He commenced business as a merchant at the place now known as Christiana ... Whether by design or through indifference to ancestral lore, the latter being a well known family trait, Col. Morgan Morgan, who was well educated for his time and destined to take an active part in the early life of Colonial America, left no record, official or otherwise, so far as is known, which has been preserved or remembered by any of his many descendants, of his connection in his native Wales with the old Glamorganshire family there of the same name, which reaches back of things Anglo-Saxon into the days of the Ancient Celts." 

Col. Morgan Morgan was married to Catherine Garretson in 1713 or 1714 in Christiana, New Castle, DE. He was buried at Morgan Chapel, Frederick County, VA. New DNA files prove some of his descendants and their locations.

Morgan was born in Wales and is often said to have arrived at present-day West Virginia in 1727, though he was living in Delaware at that time, acting as the coroner of New Castle County.  He is said to have been an ordained clergyman but there is no evidence to support this. However, Morgan did help in the establishment of West Virginia's first church. He died at Bunker Hill, Berkeley Co., (West) Virginia.
