It is certain that he drew a house lot and afterwards built upon it ; and it was the homestead of himself during his life, and of his descendants for many years after. It was situated upon the south side of "Ferry Lane," and in 1845 was sold by the Brewer family to the Conn.

James Morgan settled first in Plymouth,then moved to Roxbury before 1640; lands were granted to him at Pequot in 1650. John Morgan was a high churchman and disliked the austerity of the Puritans. He moved to Virginia.Miles Morgan moved to Springfield, MA, and became the progenitor of the Morgan family represented by J. P. Morgan of Morgan and Company, International Bankers.The eldest brother, and our lineal ancestor, may have settled first at Plymouth. He is found at Roxbury near Boston, before 1640. That year, August 6, 1640, he married there Margery Hill of Roxbury. He was made a freeman there May 10, 1643. He is named as a resident there in the inventory of John Graves, 1646, and was a freeholder there a slave as 1650, the same year that he removed to Pequot (now New London) and had a house lot assigned him there. Early in 1650 he had land granted to him at Pequot which was occupied by him as a homestead "On the path of New Street" (now Ashcraft Street) and a further entry upon the records shows that " James Morgan hath given him about six acres of upland, where the wigwams were, in the path that goes from his house towards Culvers' among the rocky hills." These tracts were located near the present third burial ground, in the western suburbs of the city of New London: a location sterile and dreary and which in a few years was abandoned by its occupants for homes and broader lands of fairer promise on the east side of the River Thames. He continued to occupy this homestead on the path to New Street or "Cape Ann Lane" as it was called in honor of the Cape Ann Company who settled there until about March 1657.cember 1656 he sold his homestead and removed soon after, with several others, across the river on large tracts of land previously granted them by the town, upon the east side, now the south part of Groton. James Avery, William Meades and Nehemiah and John Smith, who also had grants of land adjoining to him, were among the first settlers,and the earliest resident farmers upon the east side, now Groton. Grants of land had been made from time to time after 1652-53 by the colony of Pequot, with a liberal hand, upon the east side of the river, comprising the fertile regions of what is now the southern part of Groton, and these lands were soon after occupied generally by the several proprietors. It was upon the east side of the River Thames that James Morgan settled, and in a rude log cabin with his family consisting of wife and three sons and a daughter; and this territory, made the separate town of Groton May 1705, and again divided by setting off the town of Ledyard in 1836, has been and still remains the prolific hive of our name and family.ng highways, determining boundaries, adjusting civil difficulties,as a good neighbor and a Christian man, in whom all appear to have reposed a marked degree of confidence and trust. He was one of the "townsmen" or selectmen of New London for several years, and was one of the first "Deputies" sent from New London Plantations to the General Court at Hartford, May session 1657(at which date he deposed his age to be about 50 years) and was nine times afterwards chosen a member of that grave and important assembly, the last time in1670. His associates and compeers composing the General Court or Colonial Assembly in May 1657, when he was first chosen, were Governor John Winthrop, John Mason, Jonathan Brewster, Thomas Welles, etc. To this carefully selected body of men was in trusted the whole sovereign power of the colony, and the administration of its government, in original jurisprudence and the most trifling as well as most henious offenses and causes of action, and the minutest details in every department.e General Court and the New London Plantation about boundaries and jurisdiction, it was ordered that the matter that should be submitted to three arbiters, mutually agreed upon, New London at once named their own townsman, James Morgan, really party in their own interest, but nevertheless the General Court as promptly accepted him, and without naming another, agreed to submit to his sole decision, which when made, seems to have satisfied all parties. or proceeding."James Morgan, Mr. Tinker and Obadiah Brown, are chosen to seat the people in the meeting house, which they doing, the inhabitants are to remain silent." This was considered a difficult task, as the seating determined the social standing of all the people.(Minutes from the record.) In 1661 he was one of a committee of the General Court to lay out the bounds of New London "On the east side of the Great River."In 1662 he was one of a committee to contract " for building a house for the ministry" at New London.From about this time he signs his name "James Morgan, Senior, of New London," his eldest son, afterwards Capt. James Morgan, being then near twenty-one years of age. This year, 1662, his list on the the town assessment stands the third highest in amount; and among the tax-payers of that year, about one hundred in number, only seven had a list exceeding 200#. James Morgan's list was only 250#, but this was a large estate in those primitive days. The spot where he first built his house in Groton in 1657, and where he ever afterwards resided, and where he died, is a few rods southeast of the present dwelling (1868) of Elijah S. Morgan, about three miles from Groton Ferry, on the road to Poquonoc Bridge and this patriarchal homestead from that day down to the present occupant has descended through an unbroken line of James Morgans, for six generations. And it is worthy of note, in connection with this fact, that for eight generations as they hereinafter succeed each other, in regular order of individual precedence, each one is headed by the name of James Morgan. He died 1685, aged 78 years and his estate was divided soon after his death among his four surviving children.ristol, on the opposite side of Bristolchannel, prior to 1636. There is a tradition that his father's name was William. In March, 1636, he sailed from Bristol, accompanied by two younger brothers, John and Miles, and arrived in Boston, Mass. the following month. John Morgan was a high churchman, and soon parted from the austere Puritans and made his home in Virginia. It is supposed that James Morgan lived for a time at Plymouth, but this cannot be proven. He was in Roxbury before 1640, and was made freeman there May 10, 1643. He appears there in 1646, and was a freeholder as late as 1650, the same year in which he removed to Pequot, now New London, Connecticut, and had a house lot assigned to him there. The records of that town show that lands for cultivation were granted him early in that year, and were soon occupied by him. His homestead was on the "new street," now Ashcroft street, and a subsequent entry shows that "James Morgan hath given him about six acres of upland, where the wigwams were, in the path that goes from his house toward Culver's, among the rocky hills." These tracts were located near the present third burial ground, in the western suburbs of New London, a sterile and dreary location which was soon abandoned by its occupants, who made their homes in the more promising district east of the river Thames. James Morgan became a large landed proprietor in that district which has ever since been occupied largely by his progeny.vil difficulties. For several years he served as selectman, and was one of the first deputies sent by New London plantation to the general court at Hartford (May session, 1657), at which time he was fifty years old. An active member of the church, his name is prominent in every movement of that body. "James Morgan, Mr. Tinker and Obadiah Brown are chosen to seat the people in the meeting house, which they doing, the inhabitants are to rest silent."
