There seems to be an inconsistency as to the birth locations of Edward Morgan's children?

Margaret listed as born 1693 in Gwynedd, Montgomery, PA. Edward bought land there in 1704 and moved by 1708? Elizabeth born 1694 in Wales? Leah and Ruth born 1695 in Montgomery County. Were they twins? John born 1696 in Wales?  Daniel born next in Philadelphia County, PA. I can go on and on. Some list 20 children some list 21 children often born in different areas of PA . If Edward moved to Gwynedd by 1708 and died there why were the children born in so many different locations in 2 different countries?

The answer is likely found in the fact that most of these profiles have come from other Family tree sites and have no sources. That throws into doubt if any of the children are attached to the right Edward Morgan.

My advice is track the locations. See which are close by to each other. Check that the biography doesn't have different details.

Check if the town Location comes up in different countries. That may be one issue that someone just choose the first location that it autocorrected to.

For the ones that are not in the general area investigate if there would be a reason for them travelling? My ex wife is a New Zealander by decent but was born in Singapore. Her father was in the Army and was posted there. Did something similar happen to Edward Morgan?

Their could be many different reasons that they are different and it needs someone conversant in the history of the family and area to do that.
