MORGAN FAMILY TREE BREAKDOWN

Here is a breakdown of the family tree I was able to find on Ancestry.com and at the MN History Center. This is a list that follows the Morgan name. Ancestors are listed from most recent at the top, and as your scroll down sequentially go to oldest. 
                  As of 12/19/21 I was able to discover two further back generations, and was able to discover our first American relative, Edward Morgan, thanks to the WikiTree site. I also found out that Andrew's daughter is the mother of THE Daniel Boone, American frontiersman. Edward's cabin in Pennsylvania still stands today, there is a link in his description below.
