• 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.
• It has been heretofore supposed, by myself as well as others, that James Morgan was one of the party of emigrants called the "Cape Ann Company," who came ....

• Lieut. JOSEPH, (5) b. 29 Nov. 1646, s. of James, m. Dorothy, dau. of Thomas Parke, of Wethersfield, April, 1670, settled in (now) Preston, and lived there until his death, 5 April, 1704, aged 58. The farm he owned and occupied, and upon which his descendants lived after him, is now owned and occupied by Albert G. Ayres, Esq., whose mother, Abby, was a dau. of Daniel Morgan, (313.) He was among the first settlers of Preston, then a part of Norwich, and in 1686, was one of the petitioners for its separation as a town. It was set off from Norwich Jan. 1687, and that year Owaneco, Indian sachem, executed to him and others a quit-claim deed of all the town territory. This male line is probably extinct ; — see further account of his son, Rev. Joseph.

She was the mother of a successive line of three generations of Doctors of the Perkins name, of marked ability and eminence in their profession. Doct. Elisha Perkins, of New London, afterwards of New York, the inventor of the celebrated " Metallic Tractors," which for a time made so much noise in the medical world, as a remedial agent and cure for diseases, was one of her descendants. The "war of the doctors" about the merits of this invention, was exceedingly fierce and sharp, at home and in Europe, and gave birth to "Terrible Tractoration ; a Poetical Petition, by Christopher Caustic," published in London ; one of the keenest and wittiest brochures of poetical satire in the English language. ______________________________
