Biography

Reverend Enoch Morgan was born 1676, in Alltgoch, Llanwenog, Cardiganshire, Wales. Enoch was named in a list of sixteen people led by Rev. Thomas Griffith who sailed in June, 1701 from Milford Haven, Wales, aboard the "William and Mary". The group arrived in Philadelphia on the 8th of September, 1701, and settled in Pennepec, PA, but eighteen months later, moved on to New Castle County (now Delaware). When the group moved on to South Carolina in 1731, Enoch remained behind as pastor of the Welsh Tract Church in what is known as the Welsh Neck area. He died on the 20th of March, 1740, at the age of sixty-four and was buried at the Welsh Tract Meeting House on the 25th

From: A Welsh Succession of Primitive Baptist Faith and Practice, by Elder Michael N. Ivey, 1994:

• "The contribution of early Welsh immigrants, to the union of the Separates and Regulars, must be noted. When they came to America, many brought a pure form doctrine, which had been held by Welsh Baptists since antiquity. Their preachers, whether Regular or Separate, in large part,were primitive. In his book, Primitive Baptist History, Elder W. S. Craig provides modest biographies of several of these able ministers of the gospel. While we will not repeat his work, the significance of the labors of such pious evangelicals demands they be identified in this writing.Welsh Baptist notables include; Elders Thomas Griffin, John Miles, Morgan Edwards, Samuel Jones, Abel Morgan, William Davis, Hugh Davis, Davis Evans, Nathaniel Jenkins, Griffith Jones, Caleb Evans, Elias Thomas,Enoch Morgan and many more brethren who preached the pure doctrines of grace in power and demonstration of Spirit of God."

Enoch wrote the Introduction and the Dedication for brother Abel's Welsh Concordance Enoch and Jane Morgan had three children: Esther(born 1706), Enoch (date unknown), and Abel (born 1713). ^[1]
