The descendants of Samuel Morgan originate in larger Gloucester County which over the years shrank to what it is today. The descriptions by early historians what the first settlers found here are magnificent and startling. From Raccoon Creek to "Makles" Creek, now known as Mantua Creek--which is the land in this precise area--we are told that tobacco grew luxuriously. There were great quantities of walnuts, chestnuts, peaches, cypresses, mulberries, fish trees, and many other rare trees. John Fenwick left England in 1675 before the division of East and West Jersey occurred, sailing on the ship Griffith with a group of Quakers who settled at Salem Co. . William Penn did not leave England until seven years later.

     In 1677 and 1678 five other vessels with 800 emigrants, mostly Quakers, arrived. A large number disembarked at Raccoon Creek near Swedesboro and others proceeded farther north and settled at Burlington, originally called Beverly, then Budlington, and finally Burlington. Friends Meetings were held in Burlington in 1677 in tents. A Quaker Meeting House was built in Salem in 1680, and in Burlington in 1682. At this point proprietary interests in West Jersey were to a large extent in Quaker hands.

     The type of government which developed in all of New Jersey was extremely liberal. In fact it was considered later by the Crown of England to be revolutionary. The capital of West Jersey was fixed at Burlington, and an Assembly was convened there in 1681. These early New Jersey colonial governments, asserted, 100 years before the American Revolution, substantially the same principle of sovereignty of the people themselves, which was later set forth in the Declaration of Independence.

     Gloucester County for many years extended entirely across the State and included all of Atlantic County and all of Camden County. The territory now in Atlantic County was not separated from Gloucester County until 1837 which was 151 years after the founding of Gloucester County. Camden County was not created until 1844.See-

Camden, Swedesboro, Evesham Mount, Mount Holly, Woodbury, and Salem are just a few of the South Jersey towns that were stops on the Underground Railroad in the 1860s. On their way to freedom, slaves passed through these towns on their way from Philadelphia to New York.

New Jersey was intimately associated with Philadelphia and the adjoining section in the underground system, and afforded at least three important outlets for runaways from the territory west of the Delaware River. Our knowledge of these outlets is derived solely from the testimony of the Rev. Thomas Clement Oliver, who, like his father, traveled the New Jersey routes many times as a guide and conductor.

The third route was called, from its initial station, the Greenwich line. This station is vividly described as having been made up of a circle of Quaker residences enclosing a swampy place that swarmed with blacks. One may surmise that it made a model station. Slaves were transported at night across the Delaware River from the vicinity of Dover, in boats marked by a yellow light hung below a blue one, and were met some distance out from the Jersey shore by boats showing the same lights. Landed at Greenwich, the fugitives were conducted north twenty-five miles to Swedesboro, and thence about the same distance to Evesham Mount. From this point they were taken to Mount Holly, and so into the northern or Philadelphia route.

This is version 7 of George Morgan Descendants. This month I have added information from death certificates from NJ archives which was obtained for me by Eugene Wills of NJ. Please destroy the Word doc from last month, as you promised to do upon receiving this new one. As I do have corrections as usual. This is not an all inclusive work. There are many names who are not here and additions and corrections are most welcome. There are probably hundreds of Morgans whose names have been forgotten and I delight to find new onew which can find a place here.

This paper started with a basic small outline from Leslie Karpolorich which I found on the internet. I try to support the information and I add children thru census material and other data. When evidence indicates otherwise, I state it.



My paper has become 10 times the original size by adding historical information, census data-especially from 1880, names of other children, will information, emails with Bible information, marriage data from Glouceter Historical Society, internet sites and my own comments. Some of the descendancy is incorrect and I say so, but leave it in. A group of Morgans I have added to the 3rd generation, but I am not sure of the parentage. That is Philip and Abigail Morgan and their possible children.

This is a paper I am working on and is by no means without mistakes. Sometimes I make stupid mistakes, so do not be afraid to write me . If you have other information, please inform me. I have added my own Morgans at the bottom without knowing where or if they fit in to the George Morgan descendancy, but my great grandfather was called (Sidney) George Morgan and according to my great Anna Franklin Morgan, was related to Captain George C. Morgan of Mantua-maybe a cousin in some way.

Last month I corrected Peter Morgan (he had only one marriage, not two), due to an email from a descendant of Peter Jessup Morgan whose parentage I do not know at this time. I read once that a wagon train of Morgan related families left PA/NJ in 1837 and headed west. His son Thomas Cheesman Morgan was born in Millville, Gloucester, NJ 8 March 1837, so the wagon train must have left after that date. His younger brothers and sisters are born after that between Illinois and Iowa, and Peter Jessup Morgan himself dies in Nebraska. Some of his children die in Oregon. The LDS info for this family is near the end of this paper.
