General Notes: Husband - [Father] Morgan


He was born in Wales, where his boyhood and youth were passed. He was there married to a young countrywoman, and some years afterward brought his family to America, locating in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. [CBRWC, 1314]

He was a Scotchman, who immigrated to America in 1775, and located first in eastern Pennsylvania, but later removed to Allegheny County, where he purchased three hundred acres of land on Miller's run, now South Fayette township. There he remained until his death. [HAC 1889 II, 687]
