Origins of the Morgan Family
Please note that this page is not on the family James Morgan from Wales. As his daughter Katherine married into the Jelletts, no male line is followed in Ireland so I don't consider them to be Irish.
I have been able to find out little about the Morgans referred to on this page and welcome any information on where they came from and any previous generations not appearing on this page.
The first location I have this Morgan family at is Cork, Co. Cork. There are many Morgans mentioned in various directories from the mid 1700's onwards, but the first reference to a Morgan definitely of this family is of Isaac Morgan, listed as a merchant at Parliament Bridge in Lucas's Cork directory of 1787.
In April 1821 there is a newspaper article with a notification of death for an Isaac Morgan, it reads: 'In Cork, Isaac Morgan, Esq. one of the oldest and most respectable merchants of that city.'
I assume that this Isaac Morgan is the father to the Isaac Morgan listed below and his brother Henry Morgan.
