    ... John Morgan, the eldest of his [William Morgan's] younger brothers, was almost certainly the man of that name who was mayor of Caerleon in 1533 and gave his age at the time as fifty six. (23) ...

    ... The foregoing comments on John Morgan of Tredegar may help to dispel the confusion between his career and that of John Morgan of Caerleon, the eldest of Sir William Morgan's brothers, which occurs in G. Blacker Morgan's work on the Morgan family and in the History of Parliament article concerning the latter's son, William Morgan (d. 1582) of Llantarnam. (108) John Morgan of Caerleon appears as keeper of Caerleon park in 1502 and received a royal grant of that office, during pleasure, in 1509. (109) He continued to hold it until August 1532, when he surrended his patent. (110) In January 1535 he was appointed with his brother, Sir William, and many others to the commission to assess the value of the ecclesiastical benefices in the diocese of llandaff. (111) In a deposition on 18 Nov 1533 relating to the Newport affrays earlier that year he gave his age as fifty-six, and since the latest references to him appears to be in a deed of 17 May 1535 it seems likely that he predeceased his eldest brother.
