Name:
James Morgan, the emigrant ancestor and progenitor of the Morgan family, was born in Wales in 1607. He m. Margery Hill of Roxbury, Mass., Aug. 6, 1640. He was made freeman there, May 10, 1645. Early in 1650 he had lands granted him in Pequot, now New London, as New London records show which was soon occupied by him as a homestead, 'on the path to New street or Cape Ann street,' as it was called in honor of the Cape Ann Company, who chiefly settled there. On the 25th day of December 1656, he sold his homestead and removed soon after, with several others, across the river, upon large tracts of land previously granted them by the town. The spot where he built his first house in Groton in 1657, and where he ever resided and died, is a few rods southeast of the dwelling of Elijah S. Morgan, about three miles from Groton ferry, on the road to Poquonock Bridge. He was nine times afterwards chosen member of the assembly, the last in 1670, and he was also an active and useful member of Re. Richard Blinman's church, as his name is prominent in every important movement or proceeding.

He also served in he early Colonial wars.
