Biography

Sir James Morgan was a member of the aristocracy in British Isles.

Born sometime after 1642, since he was described as a minor in a 1663 lawsuit between his brother Sir Edward Morgan, 2nd Baronet, and the third husband of their mother Mary Englefield Morgan.^[1] He died 30 Apr 1718, probably at Abergavenny, Wales, where his death was recorded in a Catholic parish register.^[1] On the death of his nephew, he inherited the baronetcy of Llantarnam, though not the family estates.

James was buried on 30 April 1718 in Abergavenny St Mary, Monmouthshire, Wales.^[2]

Research Notes
