Capt. James Morgan

James Morgan, the fourth townsman, was the second of the name, being the son of James Morgan, one of the first settlers. He lived on the farm inherited from his father, just west of Pequonnoc Bridge. He was one of the first two deacons of the first church in Groton, was a magistrate, and acted as moderator of the first town meeting after the incorporation of the town. He served as captain of a train band and as deputy to the General Court from New London before the separation, and was one of the first deputies from the new town of Groton in 1706. For several years he was a commissioner to advise and direct the Pequot Indians in the management of their affairs.

• JAMES MORGAN, the common ancestor of a numerous family now scattered widely over nearly or quite, every state and territory of the United States, was born in Wales, in 1607, but in what precise locality our honest progenitor first saw the light is uncertain, though probably in Llandaff, Glamorgan Co. The family appears to have removed from Llandaff to Bristol, Eng. on the opposite side of Bristol Channel, a short time at least, perhaps a few years, prior to 1636. The name of his father is unknown, but there is some traditionary evidence that it was William.*
• That year, 1636, in the month of March, he and two younger brothers, John and Miles, sailed from Bristol and arrived at Boston, Mass. in April following.
• JOHN MORGAN, his next younger brother, who from tradition appears to have been a high churchman and to have exceedingly disliked the austerity of the Puritans, left Boston in disgust for more congenial society in Virginia, soon after their arrival. How far the Morgans of Virginia are descended from him I am unable to say.
• MILES MORGAN, the youngest brother, born in 1615, on his arrival at Boston, or soon after, joined a party of emigrants, mostly from Roxbury, of whom Col. Wm Pyncheon was at the head, and founded the settlement of Springfield, Mass.

• He is said to have been under 21 years of age at the commencement of this settlement, and to have suppressed the fact of his minority in order to share in the drawing for house lots, which minors were not privileged to do. It is certain that he drew a house lot and afterwards built upon it ; and it was the homestead of himself during his life, and of his descendants for many years after. It was situated upon the south side of "Ferry Lane," and in 1845 was sold by the Brewer family to the Conn. River Railroad Co. ; their tracks now covering the original lot, and their repair shop standing upon the site of the old Morgan homestead.
• He married, about 1643, Prudence Gilbert, of Beverly, Mass., who was a fellow passenger with him in the voyage from England. Of this courtship and marriage, an interesting and curious account is preserved. He had 8 children by this marriage, 4 sons and 4 daughters ; and his wife, Prudence, dying 14 Nov. 1660, he next married Elizabeth Bliss, of Springfield, 15 Feb. 1670, dau. of Thomas, by whom he had 1 son only. His children by Prudence were, Mary, b. 14 Dec. 1644; Jonathan, 16 Sept. 1646; David, 23 July, 1648; Pelatiah, 17 May, 1650; Isaac, 17 March, 1652; Lydia, 8 Feb. 1654; Hannah, 11 Feb. 1656; Mercy, 18 May, 1658 ; and by 2d wife, Nathaniel, 14 June, 1671.

• JAMES MORGAN, the elder brother, and our lineal ancestor, may have settled first at Plymouth ....
• Wherever he settled at first, he is found in Roxbury, near Boston, before 1640. That year, Aug. 6, 1640, he married there, Margery Hill, of Roxbury. His eldest daughter, Hannah, was born there 18 May, 1642, and all his 5 other children, except perhaps the youngest, who d. in infancy, were also probably born there. He was made a freeman there 10 May, 1643. He is named as a resident there in the inventory of John Graves, 1646, and was a freeholder there as late as 1650, the same year that he removed to Pequot, (now N. London,) and had a houselot assigned him there.

"(Captain) James Morgan III was an active member & one of the two first deacons of the first church in Groton; was the principal magistrate, & transacted the chief part of the civil business around him, for many years. At the first town meeting held after the town was incorporated, in Dec. 1705, he was the moderator & was chosen first townsman or selectman. He was moderator of nearly every town or society meeting until near his death in 1711 & after that for many years his place as moderator was supplied by his two sons, Deacon James and Lieut. John, sometimes the one acting as moderator & sometimes the other. He was chosen captain of the first " train band" in Groton, in 1692, under an order of the Governor and Council, authorizing a military company to be formed there & had been then two years a captain & commander of the " dragoon" force of New London county, under a special commission from the General Court. Like his father he was one of the Deputies to the General Court from New London from 1689 to 1700 & afterwards one of the first Deputies from the new town of Groton, in 1706 & for several years was a Commissioner to advise & direct the Pequot tribe of Indians in the management of their affairs. The military titles of these early days, even down to that of 'ensign", or sergeant, were esteemed as marks of high distinction & from their peculiar importance & the care and caution with which the officers were chosen, very justly so. These infant plantations were surrounded by hostile tribes of Indians, overwhelming in numbers. The colonists' very existence & peace & safety, depended much upon the personal character, the wise sagacity, prudent counsel, conduct & the cool intrepidity of these chosen military guardians. Hence it was the early practice, when the leading officers of these " train bands" were to be chosen, to open the proceedings by solemn proclamation & prayer. Sometimes a special sermon for the occasion was prepared & preached to the company by their minister. Capt. James lived and died upon the old patriarchal homestead of his father, James Morgan II. His will is dated in Groton 25 June, 1708, and approved in probate 22 Jan. 1712. In it, he bequeaths to his "dear & loving wife Hannah Morgan," his "horse & chaise," barn, & orchard by it, & " the lower field this side of the cross fence which joineth south brook," to enjoy during her life. (Note: She had already died before him). To his son James, his "field;" one half the barn & all his land at home, subject to the joint control & use of his widow (Hannah) so long as she(Hannah) so remained. Also to James a lot "in the plain," near the salt marsh, "on the north side of the island." To his son William, "the land he has already a deed of," & 100 acres & one little island in Packanacock plain," that is, my sons Jas and Wm shall have equally." To his " four daughters, Mercy, [one record of birth says "Mary"-not "Mercy"], Hannah, Elizabeth & Jerusha," all his cattle, horses and sheep, to be equally divided between them. To his " grandson James Morgan," his saddle, bridle & short gun & to his "grandson Wm Morgan," his musket. https://archive.org/stream/morgangenealogyh00morg#page/23/mode/1up
