• Sir Henry Morgan (Harri Morgan in Welsh; ca. 1635 – 25 August 1688) was a Welsh privateer, pirate and admiral of the English Royal Navy[3][4][5] who made a name for himself during activities in the Caribbean, primarily raiding Spanish settlements. He earned a reputation as one of the most notorious and successful privateers in history, and one of the most ruthless among those active along the Spanish Main.
• Henry Morgan was the eldest son of Robert Morgan, a farmer living in caerau (today known as Ely, three miles from Tredegar) in Cardiff,[6] situated on the Ely River, in south-east Wales, within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire. He also had a sister Catherine. An entry in the Bristol Apprentice Books showing "Servants to Foreign Plantations" 9 February 1655, included "Henry Morgan of Abergavenny, Labourer, Bound to Timothy Tounsend of Bristol, Cutler, for three years, to serve in Barbados on the like Condiciouns."
• Henry's father Robert Morgan (born c.1615) was a descendant from a cadet branch of the ‘Tredegar Morgans’ and had two brothers, Thomas and Edward. Major-General Sir Thomas Morgan (1st Baronet 1604-79) served in the Commonwealth forces during English civil war from 1642-9, was Governor of Gloucester 1645, fought in Flanders, wounded, and in 1661 retired to his estate in Kynnersley, Herts. He was married on 10 September 1632, and had nine sons, of whom the eldest, Sir John Morgan followed in his father's profession. Thomas was recalled in 1665 to become Governor of Jersey, and died in St. Helier in April 1679. Colonel Edward Morgan (c. 1616- after 1665) was a Royalist during English Civil War 1642-9, Captain General of the Kings forces in South Wales, escaped to the continent, and married Anna Petronilla the daughter of Baron von Pöllnitz, Westphalia, (governor of Lippstadt, a city 20 miles east of Dortmund Germany). They had six children, two sons, and four daughters (including Anna Petronilla and Johanna). He was appointed Lt-Gov. Jamaica 1664-65.[7]

• became the leader. He increased his command by admitting foreigners of all nationalities, and ultimately, by captures of vessels, became possessed of a formidable fleet, and was able to terrorize the seas in the vicinity. His earliest successes were on the coast of Campeche, but he soon became master of the Spanish main, which, with its shores and territory for miles inland, he laid under contribution. With his fleet he captured all the important seaports, and forced them to become tributary to him, which made him the practical sovereign of the territory. He at one time combined his forces with a still more desperate character named Manswelt (or Mansfield), taking upon himself the title of vice-admiral, and they together captured the island of Santa Catalina, upon the coast of Costa Rica ; advanced upon Cartagena, from which they were obliged, however, to retire without capturing, owing to a quarrel in their own ranks between the English and French buccaneers. Upon Manswelt's death, Morgan assumed the title of admiral, and with his fleet of twelve vessels ravaged Los Cargos and the southern coast of Cuba. Landing, he marched inland, took and ravaged Puerto Principe, took Puerto Bello in New Grenada (1668), carrying by assault its three fortresses, putting the garrisons to the sword, and extorting by torture the wealth of the rich citizens. On payment of an enormous ransom by the governor of Panama, he evacuated the city. Re-inforced by a body of French buccaneers, under Pierre le Picard, Morgan with nine hundred and fifty men, captured Maracaibo, a city of 26,000 inhabitants, in 1669, and evacuated it upon payment of a heavy ransom. On his return he captured an entire Spanish squadron. and reached Jamaica with an enormous booty. In the following year he organized a raid upon Panama, rendezvousing at Cape Tibuion with thirty-seven vessels and three thousand men; appointing, as his second in command, a Frenchman named Bradelet. He captured La Ranchiers near Cartagena; took, for a second time, the island of Santa Catalina, where he found stores of powder, and impressed guides, and assulted

• and carried Fort San Lorenzo, at the mouth of the Chagres River, killing three hundred of its garrison. Here he left all but fifteen hundred of his followers, whom he embarked in canoes, and ascended the Chagres River, fighting Indians and overcoming obstacles, suffering much from hunger, ultimately appearing before Panama, July 26, 1671. He found the city garrisoned with four regiments of regulars,, besides 2,000 Indians and 300 armed citizens, capturing, sacking, and destroying the city. Here, however, his ambition seems to have become sated, and he returned to England with, it is said, some $2,000,000 in gold, the proceeds of his operations. He married Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Charles Morgan, captain in the Royal Navy ; was knighted by James II., (who recognized Morgan's exploits as in furtherance of British dominion in the New World, and, so as patriotic instead of personal ;) was commissioned captain in the Royal Navy, and appointed Governor of Jamaica, dying in that office in 1690. He was also appointed a commissioner of admiralty. He published (London, 1683,) an account of his voyage to Panama, and, dying childless, bequeathed the bulk of his property to the BUNDLESS and ARCHBOLD families, with a legacy to his sister, Mrs. John Lloyd.
