I am wondering who the William Morgan was that passed on the inheritance of Tredegar house to Miles Morgan mentioned in the biography? Was it the brother of Thomas Morgan or a different William Morgan? I believe it was mentioned in one of the older publications that this Miles Morgan was a cousin who perished with no heirs. Tredegar House then went to his cousin. This was at least two or three generations before Miles Morgan who went to Springfield, MA. There was speculation that he was named after the earlier Miles Morgan. Now having been removed from those earlier claimed parents no obvious connection is known.

I think a different William Morgan. I'm working on a timeline for Tredegar House (see Space: Tredegar House, Newport, Wales, UK.

Re: Morgan-901 and Morgan-21065

I am a descendent of Thomas Morgan (Morgan-901) and Elizabeth Bodenham (Bodenham-2), through Miles S. Morgan (Morgan-290) of Springfield, Massachusetts. Among their listed children, are two Blanche's: Blanche Morgan Lewis (Morgan-1313), and Blanche Morgan Kemys (Morgan-1338).

In the recent Connections of the Week on 6 Jan 2021, the connections to Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr were listed. One of his ancestors is evidently Blanche Morgan Kemys (Morgan-1338).

In the listing for Morgan-1338, she is identified as the daughter of Thomas Morgan (Morgan-21065) and Catherine Herbert (Herbert-118). I can find no connection between Catherine Herbert (Herbert-118), and Thomas Morgan (Morgan-901).

So, either the father listed on the page for Blanche Morgan Kemys (Morgan-1338) is incorrect, or her listing as his and Bodenham-2's daughter on the Morgan-901 page is incorrect.

Can someone please work to correct these mismatches.

Morgan-5856 and Morgan-901 appear to represent the same person because: They have the same siblings and locations of birth & death. These are clearly duplicates.

Morgan-5856 and Morgan-901 do not represent the same person because: Too different

Morgan-5856 and Morgan-901 appear to represent the same person because: Rowland Morgan had only one son named Thomas, these two profiles represent the same person, please merge. thanks
I wonder the same thing as Liz

Morgan-19924 and Morgan-901 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth and death years, same places. Same wife's name. These profiles are duplicates, please merge them.
posted by John Atkinson
Morgan-901 and Morgan-5856 are not ready to be merged because: While the parents & siblings appear to be the same for Morgan-901 & -5856, their birthdates are 13 years apart and their dates of death are 16 years different and the places of death are different. Further research or sources are needed to be merged.

Sheldon, what was the error and can it be corrected by editing -5856 rather than continuing the error by merging?
posted on Morgan-5856 (merged) by Jack Wise
Morgan-901 and Morgan-5856 appear to represent the same person because: I believe that I have propagated an error from the Ancestry.com when I created Morgan-5856. The best solution appears to delete him or merge him into Morgan-901.

John - could you check your sources for parents & date of birth? they're not both correct - Blanche & Roland had a son Thomas, but other sources show he was born 1534. A Thomas Morgan born 1520 would probably be someone else's (Roland was born in 1508 & Blanche in 1512 according to the info in their profiles, and the rest of the info works - just not son Thomas b 1520). Thanks! Liz

Morgan-1315 and Morgan-901 appear to represent the same person because: They have the same wife and the same name and going by the age of Morgan-1315's daughter's husband, they lived in the same era.
Morgan-4761 and Morgan-3137 do not represent the same person because: Thomas-4761 born 1560 has brother Thomas born 1569.

Thomas-3137 born 1569 has brother Thomas born 1560.
