MORGAN in the records of Gwynedd Friends Meeting (Religious Society of Friends or Quakers, Montgomery Co., PA)

source: records at Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore College. Note that after about 1828 there are two sets of books - one for the Orthodox Friends and one for the majority of Friends who joined the Hicksites. The Hicksite branch kept the Meeting House and most of the younger members. The main item in the books of the Orthodox branch is the disownment of about everyone who did not agree with them. The Orthodox branch also seems to have the older books and their pages continue where the old books left off, while the Hicksites started new books starting with Book number 1. Comments in brackets [] are those of the transcriber James Quinn, Historian, Gwynedd Friends Meeting. Indented data are from sources other than meeting records. This page last modified September, 2009.

Note: Susan Aldridge summarizes a great deal of information about the surname Morgan in the Philadelphia area HERE...

Note: Stewart Baldwin, a well known and respected genealogist, has an Edward Morgan descendancy HERE constructed from the primary records. Mr. Baldwin adds that "Edward Morgan's origin is unknown. He was certainly not the son of Sir James Morgan (of the Morgans of Llantarnum), as has been frequently claimed." The children of Edward Morgan are indicated on our web page, below, with roman numerals I-XII.

Note: Howard Jenkins, the nineteenth century Gwynedd historian, gives some details of the connections of Edward Morgan of Towamencin and Montgomery townships to the pioneer Daniel Boone HERE, and gave a brief account of Edward Morgan HERE.

Note: A log home stands on the original property of Edward Morgan in Towamencin Township, a few miles from Gwynedd Meeting. This home is a museum and its web site is HERE.

Note: William Scroggins has a well researched Edward Morgan descendancy on line as well. Just keep in mind that Edward Morgan of Gwynedd is not the son of Sir James Morgan when reading it, and Mr. Scroggins makes no claim to have researched this himself or found any evidence that it is so. He does a good job of debunking the bad job that Thomas Allen Glenn did on this family (Glenn was the pioneer in Pennsylvania Welsh genealogy who, after he had exhausted the Pennsylvania records on the early settlers of Merion township, removed to Wales to continue the hunt, and for Merion families is reliable.)

[her father Cadwallader Morgan of Merion was a well known Quaker minister. A biography in Welsh Settlement of Pennsylvania by Charles Browning, pps 105-8, has been placed on-line by Google Books. Browning largely built on the work of Thomas Allen Glenn who also researched this line. Quite a bit can be found on the Cadwallader Morgan line by perusing through The Incompleted Burial Records of Merion (PA) Meeting Grave-yard by Margaret B. Harvey, A.M. (transcribed from an unpublished manuscript by Elizabeth Hanebury).

Edward, 1709/10-1-6 - signs subscription paper for 5 pounds towards the building of the new Meeting House. Perhaps the first settler in Towamencin township, a chart showing his children is on the Morgan Log House site. He removed to Montgomery township before 1723 when he transferred the deeds of his property to his sons John and Joseph. His wife Elizabeth was an active member of Gwynedd Meeting (see below). Besides contributing to the building of the new Meeting House, the documentation for Edward primarily consists in signing the marriage certificates of his children and neighbors in Montgomery. Debate continues amongst the museum staff on how much of the Morgan Log Home was built by the Morgans as opposed to later owners of the land. The genealogy of his descendants has been well studied because of the connection to the pioneer Daniel Boone (son of daughter Sarah Morgan). An interesting reference for Edward Morgan's line is Susan Aldridge's blog.

III. Edward, the son of Edward and Elizabeth apparently died around the time Gwynedd Monthly Meeting was set up [1714], and is not in the records of the Meeting. His wife Margaret (last name unknown) is in the records when she marries Rees David.

Edward, son of Morgan Morgan and grandson of the immigrant Edward Morgan is not in the Gwynedd records (he was not a Friend, at least officially). See also Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks by Clarence V. Roberts and Warren S. Ely (1925) as chapter XXXIV (pps 381-388) which reads, "Edward Morgan, son of Morgan and Dorothy Morgan, born near Gwynedd in 1719, married Margaret Rittenhouse, daughter of Matthias Rittenhouse, and a sister of David Rittenhouse, the famous astronomer, and settled in Montgomery Township. They had so far is known but one child, Morgan Morgan."

Edward, 73-3, 1769-10-31, son of Enoch, offered account for a marriage contrary to discipline.

Edward, 113-3, 1771-6-25, was disowned for disunity.

Edward 1823, May 7th, died Edward Morgan, of Montgomery (Samuel and Cadwallader Foulke's Memorandum books)

Elizabeth, 1720-6-30, "John Web and Mary Boone Declared their intention of Marriage the second time this meeting appoints Elizabeth Morgan & Jane Evans to see the marriage orderly accomplished." This wedding was held at Gwynedd, September 13, 1720.

Elizabeth, 1721-7-26. "Cunerad Cunrad & Ann Burson Declared their intention of Marriage the second time Elizabeth Morgan & Elizabeth Richardson are appointed to attend the Marriage and see it orderly accomplished." [It appears that Elizabeth Morgan was called on to visit Friends who lived rather far from Gwynedd Meeting like the Boones and Bursons.]

Elizabeth. It is likely these prior records are for Elizabeth, wife of Edward the immigrant. Many of the following records are likely for Elizabeth, the wife of Daniel Morgan, and a well known Quaker minister in her day.

Elizabeth 1730-1-31. "That weighty service of visiting families having under the consideration of severall meetings and now we find that Gwynedd Preparative have nominated Ann Roberts, Alice Griffith, Margaret Jones, Cathrine William and Elizabeth Morgan to goe in company with the men friends as they find freedom in the Love of truth."

Elizabeth 1730-8-21. "This Meeting appoints Margaret Jones and Eliza Morgan to attend the Quarterly Meeting att Philadelphia."

Elizabeth, 1732-10-27, "This Meeting being under a concern respecting some young women that were friends who have not only acted contrary to the rules of our society but have by their scandolous actions brought shame upon themselves and sorrow upon friends - This meeting once more appoints Cathrine William and Gwen Davis to visitt these (to witt) Eliza Jones, Eliza Morgan, Hannah William and Jane Edward.

Elizabeth, 1734-1-25, "Alce Griffith, Cathrine William and Elizabeth Morgan are appointed to visitt frds families"

Elizabeth, 1735-5-26- "Griffith Ellis and Jane Lewis Declared their intention of Marriage with each other the first time - Elizabeth Morgan and Jane Jones are desired to make inspection into her Clearness and Conversation and bring report as they find things next Meeting" The next month Elizabeth Morgan and Jane Jones are asked to attend the marriage of this couple as overseers of the wedding.

Elizabeth, 1735-12-24, "Elizabeth Morgan and Sarah Kinderdine is also appointed to speak to Ellin Griffith touching the great offence she has committed"

Elizabeth, 219-1, 1737-16-30. received on certificate from Haverford MM.

Elizabeth, 1754-5-28. granted certificate to the Islands of Barbadoes and Tortola. [Elizabeth (Roberts) Morgan, wife of Daniel Morgan, was a travelling Quaker minister. She is mentioned in a book about women Friends ministers in the eighteenth century called Daughters of Light by Rebecca Larson on pages 146 (travels with fellow minister Elizabeth Hudson), p. 182 (accompanies Susannah Morris to England), and p. 313 ( a mini-biography reads, "Elizabeth (Roberts) Morgan (1688-1777): born Llangower, Wales, her father, Robert Cadwalader was a Welsh farmer, origninally Anglican; immigrated to Gwynedd, Pennsylvania, with her family ca. 1698; her brother Rowland Roberts was a Quaker minister; she was a minister by 1730, representative to Quarterly Meeting; married at age 29 in 1718 Daniel Morgan (1691-1773) of Gwynedd, Pennsylvania, a yeoman; he was a minister, representative to Quarterly Meeting; Elizabeth was the mother to two children.)]

Jane, 207-3, 1775-10-31. granted certificate to Goshen MM.

There is a John Morgan, apparently unrelated to the Edward Morgan line, but sometimes confused with it, that removes 1720-1725 from Abington to Richland. He had been disowned by Abington in 1720 for his marriage out of unity to Deborah Woodruff and his apology had not been accepted by Abington MM. Therefore, he does not appear in the Gwynedd MM records after his removal to Richland, as far as I know. This John Morgan is the subject of Chapter XXXIII in Clarence Roberts and Warren Ely's Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks. After this John Morgan died in 1741-3 (leaving a Bucks Co. will) his wife, Deborah, joins the Friends at Richland and her children are recognized as members too. Roberts and Ely make the comment in their biography of Morgan Morgan, son of Edward and Elizabeth of Towamencin and Montgomery, that Morgan is "supposed to be a brother of John Morgan" of Richland, but an examination of the marriage certificates and wills of the sons of Edward Morgan show this not to be the case. John Morgan of Abington and Richland bought land in Abington in 1699 and 1706 and appears to be older than the sons of Edward Morgan. Morgan Morgan, son of Edward, in his will identifies a brother Joseph, the only Joseph in the vicinity. The Joseph Morgan (of Towamencin) is identified as a son of Edward on his marriage certificate. John Morgan, the son of Edward, marries Sarah Lloyd (see next). Deborah (Woodruff) Morgan, wife of John, also left a Bucks County will made in 1749 and proved 1750. The children of John and Deborah are James (m. Ann Heacock), Susanna (m. Jonathan Heacock), Isaac (unmarried), John (m. Mary Gaskill), Sarah (m. Charles Dennis) and Deborah.

John, 41-1, 1721-7-26. granted certificate to Haverford MM to marry Sarah Lloyd.

VII. John Morgan, son of Edward of Gwynedd m. Sarah Lloyd daughter of Thomas of Merion, at Merion meeting house, 9th mo 8, 1721 (Radnor - then called Haverford - MM records). [JQ - Thomas Lloyd was from Llanfor Parish, Merionethshire, Wales and married Elizabeth William, daughter of William ap Edward of Blockley township, Philadelphia County, who left a will there in 1714.]

John Morgan is shown owning 100 acres in Towamencin twp. in the 1734 Philadelphia Co., PA tax list.

VII. John [Morgen, sic], Gwynedd MM page 276- book 1, 1741-12-23, granted certificate to Hopewell MM. (Pencilled in - son of Edward and Elizabeth. His wife was wife Sarah Lloyd [see previous entry].). [ See deed research on the Morgan Log Home web site. which shows John Morgan selling the original Morgan home site to Evan David on August 12, 1741. The Morgans (John and Joseph) appear to have been with the vanguard of a fairly large group from Gwynedd Meeting that settled the frontier in what is now Berkeley and eastern Hampshire County, West Virginia (then Frederick Co., Virginia).] John died in what was then Frederick County, Virginia about 1746 and an abstract of the administration of his estate in 1746 and other information is summarized by Susan Aldridge on Genforum.

XI. Margaret Morgan, daughter of Edward of Montgomery, married Samuel Thomas, Montgomery, at Gwynedd meeting house, 3rd mo 3, 1713 (Radnor MM records) [This couple removed to Richland and are the subject of Chapter XLV of Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks by Clarence V.

Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks by Clarence V. Roberts and Warren Ely, p. 555-560:

"Samuel Thomas was the progenitor of the Richland family of Thomas, was either a native of Wales or an American born son of one of the early Welsh settlers in the upper Welsh Tract in Montgomery County. The Cymric custom by which a son takes the given name of his father as his surname may account for our failure to determine jhis parnetage as he does not seem to be a member of any of the several families of Thomas who were among the early settlers of Merion and Haverford who retained the surname of Thomas from the time of their arrival in Pennsylvania. He was born February 17, 1690, and was a resident of Montgomery Township at the date of his marriage in 1713. and the only signer of his marriage certificate bearing his name was Robert Thomas and he signed in the second column, not in the first, where the names of parents always appear. He and his family held membership in Gwynedd Monthly Meeting from its organization in 1714 until the organization of Richland Monthly Meeting in 1742. On Nicholas Scull's map of Richland Manor 1734-5 he is shown as owning land, which is now the western portion in Quakertown. He was a land holder in Montgomery Township and his name requently appears on records pertaining to the early history of that township in the laying out of roads, etc. He was, with Edward Roberts, one of the committee appointed by Gwynedd Monthly Meeting to collect money for the use of "Swamp Meeting" 10 mo. 30, 1740; he was also one of the building committee to build an addition to the Meeting House in 1748.
Samuel Thomas died 5 mo. 7, 1755, in his 66th year as recorded on the records of Richland Meeting. He married, first, at Gwynedd, Margaret Morgan, a sister to Sarah Morgan, the wife of Squire Boone and mother of the illustrious Kentucky pioneer, Daniel Boone, and he was a signer of the marriage certificate of that couple at Gwynedd 7 mo. 23, 1720. Margaret died at Richland 10 mo. 24, 1750, in her 57th year, and Samuel married, second, 10 mo. 19, 1752, Phebe (Wardell) Lancaster, widow of Thomas Lancaster, the pioneer preacher of Richland Meeting.

IX. We have yet to find any records in the Gwynedd minutes for Mary Morgan (daughter of Edward and Elizabeth) married to John Wright prior to 1750. Similarly there are no records for any of the sons of this couple in the Gwynedd records. A number of Mary's daughters were married at Gwynedd Meeting House (see Dickinson Genealogy). The only mention of Mary (Morgan) Wright in the minutes is on 7 mo., 25, 1750 when she rejoins the friends by admitting her error in marrying, contrary to discipline, John Wright many years before.

[See also Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks by Clarence V. Roberts and Warren S. Ely (1925) as chapter XXXIV (pps 381-388) is a descendancy of Morgan Morgan and Dorothy Hughes, which reads in part, "He settled in what later became Whitpain Township, then known as the 'Adjacents of Gwynedd," where he died... His will, dated 1 mo. 3, 1727-28, mentions his wife Dorothy, son Edward and James [sic, should read Jesse - JQ], and brothers Joseph, William and John." Clarence Roberts later wrote a family genealogy (1940) which corrects some errors he made in Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks. This genealogy is available at the library of the Historical Society of Montgomery County on the far wall under Roberts.]

Morgan Morgan, born 5th-mo. 16, 1782, was a justice of the peace at Montgomeryville for twenty-five years. He was a blacksmith and gunsmith by trade, and was one of the workmen in that occupation who could make a double barreled gun in the early days. His blacksmith shop stood opposite Gwynedd Friends meeting house, just south of the Post Office. It was he who built the "Beaumont House" in 1817 which still stands near the corner of Route 202 and Meeting House Rd (owned by Foulkeways). Apparently he removed to Montgomery township at some point and sold the house to Dr. Antrim Foulke. In the 1850 Census - Montgomery twp., Montgomery Co. PA he is Morgan Morgan, age 68, farmer, $3500, b. PA with Ann Morgan, 63, PA, Hannah Morgan, 22, PA, Peter Foos, 14, PA. See also Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks by Clarence V.

Howard Jenkins: " Note:  Ruth (Morgan) Evans is mentioned as a Quaker minister in Daughters of Light by Rebecca Larsen, p. 323.

Sage (Morgan) Ellis (b. 1678 Wales, d. 1761, PA, the wife of Humphrey Ellis of Whitpain township was a Quaker minister (Daughters of Light, p. 323, by Rebecca Larsen). Aug. 26, 1718. Sage Ellis having produced a certificate from Abington MM in order to join herself to this monthly meeting was read and approved (Womens Minutes from GwyneddMM)

March 30, 1762. Gwynedd MM: Joseph Jones, John Morris and Samuel Morris are appointed to draw a Memorial of our deceased Friend Sage Ellis and desired to have it done by next in order that it may go to our next quarterly meeting. Following: "Sage Morgan Ellis was born in Wales, in the year 1678, and removed to Pennsylcania, in the year 1700, not being at that time a member of the Society of Friends. After a time, being convinced of the truth as professed by Friends, she was acknowledged a member among them at Gwynedd. As she continued faithful to the unfoldings of truth, a gift in the ministry was conferred upon her by the great Head of the church. Her communications in that line were generally short, and mostly in the Welsh tongue. Her labours were received in love. She departed this life sixth month 1st, 1761, in the 83rd year of her age, and was buried at Plymouth (Reporting the memorial drawn by the direction of the Plymouth monthly Meetings)"

Sarah Morgan, daughter of Cadwallader Morgan of Merion married Robert Evans, son of Thomas of Gwynedd on 4th mo. 4, 1705 at Merion MH. "Robert Evans, Of Merion, son of Thomas, b. in Merionethshire Wales, lived for some time in Gwynedd, moved to Merion, and d. there late in 1753 or early in 1754, "aged about 80." In June, 1705, his father conveyed him 298 acres in Gwynedd (part of his tract, and apparently the part adjoining Montgomery), which subsequently he sold to his brother Hugh. In these and other conveyances he is called "eldest son and heir, and "son and heir apparent" of Thomas, and in the latter deed (conveying to Hugh) the recital, after stating his purchase from his father in 1705, says he "built a messuage and other edifices, and made a plantation and other improvements" on the tract. In 1705 he is recorded as "of Gwynedd, yeoman". In 1709, however, in a conveyance from his father, he is described as "of Merion," so that apparently he moved there between 1705 and 1709. He appears to have been twice married. First to Jane __; and second, to Sarah Evans, of Merion, 4th mo. 4, 1705 (Haverford records). His will dated May 1, 1753 was proved 22 Jan 1754; he mentions his daughter Catharine Evans, his daughters Anne Tillbury and Jane Roberts, his son Cadwalader, his grandsons Robert Evans and Amos Roberts, and his granddaughters Sarah and Catharine Evans, daughters of Thomas. He appoints his oldest son Thomas Evans executor, and leaves him the farm he now lives on, in Merion, 315 acres. He appoints his brother Hugh and his friend Robert Roberts, "both of Merion," and his brother Owen, of Gwynedd, overseers."
