Sir William Thomas Morgan

biography.wales/article/s-MORG-LLA-1561

--------------------------------

• The Welsh Biographies Online-Morgan of Llantarnam article notes that an heir of Edward Morgan (it does not say it is a son of Edward) was named Thomas Morgan who married Frances, daughter of Edward Somerset, 4th Earl of Worcester. That article also notes that Edward, the 1st Baronet of Llantarnam, was the son of Thomas Morgan and Frances, daughter of the 4th Earl of Worcester.
• A variety of articles online (including Wikipedia and Burke's baronetcies) state that Frances' husband was a William Morgan (rather than Thomas); however, none provide evidence supporting that statement. Burke indicates this husband of Frances is an 'esq.', not a baronet.
• Thomas & Frances' son Edward was the 1st Baronet of Llantarnam (albeit briefly); other biographers have 'conflated' the owners of the property of Llantarnam Abbey with also being a "Sir" or "Baronet".

• Sir Edward Morgan, 1st Baronet of Llantarnam (died 24 June 1653) was a Roman Catholic supporter of Charles I during the Bishops' War and the English Civil War. Charles created him a baronet in recognition of his services, but his capture during the English Civil War led to his estate being sequestered.
• Morgan was one of the Morgan family of Llantarnam in Monmouthshire, Wales, an established Roman Catholic family: his great-grandfather William Morgan was a MP in the reigns not only of the Catholic Queen Mary but also of the Protestant Queen Elizabeth, and allowed his house to be used for the celebration of mass. Morgan's parents were Thomas Morgan and Frances, daughter of Edward Somerset, 4th Earl of Worcester, and both supported Catholic activities in Wales. He was educated at Jesus College, Oxford, matriculating in 1616 and obtaining his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1619. He was involved in the Welsh Jesuit headquarters being set up in 1635 in Cwm, Herefordshire. He was commissioned in the second Bishops' War in 1640 and given permission to obtain contributions from fellow-Catholics. This caused controversy in the Long Parliament, and Charles I's reaction was to make Morgan a Baronet in 1642; he later renewed Morgan's commission during the English Civil War. Morgan was captured at Hereford on 18 December 1645. The Rump Parliament removed his baronetcy and his estate was sequestered. He died on 24 June 1653; it was not until 9 November 1654 that his estate was discharged. His heir, Sir Edward Morgan Jr., 2nd Baronet of Llantarnam, became a Protestant. The Baronet title fell to his son Sir Edward Morgan III., 3rd Baronet of Llantarnam until his death, he was without male heirs and the Baronet title then went to his uncle: Sir James Morgan., 4th Baronet of Llantarnam, James was the younger son of Sir Edward Morgan., 1st Baronet of Llantarnam and was the last Baronet of Llantarnam, as his surviving heirs immigrated to America.[1]
