"Hello Cousins!" Hoping to find other HART / MORGAN family "Cousins: who descend through these families, wishing to make sure that anyone who has taken their MORGAN family ancestry from what is written in the history of the HART family to know that the HART family history is INCORRECT on the ancestry of Zedekiah MORGAN of WV. Below please find part the post I just made to another family researcher in regard to our MORGAN family ancestry! At 10:12 PM 7/18/98 -0700, another researcher wrote: > > Just checked my source and it is on page 238 of the HART book. >Not that it cannot be wrong.

I fear that most people accept that our MORGAN family information is correct as written, and never seek to verify it in any way. If anyone wishes to check they can find that Peter, the son of Isaac MORGAN, was not born in the correct time frame to have been our family's Peter MORGAN, and unless my memory fails me again, he either died in his youth, or has some other disqualifying feature to exclude him from being the father of our Zedekiah MORGAN. Also please note that Ruth DARTE was the first wife of Zedekiah MORGAN, rather than his second. Our MORGAN family descends through Richard RHYS MORGAN of Wales; Charlestown, MA; and New London, CT. -INDIVIDUAL BROWSE-RIN 63879 ------------------------------------ Name: Richard Rose MORGAN Sex: M Birth: Abt 1635/1645 Place: ,,WLS Chr: Place: Marr: 7 Oct 1664 Spouse: Hopestill MIRRICK-63880 Marr: Spouse: Marr: Spouse: Death: 1698 Place: ,New London,CT Burial: Place: Father: William MORGAN-110084 Mother: Unknown Notes------------------------------------------------------------ "RHYS MORGAN / ROSEMORGIE / ROSEMORGAN / ROSE-MORGAN" _Ancient Families of Weathersfield, CT_ 1679 removed to New London, CT (now Waterford, CT). -INDIVIDUAL BROWSE-RIN 63875 ----------------------------------------- Name: John MORGAN Sex: M Birth: 1666 Place: ,,MA Chr: Place: Marr: 1699 Spouse: Ann DARTE-63876 Marr: Spouse: Marr: Spouse: Death: Place: New London,New London,CT Burial: Place: Father: Richard Rose MORGAN-63879 Mother: Hopestill MIRRICK-63880 Notes----------------------------------------------------------------- Is this the John MORGAN who died in New London, 24 Apr 1754? _New London, CT - Civil Vital Records_. -INDIVIDUAL BROWSE-RIN 63698 ------------------------------------------------ Name: Peter MORGAN Sex: M Birth: 10 Jan 1711/1712 Place: New London,New London,CT Chr: Place: Marr: 23 Feb 1738 Spouse: Elizabeth WHITMORE-63703 Marr: Spouse: Marr: Spouse: Death: 13 Aug 1786 Place: Norwich,New London,CT Burial: Place: ,New London,CT Father: John MORGAN-63875 Mother: Ann DARTE-63876 Notes------------------------------------------------------------------------ _Norwich Vital Records_ state that Peter "died in the 76th year of his age".
