Morgan Dee

Alas, the family web trees are full of unsourced relationships for Morgan Dee. There is no evidence as to whom his father was; nor is there evidence as to whom his wife was. If indeed reliable sources appear, please contact the curator.

In the meantime, the evidence for the existence of Morgan Dee comes from a book published in 1903, concerning the lineages of settlers in Wyndham, Connecticut: http://www.ctgenweb.org/county/cowindham/records/biographies/com_bi...

The salient part is as follows:

"DAY. The Days, to whom Miss Louisa E. Day of Thompson, Windham county, belongs is an old family of the town of Killingly. It has been handed down by tradition that the family originally came from Wales, which is undoubtedly correct. In a book of Heraldry containing Arms of William Day, B.D. Provost of Eton College, and Dean of Windsor, confirmed by William Flower, Norroy, on Oct. 21, 1582, in the twenty-fourth year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, he is said to be descended from the Dees of Wales, being a younger son of Richard Day, who was a son of Nicholas Day, son of John Dee (called in English Daye), son of Morgan Dee, a Welshman. Dee signifies, it is said, dark or dingy, and was the name of a small river in Wales, and was applied to some ancestor living on its banks. In time the name Dee came to be written as it sounded, Daye or Day."
