Benjamin Morgan

• (ISSUES WITH DATES OF BENJAMIN MORGAN & HIS CHILDREN) - His birth date does not 'fit' between the other children of John & Rachel Morgan. Further, there may be another Benjamin Morgan (Benjamin Rose Morgan) of Massachusetts with the same spouse & children.

If this is Benjamin Rose, his parents would be Richard Rose Morgan-1640 and Hopestill Merrick.
