... Alice Hopton Jones was a first cousin of Anne Hopton [1st wife of Sir James Morgan]. Her parents were Sir Edward Hopton of Canon Frome and Deborah Hatton, daughter of Robert Hatton (Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry, 1939, p 2974).
... Alice Hopton Jones has been described as a Protestant and her marriage to Sir James Morgan probably occurred in the Church of England at Abergavenny, from which register the record was abstracted for inclusion in Catholic records, as was his death record(Catholic Record Society Publications, Volume 7, page 228, 1927):
- 1695. Oct. 27. mar. Jacobus Morgan* miles et Barrt. & Alicia Jones
- 1718. Apr. 30. died Sir James Morgan, Baronet.
* Sir James Morgan, of Llantarnam, 4th and last baronet of this old Catholic family. He was the son of Sir Edward Morgan, of Llantarnam, bar., by his wife Mary, daughter to Sir Francis Englefield, of Woolton Bassett, bart. He married Alice, daughter to Sir Edward Hopton, of Canon Frome, co. Hereford, knt., and widow of Nicholas Jones, of Abergavenny, esq. Sir James was a non-juror in 1715, and died 30 April, 1718 (vide Bradney's Monmouthshire, iii, 231).
