This Morgan Family website is dedicated to Thomas Morgan. It will focus on Thomas Morgan, his wives and children, and on William Morgan, son of Thomas Morgan and Ann Watkins. The goal is to present a definitive, well researched and documented life history of Thomas Morgan. And to fill it out with pictures and life sketches for all the children of Thomas Morgan and Ann Watkins, all the children of Thomas Morgan and Nancy Jane Radford, and all the children of William Morgan and Lovina Ross Morgan. Others who were closely associated with Thomas Morgan will be included, such as his wives with whom he did not have children, Frank Ryset who was Nancy Jane Radford's son by her first marriage and literally became part of Thomas's family, John Whitlock Radford whose children married into the Morgan family, and others who played a part in the life of Thomas Morgan and his families. It will gradually expand as pictures and life sketches of these families are located.
Each generation built upon the last. By the fourth generation, many were attending college and taking advantage of the growing opportunities in America. This is the legacy of strong, principled people—and it’s something we are proud to be a part of.
The story of Thomas Morgan and John Whitlock Radford is one of true pioneering spirit: difficult decisions, perilous sea voyages, grueling wagon train journeys, and heartbreaking personal losses. Their efforts laid the foundation for the life we enjoy today.
Thomas Morgan’s family was among the first of our pioneers in America. Let us honor their courage and the world they built for us.
This Morgan Family Pioneer Heritage website is a collaborative project made possible by many extended family members—researchers, writers, historians, and contributors of photos and stories—working together to preserve and share our rich family history.

With Deep Appreciation and Gratitute to Our Family Historians

Many people have contributed to this Morgan Family website, and we appreciate every one of them. Their contributions are invaluable; this family website simply could not exist in its present form without their dedication. Bringing descendants of the various Thomas Morgan families together to build a comprehensive family history on the World Wide Web has been a deeply rewarding experience.

Our deepest gratitude goes out to the foundational pillars of this project:

• Mary Morgan spent much of her life collecting family pictures and memorabilia, famously sharing the stories behind the faces in her big box of photos.

  Following her passing in 1999, James Morgan recognized the immense value of this collection and began the massive undertaking of scanning and retouching the images. This archive of historic Morgan family pictures ultimately became the bedrock for this website.

There are also many other Morgan and Radford family life histories on this website that were researched and written by Leon.
