There seems to be no evidence these are his parents. Baron Thomas Morgan and Catherine Herbert of Tredegar, Wales did have a son named Robert but that Robert Morgan was a minor when his father Baron Thomas Morgan made his will dated 1624. That implies that the son of Baron Thomas Morgan was born after 1603. We know Robert Morgan of Beverley was born in 1601. So it does not seem possible they are the same person. The Robert Morgan of Tredegar, Wales did not migrate to the New World. As of his latest work published in 2015, Robert Charles Anderson states that his origins are unknown.

Note: The name "Morgan" means "by the sea." King Morgan, of Gla-Morgan, Wales, founded trial by jury in A.D. 725 by saying that, "As Christ and his twelve Apostles so should King and twelve men decide."
