Tredegar House

Sir Rowland Morgan[10] was born about 1518 in Machen, Monmouthshire, Wales. He was the father of Thomas Morgan (MP died 1603).[11]Thomas was the eldest son of Sir Rowland Morgan of Machen, Monmouthshire and educated at the Middle Temple. He inherited Tredegar House from his cousin Miles Morgan, who had died at sea after inheriting it from William Morgan.[12][13]Son of Sir Thomas Mathew of Machen, Esquire to King Henry, Morgan, Baron Morgan 1482 - 1538 and Lady Elizabeth Vaughan, Baroness Morgan 1486 - 1525 genealogylegend com/rootspersona-tree/rowland-morgan/ Tredegar House (Welsh: Tŷ Tredegar) is a 17th-century Charles II-era country house mansion in Coedkernew, at the western edge of the city of Newport, Wales. For over five hundred years it was home to the Morgan family, later Lords Tredegar; one of the most powerful and influential families in the area. Described as "The grandest and most exuberant country house" in Monmouthshire and one of the "outstanding houses of the Restoration period in the whole of Britain",[1] the mansion stands in a reduced landscaped garden of 90 acres (0.36 km2) (0.14 of a square mile) forming the non-residential part of Tredegar Park. The property became a Grade I listed building on 3 March 1952[2] and has been under the care of the National Trust since March 2012. The Tredegar Morgans 1402–1951.

Tredegar's name came from Tredegar Fawr, the name of the mansion or seat of the old Morgans, who were descended from Cadifor the Great the son of Collwyn; and the owners of the land upon which Tredegar stands. The earliest record of someone with the name Morgan living at Tredegar is 1402: a Llewellyn Ap Morgan. Tredegar House, set in 90 acres which remains landscaped for ornamental purposes, with less agriculture than in previous centuries, is the finest Restoration house in Wales and for over five hundred years the estate (including Ruperra Castle) was home to the Morgan family, later Lords Tredegar; one of the most powerful and influential families in the area.

For over five hundred years it was home to one of the greatest of Welsh families, the Morgans (the same family as Captain Morgan) – later the Lords Tredegar – until they left in 1951.[14]

Sir Rowland Morgan was born about 1508 in Machen, Gwynilwg, Monmouthshire, Wales. He passed away in 1577.

There is no reason to reject this merge. Please merge. you can remove any bio info from Morgan 23396 at the time of the merge.
Morgan-850 and Morgan-23396 do not represent the same person because: Rowland Machen Tredegar Morgan-850 , created in 2011, is very well documented in a History of the Morgan family and by the sources, especially Douglas, Richardson, Magna Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families, Royal Ancestry series, 2nd edition, 4 Vols. 2011, Vol. IV, page 185, Thomas #15 Elizabeth Vaughn as well as the other sources on this Profile, it needs to be PPP.

Thank you!

Hi profile managers, as per Liz Shifflett's messages on this profile below, it seems that Blanch (Jones) Morgan is the correct wife of Rowland. I'll propose merges of the two other wives into her. If you have any queries, please could you discuss with Liz. Thanks

Morgan-19796 and Morgan-850 appear to represent the same person because: I am reproposing this merge. I take Dona's point that there are discrepancies in the profiles of the son 'Thomas', but those discrepancies should be addressed separately. Thanks for reviewing.
posted by Gillian Thomas
Morgan-19796 and Morgan-850 are not ready to be merged because: The son of Rowland Morgan-19796, Thomas Morgan - Morgan-1239 (1540-1603), birth 1540, conflicts with Morgan-850, son Thomas Morgan - Morgan-5856 (1520-1577), different birth dates of Thomas Morgan on these profiles.

Morgan-19796 and Morgan-850 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth and death details. Same father, same wife. Thanks for reviewing.
