RE: French Morgan, page 94.
Other sources state his birth as 1730.
"In the first census of the U.S., taken in 1790, in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, is found one Henry Morgan with a family of ten children, five boys and five girls, but names are not given.
There is little doubt but that this is our Henry Morgan.Many efforts have been made to locate descendants of this branch of the Family in the Carolinas, but with indifferent results.No doubt many of this family have been contacted, but how are we to know.Several individuals have been interviewed who believe they are of the Henry Morgan clan, being able to trace their line back to Colonial Virginia, there to lose it without being able to connect up with any of the Virginia family of Morgans.The descendants of Henry Morgan constitute the third lost tribe of the Morgan family."
R: French Morgan, pages 94-95.
