I am trying to confirm the birthplace of James Morgan, Jr. (b Abt 1763) son of James (Janus) Morgan who married Mary Davis 1755 in Rowan County, North Carolina. 3 of Janus Morgan's daughters married the sons of Richard Wright, Sr. of Rowan County, North Carolina. I have a copy of a pension for a James Morgan, courtesy of henrihay48@aol.com, dated June 7, 1832 stating that he is a resident of Yancey County, NC; 74 years old; volunteered in Randolph (Rowan) County 1781, born in Baltimore apr 26, 1760. Can anyone confirm the parents of this James Morgan? I'd love to believe it, but unfortunately james morgan is a common name. This can be another piece of the puzzle about the parents of Richard Wright, Sr. Herb Arkin 92,000 Descendants and relatives of Richard Wright, Sr. of Rowan County, North Carolina who emigrated to Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.

Can we prove that the JAMES that m. Mary Davis was the father of the 3 daughters that m. Richard Wright, Sr.? I have a DAR application copy that doesn't list the names of the 3 girls. Another researcher told me that there were several James Morgans in that area, and that to date we don't know which one (if the father was a James) it is..
