DNA

Hugh Morgan is the Historic Common Ancestor (HCA) for members of FT-DNA's Y-DNA Morgan Project, group #41. He is the Common DNA Ancestor for descendants of his two sons: - James Morgan Sr - Roelef Morgan

• As of 23 April 2021, five members have a confirmed match on their Y-111 test with maximum variance of 3 STR's = 97% confidence.

Paternal relationship is confirmed by Family Tree DNA Y-111 chromosome testing of: .

a. J. F. Morgan, FTDNA kit #86115, matched at an individual Genetic Distance of 3 on 111 STR markers from the group Mode thereby confirming direct paternal line back to the group's HCA Hugh Morgan

b. R. H. Morgan, FTDNA kit #B49021, matched at an individual Genetic Distance of 1 on 111 STR markers from the group Mode thereby confirming direct paternal line back to the group's HCA Hugh Morgan

c. M. P. Caster, FT-DNA kit #97793, matched at an individual Genetic Distance of 1 on 111 STR markers from the group Mode thereby confirming direct paternal line back to the group's HCA Hugh Morgan

d. R. G. Morgan, FTDNA kit #939059, matched at an individual Genetic Distance of 1 on 111 STR markers from the group Mode thereby confirming direct paternal line back to the group's HCA Hugh Morgan

Research Notes

From 2017 to 2021 this profile for Hugh Morgan was linked as a son of James Morgan, Sr. (Morgan group #33) and his wife Jane (Evans) Morgan. Since then, FT-DNA studies have identified Hugh Morgan as Morgan group #41. As a result of the DNA studies, Hugh Morgan was detached in Feb 2021 as a child of James Morgan, Sr. and his wife Jane (Evans) Morgan.
