Morgans in Porteynon
Morgan Families in Porteynon, Glamorgan
There were two John Morgan families in Porteynon, one with children born in the 1750’s and one with children born in the 1770’s. I do not think it is the same family. I also think that the John, b. 1756 is too young to be the John who was father to child born in 1771 in the other family.
