Research Notes
- Upon the death of his nephew, Sir James Morgan inherited the Baronet title, but not his nephew's estate. His nephew, Sir Edward Morgan considered him "a violent zealot" for the Church of Rome and was careful to provide against his succeeding to the estate. Sir James was the last to hold the Baronet title and Sir Edward's estate went to his own daughter Frances (Morgan) Bray.3

In a section titled The False Royal Descent, Baldwin points out that both the Complete Baronetage (2:171) and Bradney's History of Monmouthshire (vol. 1, part 2:465-67) state that James Morgan, husband of Alice (Hopton) Jones, died without male issue. He goes on to discredit the assertion by James Appleton Morgan that James had two wives, pointing out that his only known wife Alice (widow of Nicholas Jones) was accidentally called Anne (and identified as the widow of Nicholas Jones) in at least one manuscript, which likely led to the error that James had a wife named Anne. While Baldwin doesn't state outright that there is no evidence for James' supposed children Edward (who died in infancy), Sarah, and William (who died young) (as attributed by James Appleton Morgan), he implies that there is none. He concludes this section with the statement "The parentage of Edward Morgan [immigrant to Pennsylvania] remains unknown."
