At first I made the same mistakes as everyone else. The information about Gen Morgan -who his father? It was not James Morgan of Durham. Also James Morgan of Durham's father was not Edward of Gwynedd who was a Quaker, rather Thomas Morgan and his wife Jennet of Providence, Philadelphia, PA - see evidence below. I have heard from Terry Morgan that this pair Thomas and Jannet Morgan is mentioned in Appletons book.
The incorrect information about James Morgan of Durham and Providence Township, Phil. stems from a book of Bucks county history written in 1876. I am talking about the claim that James of Durham was Daniel's father which was complete misinformation from jumped-to conclusions and hearsay, not based on fact or deed research. The actual correct deed work was done by Warren Ely, an old researcher who found out that Thomas Morgan and Jennet were the parents of James, Ironmonger of Durham. Deeds name all three of them in Providence, Philadelphia. [Now Montgomery Co. PA]
According to 2 independant sources, who are historians in NJ and direct descendants of Isaac Morgan, Daniel's father was probably Isaac Morgan, a charcoal burner, not an ironmonger. Isaac came from Massachusetts. to work along the Musconetcong River which flows into the Delaware River across from the area where Durham Furnace lies. Isaac Morgan came with other families from new England to work in the limestone business, burning charcoal for the extraction, as well as farming on the side. He may even have floated on a barge down to Durham Furnace and may have worked there since there are claims Daniel worked there- he may have known about it from his father.
There is evidence Daniel also spent time in Gloucester Co NJ where other Morgan families lived. George Morgan of Gloucester was born ca 1708. Isaac Morgan of Hunterdon was born about 1706-1708 and this name was also used down in Gloucester NJ.

There are stories started by Appleton that George Morgan 1708 was a son of Edward Morgan. I believe NOT. His sons have no names which match the Edward Morgan line. Also I was of the impression that the George Morgan whose DNA matched that of Randall Morgan had evidence that George was a son of Edward. I was wrong. He has no evidence. He took this from Appleton as far as I can discern.
There are too many accounts that Sarah Morgan Boone was the aunt to General Daniel Morgan to ignore it completely. But did anyone ever think it could be thru a sister who married another Morgan line? The Quakers never approved cousin marriages as in the southern genealogies. After looking thru old census material and early documents on line, I have come to the conclusion that Daniel Morgan was probably born in Hunterdon County NJ as he said on several occasions and that he may or may not have been related to Sarah Morgan Boone. One thing is CERTAIN. More people claimed to be related to him than actually were.
At that time Daniel Morgan was born, Hunterdon NJ was a vast territory including several counties of today. The New Jersey Hist Soc have determined his birth must have been a Lebanon Township near Hampton, Hunterdon Co. -- across the river from Bucks Co. PA. They decided Daniel's father was Isaac Morgan. It has also been determined his parents were poor, and not necessarily Welsh, but at least descended from Welsh. There were lots of charcoal burners in NJ. Today they still exist in Europe, but there are few of them left. A charcoal burner is not the same thing as an iron monger. That is where the confusion may have come in as to who Daniel Morgan's father was. There were probably at the very least least two Morgans at Durham Furnace at the same time because it was a VERY common name. One was James Morgan, Iron Monger, a rather well off fellow, who came from Philadelphia, now Montgomery Co. out of Providence Township in Philadelphia Co.. (Daniel's father was poor). James Morgan, iron monger, owned property in Durham and in Philadelphia (now Montgomery Co. PA).
Warren E. Ely, Doylestown, Bucks Co PA saying on the subject of James Morgan of Durham Furnace:
"Deeds of record in Philadelphia for land in Providence township, Philadelphia county, now Montgomery, prove conclusively that James Morgan, of Durham, Ironmaster, was the son of Thomas and Jennet Morgan, of Providence township, the former of whom died about 1750. These deeds further show that the first wife of James Morgan, of Durham, was Elinor, who died about 1762. His second wife, Sarah, whom he married about 1766, survived him. James Morgan, "Ironmonger," was a resident of Providence (Montgomery Co) as late as 1765. James Morgan conveyed land in Providence township, 1771, while a resident of Durham, and the claim of title recited in the deed, clearly prove his identity with the James Morgan, of Providence, son of Thomas and Jennet."
I found Thomas Morgan on the Landholders of Philadelphia in 1734. In Providence Township, as above stated. Montgomery County was created by an Act of the Pennsylvania Assembly on September 10, 1784, out of part of Philadelphia County. Providence, Montgomery Co. would have been the area Thomas Morgan and Jennet lived.
Another point is that 3 of the sons of James Morgan, Ironmonger, were Samuel Morgan and his brothers James and Mordecai who all three moved to Wayne Co PA and purchased large tracts of land (in the 1000s of acres), as they were lumbermen.

If Gen Daniel Morgan left home in about 1752 and traveled over Pennsylvania down to Virginia, seeking employment on the way, because of his dislike for his stepmother, then who was she? The 2nd wife of James Morgan, Sarah Hannlein, did not arrive in PA till 1765 and married James Morgan about 1766. In 1752, Daniel's father was still having babies with Daniel's "stepmother", presumably. Daniel Morgan may have even worked at Durham Furnace on his way across PA. I believe Daniel's father was over in NJ and not in PA. Later in life, Gen Morgan visited his poor brother David in NJ. http://books.google.com/books?id=52g9AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA19&lpg=PA19&dq=daniel+Morgan+brother+visit+poor&source=bl&ots=dVMRY2PPE5&sig=YkmBnD0VdD80vVXcW9dTbvq6EHM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=U1UMT8P7NMTy0gGnitHzBQ&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false
The Samuel Morgan who went to GA and was born about 1740-49 came from NJ and is not the same one. He was a wagon master in the Rev from Morris Co -the same one where my Adam Morgan enlisted. He was not the iron monger James Morgan's son. Samuel Morgan's father is unknown. I made the same mistake too about the 2 Samuels, believing what I read on line.
SAMUEL MORGAN, wagon master in the Revolution from Morris Co NJ and Hunterdon NJ
My own Adam Morgan, Rev soldier, b ca 1750 is of Morris Co NJ, moved down to Gloucester Co NJ after the Rev.- he has a brother or/and a father John Morgan. A John Morgan and Adam Morgan are registered in Morris Co NJ on the Continental line. During the Revolution when Tories occupied southern New Jersey, men and boys would hike up to Morris Co where Washington had his headquarters and sign up there. Samuel Morgan was born between 1740-1746 and would have been a contemporary of Adam Morgan and John Morgan. Samuel Morgan died 9 Oct 1833 in Homer, Franklin, Georgia married Nancy Hill 20 MAY 1766 in Hunterdon Co., NJ.
1830 Franklin Co GA census he is 80-89 and his wife is 70-80, living next to Caleb Hill. See image. Caleb Hill is a relation, either married to one of Samuel's daughters or a nephew thru his wife nancy Hill. In a Morgan Bible in NJ, Johnathan Hill Morgan was listed as a "stepbrother" to the Morgan boys. No, I dont have the source anymore. This is from memory. Also on the same census page is Thomas Bush, probably a relative because the Bush name is used for children in later generations.
Caleb was a Quaker name but, in any case, they would have been kicked out of meeting, having engaged in "war like activities."
Samuel Morgan, Wagon Master in the Rev. war for a while, married Nancy Hill, Hanover Twp, Morris County NJ and in the years
between 1784-1786 (tax list), Samuel Morgan was in Morris Co -listed in the NJ Line from Morris Co NJ, along with my ancestor Adam Morgan. Samuel went to the Carolinas and GA. The Land Lottery for Ga has RS (Revolutionary Soldier) after his name. Listed in an Elbert Co GA Land transaction. In the 1830 Franklin GA there are plenty of Hills and Garrisons listed. So they must have taken a wagon train from New Jersey to the south and Samuel was the wagon master.

1. Talitha MORGAN ca 1768

4. Margaret MORGAN ca 1775
5. Samuel MORGAN Jr b: 26 APR 1778 (or 25 April 1779) in Morris County,New Jersey m. Eleanor Garrison
6. John MORGAN b: 1784 in Morris County,New Jersey m. Sarah. A John Morgan and wife Sarah are mentioned in the Doughton papers at Gloucester Co NJ. Adam Morgan along with John Morgan who enlisted in the NJ Line in 1776 in Morris Co New Jersey came back to Gloucester Co NJ after his service and paid taxes there from 1777 to 1798. Adam Morgan was born 1798. Adam's father is either Adam Morgan or a John Morgan below. “Deed Nathan Thomas, et ux., dtd 5 Aug 1819 Bk. EE p. 481 to Elisha Chew 5 Aug 1819. Land adjoining ADAM MORGAN's land; and which land Nathan Thomas purchased of JOHN MORGAN and SARAH, his wife by deed 26 March 1817 Bk. Z, p. 416- Doughten papers Glou. Co. Clerk's office.” After this I could not find where they went. New Jersey has no census till 1830- it burned. But they could have gone to live with children in North Carolina or GA. There is no way to tell how old they were. If they are old they can be the parents of Adam Morgan, my ancestor born 1798. If they are young they are Adam's brother since John and Sarah Morgan lived next to Adam Morgan in Greenwich Twsp Gloucester Co NJ at what was originally called Carpenters Landing.

Other Morgans with connections to the south-
David Morgan married in the year 1735 and had two sons by his first wife; Charles Rolla Morgan, born in 1736 and Ralph Morgan in 1738. their mother died in the year 1743. After the death of his wife, David with his two sons, returned to his mother's house, his father having died in the year 1741. The two sons of David obtained a fair education; the youngest, Ralph, fitting himself for the vocation of a surveyor. (see English's History N.W.) David Morgan by his last wife, had nine children, the oldest named Zachariah Morgan, also David and Daniel that we have an account of, also a sister, Sarah, who married Robert McIlvaine, who in turn had eleven children, and large numbers of this name are found in West Moreland and Washington county, Pennsylvania, descendants from this family. We find Zachariah, the oldest, commanding a small company in the Battle of Point Pleasant in October 1774. The son, David went to Kentucky, and at the time of his death, 1813, represented Floyd county in the State Legislature. The son Daniel emigrated to North Carolina and thence to Alabama. It is probable that General John H. Morgan of confederate fame, who is said to be a distant relative of General Daniel Morgan, descended from one of the sons of David Morgan, very probably from the son Daniel, as he emigrated to the locality where the confederate chieftain was born. Zachariah Morgan emigrated to Madison county, Kentucky, in 1786 (See Collins Ky. Vol 2). Charles Rolla Morgan served under General Clark in the Kaskaskia, and Vincennes Expedition, with the rank of Sergeant, and was allotted land in the Clarke Grant. David's 2nd wife was Mrs. Peperill, whose maiden name was Menafee, her husband having been killed by the Indians four months after her first marriage. The Morgans were at this time living at Will's Creek Settlement, a few miles from Fort Cumberland.

HEINLEINS and MORGANS
HEINLEINS and MORGANS of Durham township, Bucks county. All the Heinleins in America are descendants of Matheis Heinlein, who with his wife, son George, and daughters Sarah and Eva, took passage in the ship "Bannister." Captain John Doyle, from Amsterdam, and qualified at Philadelphia, October 31, 1754. He settled in Durham township on a tract of land on the southern slope of Bucher Hill. A farm now belonging to B. F. Fackenthal was part of this tract, the other portion reaching over the hill into Northampton county. This entire tract became the property of his son George. Eva, the oldest daughter, became the wife of George Bernhard Horn. Sarah, the other daughter, became the second wife of James Morgan, ironmaster of Durham Furnace, and father of Daniel Morgan, the famous general of the Revolution. Daniel Morgan’s biographer, in a fit of romance, tells the story that the General, when a boy of fifteen, left his home solely by reason of his dislike to his stepmother. At the same time he sets Daniel’s departure in the year 1752, which is the correct period, and just two years before Sarah Heinlein arrived in America. She was married to James Morgan in 1765, and, tradition says, "made an excellent wife for her husband, helping to rear the children from his first wife." These were Mordica, Abel, James, Samuel and Olivia. Abel became a noted physician in Philadelphia. Mordica, James and Samuel were lumbermen, and were purchasers of large tracts of land in the upper Delaware and Susquehanna river country. Mordica purchased four hundred acres in Monroe county in 1785, on which he erected extensive saw-mills, and also four hundred acres in Luzerne county as early as 1776. James and Samuel also purchased four hundred acres each in this same year. Mordica and James finally settled at a place called Morgan’s Hill, in Wayne county, Pennsylvania, where their stepmother, Sarah Heinlein, passed her widowhood.
"General Daniel Morgan made a visit to his brother [David] on one of his trips from the north, the place being about twenty miles from the Delaware river, along which the old mine road traversed, the road generally used by the troops in passing between the Delaware and Hudson rivers. Probably Daniel’s cause for leaving home was more through the spirit of adventure than by any other reason. This same characteristic we find in his favorite cousin, Daniel Boone (Boone’s mother was a sister of James Morgan).
"The Boone family lived about this time near the Lehigh river, in Allen township, Northampton county. Squire George Boone and James Morgan were close friends. Dr. Abel Morgan and Captain George Heinlein never forgot their friendship of their boyhood days, and were close friends during the entire period of the Revolutionary War. Dr. Morgan was surgeon of the Eleventh Regiment. Pennsylvania Line. George Heinlein was a very popular man and became captain of the Durham township militia, served all through the war, and afterwards secured additional land and pursued farming. He always took an active part in public affairs, and at the time of his death, which occurred October 2, 1805, at the age of sixty-three, he was the possessor of the entire east end of Bucher Hill. He was buried with great honors in the family burying ground on the plantation. This quarter acre lot is along the road at the extreme end of Mr. Fackenthal’s farm, and through neglect is fast becoming obliterated. In it are buried all the first generations of Heinleins, Longs, Buchers and others. His family consisted of eleven children: Margaret, wife of Nicholas Brotzman; Eleanora, wife of John Bucher; Sarah, wife of Abraham Bucher; Lawrence, James, George, William, Reading, John, Ann and Catharine. All the Heinleins living in the regions roundabout are descendants of James, who married Ann Bay, only daughter of Hugh Bay and his wife Elizabeth Bell, both of Philadelphia. After Hugh Bay’s death Dr. Abel Morgan married the widow, and removed to what is now Morgan’s Hill, in Williams township, about one mile below Easton. They had only one daughter, Hannah, who died while yet in her teens. James Heinlein is credited with changing the spelling of the name from Heinlein to Hineline, yet the baptismal records of his family show the former way of spelling. His children were George Bay Heinlein, Hugh Bay Heinlein, Abel Morgan Heinlein, Edward Bay Heinlein, Morgan Bay Heinlein, Jacob Bay Heinlein, John Bay Heinlein, Henry Bay Heinlein, Hannah Eliza, wife of William Raub. They all were born prior to 1820. The children of George Bay Heinlein are: Hugh Abraham, born 1823; Joseph, 1825; John William, 1829; Samuel Morgan, 1832; Susan, 1834; Daniel Edward, 1836; Ann Shultz, 1839. The children of Joseph Heinlein are: Mary, married Kemmerer; Emma, married Edelman; Charles, Frank and Clara, married Kleinhans, all of whom have children, and some grandchildren. Hugh, Abel, Jacob and John, with their entire families, about the year 1860 removed to Ohio, where their descendants are quite numerous. The descendants of Morgan and Edward are to be found in Warren county, New Jersey, and Bucks and Northampton counties, Pennsylvania. Henry died without issue.

One has to remember that Gen Daniel Morgan never siad who his parents were. The only thing certain is that Gen Daniel Morgan had a brother David who he visited in NJ. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~morgansociety/david.htm#daniel
There is a big problem with the text about Daniel Morgan being related to James Morgan of Durham Furnance, and that is that Sarah Heinlein married James Morgan in 1765 when James Morgan's children were long grown and had left the house, with maybe the exception of the last child who would have been 20 years old. By that time Daniel Morgan was 30 years old. There is obviously a wife missing if Daniel Morgan left the house because of a step mother in 1752 and also the fact that James Morgan, iron monger, was more the age to be Daniel's brother, not father. Also this is not the house of Daniel Morgan where he was born- maybe he stayed there on his way thru PA to VA. It was said Daniel came from a poor and not very well educated family- this would not match the family of James Morgan who sons were all well off. Also there is no indication that James Morgan, iron monger, comes from a Quaker family as did Sarah Morgan wife of Boone. I dont see any proof that Sarah Morgan was related to Daniel Morgan or that he had any Quakerly upbringing.
Also in the text below on http://www.jstor.org/pss/40577562
it is stated that there is no proof that Daniel was related to Ann Morgan as was family tradition. I think every Morgan family wanted to be related to the general and just made it up on a hope and a dream.
The New Jersey Historical Society claims proof that an Isaac Morgan was the father of Gen. Daniel Morgan and that was in New Jersey where he lived.
