Thomas Morgan

Thomas Morgan is the patron saint of our Morgan Family in America. He was a diamond in the rough, whose true value was revealed by future generations of his family as they proved their worth when measured against the grinding challenges of frontier America

On this page we present three portraits of Thomas Morgan and links to (1) a comprehensive, well researched and documented history of Thomas Morgan and his families with his wives Ann Ollen Watkins and Nancy Jane Radford, and (2) a research paper that examines the origins of Thomas and Ann Morgan in England.

A History Of Thomas Morgan And His Families

Thomas and Ann Morgan in England

This exquisite old 16 inch by 20 inch portrait of Thomas Morgan was recently discovered in a children's toy closet. Mounted on canvas and a small wood border frame, it appeared to have been enclosed in an ornate outer frame at one time. It was torn and badly damaged. It was flown to New York City (Arriving just in time for the September 11 World Trade Center Attack, which it survived, fortunately) where it was scanned into computers and restored. What you are seeing here is a restored version of perhaps the most important picture in our Morgan Family Heritage: A large portrait of the man who brought the Morgan Family to America.

Name explanation: In many early Morgan Family group sheets Thomas is listed as Thomas William Morgan. However, recent research has not been able to verify that he was ever named William, so we have dropped William from his name. Those of you who have family group sheets using the name William will want to read our research paper titled "Thomas and Ann Morgan in England," which is an examination of Thomas Morgan's origins in Herefordshire. There is a link to this research paper on this page.

(1821-1914)

This portrait of Thomas Morgan was found in a picture collection once owned by Lydia Almeda Morgan Nowlin. It was passed down to her descendants and remains in Canada as of this writing. A number of large portraits of Thomas Morgan are mounted in either oval or rectangular frames and made to hung on the wall, are still in the possession of his descendants. That these relatively expensive pictures were made by his family members, and presumabley hung on the wall of theirs homes, suggests that they held Thomas in high regard.

Picture of Thomas Morgan taken at the Rigby Stake Oldtimers Day event in 1913, just two years before he died. He won this event for so many years he was disqualified to give someone else a chance to win.
