I love Tredegar House it's one of my favourite places in the world! I last visited in 2016 and took my dad, who wasn't sure where we were going as he knew it as "Duffy House". He grew up nearby in the 60s and knew it is as the boarding school it was then lol. I also love how Captain Morgan rum was developed by a pirate cousin. The histories and mysteries of Tredegar are fascinating.
I am directly descended from Sir Rowland Morgan of Machen and Tredegar, b. 1508, and Lady Blanch Thomas. They had William Morgan, Sr. b. 1534, who wed Lady Elizabeth Bodenham. They had Sir William Morgan Baron of Tredegar( born there in 1560), who wed Lady Elizabeth Winter Baroness of Tredegar. They had William Morgan, b. 1582, who wed Elizabeth, b. 1589. They had James Morgan, b. 1607, who emigrated to the American colony of Massachusetts. He wed Margaret Hill of Mass. and settled in Groton, Connecticut where his land was passed down for six generations. This is my Mother's direct line of ancestry. Someday I will visit this beautiful Estate of my ancestors. Thank you from California, USA.
That is lovely! I am trying to trace my Morgan side of the family I am stuck at the moment my 3rd great grandfather name is Mark K. Morgan .. stuck passed him supposedly what I found his father is maybe John Morgan ..my family in recent generations have lived in Alabama ... hopefully one day I'll be able to trace it back to Wales!
