According to extract from "A History of the Morgan Family from the Year 1089 To the Present Times" by James Appleton Morgan (New York 18997-1902, "Edward Morgan sailed for America with his older sister, another Sarah who had married a Baptist, Stephen Bazelee (or Beasley). Edward became a Quaker, presumably on arrival in America since the Morgans of Llantarnam were well known to be Catholics and had suffered financial penalties at the hands of an English Parliament which regard Catholics as threatening the security of the state."EDWARD MORGAN m.
