Hello Sue,
I don't know that you are connected to the family. My Richard
MORGAN son of Richard MORGAN, mother not listed in the Trevethin
Parish register, was born in Trevethin in 1803. He still lived
there when he married my Margaret Bevan in July of 1833.
The two MORGAN family members that I have listed as born in
Blaenavon, would be Richard and Margaret's grandsons. They were
born in the 1875-1880 range. While it is possible that there
was a connection between our Morgan families, I don't know what
it could be.
One interesting thing is that when William Isaac Morgan came to
the US in the mid 1870's, he went to Ohio. He is there in the
Cleveland area in 1880, along with wife, step daughter, and
sister Leah Morgan. When did your family arrive in Ohio? I am
wondering if William went there because he had family in Ohio.
William soon moved to NY, first Brooklyn then Seaford, Long
Island. According to POB of children on the 1900 census, he was
in NY by 1884.
Sorry that I can't give you any more to go on. Morgan is just
such a common name.
