I believe Sarah Morgan was born in America and not Wales. I base my belief on research by Stewart Baldwin published in Spring 2001 issue of "The Genealogist" publication of The American Society of Genealogists." Baldwin has (in my opinion) done the most thorough research yet on the Morgan family. Edward Morgan, father of Sarah, was in America by 1684 and received a warrant for a city lot in Philadelphia on 27 July 1684 -- 5 years later he received a warrant for 100 acres of land in Chester Co., PA. In 1693/4 he was mentioned in the monthly meeting of Quakers of Gwynedd. Sarah was born 1707, and "26 Feb. 1708, Edward Morgan of Philadelphia Co., tailor, purchased a tract of 309 acres." Berks Co. was formed in 1752 from part of Philadelphia Co., but I really don't know where "Lansdale" is in regard to the property in 1707 Philadelphia County as stated by Nell Truitt. Just thought I'd add the Stewart Baldwin info in case anyone was interested.

In Joyce Beck Truitt's detailed lineage, which was greatly appreciated by me, she shows that Sarah Morgan Boone, wife of Squire Boone I/Sr, was born in Lansdale, Berks Co, PA. I have seen somewhere, possibly on this list or in Hazel Spraker's publication on the Boone family, that Sarah was born in Bala, Gwynedd, Wales. Can someone clarify which location is the right birthplace and what proof you have to support the location data so that all on this list is in agreement? Thank you.
