet they prepared is there for anyone to see. The sheets and comforters, etc., will be on sale this Fall. T hope we shall see their pictures in some of the national magazines. Mrs. Butler is a very gracious hostess, and I left Kulpsville feeling very humble and proud that she and others care so much for the home of my ancestors.

Founded December 29, 1970 (215) 368.2480 JAMES MORGAN William Morgan of Diveru, South Wales, married ca. 1605 Elizabeth Morgan, daughter of Sir William Morgan of Tredegar, Monmouthshire; (now Newport), South Wales by his first wife, Elizabeth Winter. They were cousins. William & Elizabeth Morgan removed to Bristol, England, where Elizabeth died in 1638 and William died -in 1648. It is said that their three sons sailed to America in 1636 from Bristol, England. James settled in New London, Connecticut; John went to Virginia; Miles settled in Springfield, Massachusetts. James sailed with his brothers from Bristol England, and arrived in Boston (Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636. He settled first at Sandy Bar, on Cape Ann, near Gloucester, Massachusetts, and was one of that party of emigrants known as the "Cape Ann Company". He apparently -removed to Roxbury, Massachusetts, prior to 16.0, where he married Margery Hill on August 6th of that year. Early in 1650 James had lands granted to him in Pequot, now New London, Conn., " on the path to New Street (Cape Ann Street, or later Ashcroft Street), being six acres of upland where the wigwams are, in the path that goes from his house toward Culvers, among the Rock Hills.." This tract was located in the western section of the present city of -New London, and was sold by Morgan in December for a more promising homesite across the Thames River there, on land that had been granted him by the town. James Avery, William Meades, and Nehemiah and John Smith, who also had grants of land adjoin- ing Morgan, were among the first settlers, and the earliest resident farmers upon the east side of the Thames, now the city of Groton. He was one of the "townsmen" or selectmen of New London for several years, and was one of the first "Deputies" sent from New London plantations to the General Court at Hartford, Connecticut, for the May session, 1657., He was nine times afterwards chosen a member of that important assembly, the last time in 1670.

JOHN WILLCOCKSON JOHN WILLCOCKSON (continued) Sarah Willcockson b. d. m. Thomas Hagan(s) The name Willcockson is spelled interchangably Willcocks, Wilcox, WilcoxsonLt Wilcoxen, Wilcoxon. The parents of John Willcockson have not been proved, it seems likely that his father was Daniel Willcocks, a ropemaker of Philadel- phia who died 01-09-1738 according to the minutes of the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends. The same minutes show the death of Ann, wife of Daniel Wilcox, buried 05-25-1730. Daniel must have been married twice or perhaps three times: On 05-04-1720, Daniel Willcox of the City of Philadel- phia, ropemaker, and his wife Elizabeth,+ who was of full age, assigned a mort- gage to Richard Hill for a tenement and a lot of land. The records of Christ Church in Philadelphia contain the following: Love Willcox, daughter of Daniel and Mary d. 06-27-1714 Marcy (Mary?) wife of Daniel d. 02-01-1718/19 In her book on the Wilcoxson family,.Dorothy Ford Wulfeck surmises that Daniel and his wife, or wives, died young leaving minor children who may have been bound out to others in the family or to local artisans or merchants. Court records substantiating this theory have not been located. Sarah Boone was the daughter of Squire and Sarah Morgan Boone who moved from Lancaster (now Berks) County, Pennsylvania, to Rowan County, North Carolina, in 1750. The exact date of 'the marriage of Sarah Boone and John Willcockson is not known. They were married in a part of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,'that be- came Berks County in 1752. ,The Boones were Quakers, and John Willcockson was not, so when John and Sarah married, she was condemned for her act. Records of the Exeter Meeting contain three references to the marriage: 5-29, 1742, Sarah, daughter of Squire Boone, treated with for marrying out. 5-29, 1742, Sarah Boone married out of unity with Friends, (1st offence of this kind). Friends appointed -to speak to the father, Squire Boone. 6-269 17429 Squire Boone declareth he did not contenance or consent to the marriage but confesseth himself in fault in keeping them in his house after their keeping company but that he was in a great streight in not knowing what to do, and hopeth to be more careful in the future. It seems that Squire Boone placed family love above religious duty. Since Quaker records do not disclose his transfer of membership to North Carolina, perhaps this occasion dimmed his interest in Quakerism. Later, the family appears close to the Baptists. John and Sarah Willcockson also moved to North Carolina. John appears on.the 'first known Tax List there which was compiled in 1759. Subsequent Tax Lists ,show the presence of others of the Willcockson family in North Carolina: DAVIE CO.

He was Justice for Raven County, North Carolina. This record establishes membership for Squire Boone's descendants in the Colonial Dames of America. Squire Boone enlarged his farm by thrift. He continued his trade of weaving and kept 5 or 6 looms going making homespun cloth for the market and neighbors. The Boones were prosperous and happy in Oley and it may be wondered why they left their farms and loots, both of which were profitable, and set their faces toward the unknown. It is recorded that, though they were Quakers, they were of a high mettle and were not infrequently dealt with by the Meeting. Two of Squire Boone's children married "worldlings" - non - Quaker$ and were, in oonsequence, disowned by the Society of Friends. In defiance of his sect which strove to make him sever all connection with his unruly offspring, Squire Boone refused to shut his door on the son and daughter who had scandalized local Quakers. The Society of Friends there - ,,9 upon expelled him. This occurred, apparently, in the winter of 1748.49- • In the sparing of 1750 we see the whole Boone family (save two sons) with their wives and children, household goods and stock on the great highway bound for a land where the hot heart and belligerent spirit shall not be- held amiss.

She married Morgan Morgan, born September 109 1760, died March 18,� 1835. (Ref. Family Bible) I have been unable to ascertain the blood relationship, if any, between ba Jane Boone and her husband, Morgan Morgan, because of lack of genealogical infor- 017. mation on Morgan Morgan's family. However, I am of the opinion that there did exist a remote degree of blood relationship, because in my study of the various Morgan genealogies, I have observed that the earliest Morgan immigrants to this country came from gales and a great many of them settled in the Welsh community of Pennsylvania, as did Edward Morgan, grandfather of Jane Boone who was the wife of Morgan Morgan. From a manuscript which has long been preserved in our Morgan family re- cords, I obtained the following data: The Morgan family moved from Virginia to Kentucky and were among the first white settlers of that territory in about the year 1775 or 1780 and remained in Kentucky until 1800, then removed to the Spanish territory known as Louisiana and settled on Bluff Creek, now in the Parish of East Feliciana. The family that came from Kentucky to Louisiana were as follows: Two brothers, Morgan Morgan and John Morgan and two sisters, Sarah Morgan and Nancy Morgan. Morgan Morgan married Jane Boone by which marriage he left the following eight heirs, to wit: 1. Villiam, who married: Jt Mary Vardell, daughter of John Vardell who emigrated with the Morgp family from Kentucky; Name unknown Issue: Morgan Morgan Jams Morgan 2.

Her grandfather, Morgan Bryan (born 1671 and no previous Morgan connection to indicate that he was given the name Morgan because of family ties) came to America in 1695 and here married Martha Strode in 1719, a descendant of Sir William Strode, one of the signers of the death warrant of King Charles I. From h;s brother came the great commoner, William Jennings Bryan. The father of Morgan Bryan was Francis Bryan III, who married Sarah Brinker, a cousin of the Prince of Orange, and his father was William Smith Bryan, son of Sir Francis Bryan II (born 1649) and Ann, daughter of Sir William Smith. Sir Francis Bryan II, was a son of Sir Francis Bryan I and Lady Joan Fitz -Gerald, and he was a son of Sir Thomas Bryan and Lady Margaret, daughter of Sir Humphrey Bourohier and Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Frederick Tilney. Sir Humphrey Bourchier's parents were Sir John Bourchier (Earl of Eire) and Lady Ann Plantagenet. This Lady Ann was a daughter of Thomas of Woodstock (Duke of Gloucester) one Lady Eleanor de Bchun (pronounced Boone and said to be the same family as the American Boones). Thomas of Woodstock was a son of Edward III, King of England and Phillipa of Hainsult. Lady Margaret Bourchier, wife of Sir. Thomas Bryan, was a cousin of Queen Ann Boleyn and was a great favorite at the glamorous court of Henry VIII, who had a predeliction for wives. She is said to have been very beautiful and most fasci- nating and her influence was so great and far-reaching that jealous courtiers in their "whisperings" even suggested a "royal romance". (Ret.

As I mentioned in our telephone conversation, I'm flying to Tampa, Florida on 15 February 1983s I'll be in Florida for about a montho Then early in April I'll spend about a week in and around Boone, North Carolina, In May and for several months thereafter I'll be retracing ON FOOT - the Daniel Boone route from the Yadkin River area of North Carolina to Boonesborough, Kentucky. Last fall I did the route in a comfortable camper van. This retracing will be " the real thing". I'm.already set for several 'lectures' in the local public school. -P• on Daniel and. ,other Boones in North Carolin.ao After my.,.... SpriNVSummer hiking of the Daniel Boone Trail, I'll be busy pre- paring a lecture with slides and maps* The lecture will be used. as a k&bk-off for our -celebration of the 250th Anniversary of Daniel Boone's birth (22 Oetober[Old Style] 1734.). There will be no time for a trip to Devon & males until at least 1985. m o Concentrating on Cousin Dan'l in the Piedmont and Blue Grass Kentucky, I have no information on whom to contact in the Winches ter, Virginia area. ,o Enclosed maps should help you locate us when you visit the d- Carolina haunts of Boones, Bryans and Morgans. �- Ol1E CO.
