According to Geni Sir John Morgan was my 13th great grandfather

[@oceanrock733]

I am directly descended from Sir Rowland Morgan of Machen and Tredegar, b. 1508, who wed Lady Blanch Thomas. My line goes down to William Morgan Sr., Sir William Morgan, Baron of Tredegar, William Morgan, James Morgan who emigrated to American and settled in Groton, Connecticut, in the early 1600s.

I'm a Morgan too - I actually find this really distasteful,you're acting as if we're somehow elevated above others,be honest we're eccentric,egotistic and rather pompous - we are utterly weird and odd.
