We both descend from immigrant miles Morgan of Springfield , MA. and his first wife Prudence Gilbert. Others like J.P. Morgan descend from Miles Morgan and his second wife through their only child Nathaniel Morgan. I found this line by accident while commenting on Gideon Morgan and his son Gideon Rufus Morgan. The original profile for Gideon had him connected to the wrong parents. I found interesting things in their stories and continued to follow later generations. There are even more interesting stories and connections to our American history in this line.
