Col Morgan Morgan

• Welsh

Morgan (ap) Morgan, was born in Wales c. 1688, educated in London, and emigrated to Christiana, Delaware, in the early part of the 18th century. Morgan Morgan was elected coroner of New Castle County (Delaware) and later magistrate, but relocated at some point to Spottsylvania County, now Berkeley County, West Virginia. There he was commissioned a captain and then major of the Virginia militia, again elected coroner, and served as a gentleman justice of the county with chancery jurisdiction. In the latter capacity, he fostered the creation of the new county of Frederick and established the first county road to be built in what is now West Virginia, running 12 miles from "Morgan's Berkeley Plantation" to Winchester, Virginia, a portion of which still comprises State Route 52. The original Morgan family cemetery, with graves dating to 1741, is still in existence on Morgan Morgan's Berkeley plantation, along with a church known as Morgan's Chapel, dating from 185 1, but no Morgan family homes are known to be standing. - NRHP Registration (George Pinkney Morgan House) 3 March 2003
