MR. MORGAN killed by the "magic powers" of one Jack-of-the-Feather (an Indian otherwise known as Nemattanew) in early 1622. Two of Morgan's servants killed him soon thereafter, an incident some blamed for sparking the Powhatan attack of 22 March 1622.
ANN MORGAN a wench sentenced to transportation to the colony by the justices of Brideswell, 27 February 1619.
EDWARD MORGAN came aboard the ship Providence in 1623. He was living at Elizabeth City, 16 February 1624, and at Newport News, 7 February 1625. At the latter place, he was described as the 22-year-old servant of Daniel Gookin.
JOAN MORGAN, a vagrant from Lombard Street, was sentenced to transportation to the colony by the justices of Brideswell, 8 August 1618.
JOHN MORGAN joined a trading expedition with the Accomac and Acohanock in 1620. He was probably the same headwright mentioned in a patent recorded by one John Parrott, 29 March 1635.
ROBERT MORGAN came aboard the ship Flying Hart in 1621. He died at Elizabeth City between April 1623 and 16 February 1624. He is probably the headright mentioned in a patent recorded by John Sipsey, 2 September 1624.
SIBYL MORGAN, wife of William Morgan (alias Brookes, alias Jones) below, lived with her husband at Elizabeth City, 16 February 1624. She died there and was buried 18 July 1624, survived by a 2-year-old son: William Morgan, Jr.
THOMAS MORGAN held 150 acres of land in Henrico on the lower side of the James River, east of the falls, in May 1625.
WILLIAM MORGAN, an ancient planter, arrived on the ship Starr in 1610. For unknown reasons, he repeatedly changed his surname, sometimes using Brookes and other times Jones. As Brookes, he was listed as a resident of Elizabeth City, 16 February 1624. In early 1625, he was identified as a 30-year-old widower using the Morgan surname. In May of that year, again as Morgan, he was credited with 100 acres of planted land in Elizabeth City. He is referred to in others' patents by various names and was last identified in a patent of his own in August 1642 as William Morgan alias Brookes alias Jones. There is nothing in the surviving records to explain the name changes.
