Ken Morgan
Brian I know who his parents are, Elijah Morgan and Patty unknown. He was born July 20, 1780 in Brimfield, MA. Elijah Morgan was the son of Joseph Morgan Sr. and his second wife Rachael Dada [Morgan-1635, Dada-15] Elijah Morgan [Morgan-30614 was born May 31, 1758 per Brimfield,MA. vital records. I could not find a marriage for Elijah and Patty nor her maiden name. It appears Elijah married again October 8th, 1778 to Martha Hitchcock unless Elijah had a son Elijah? I am related to Joseph Morgan Sr. through his brother Daniel Morgan Sr. Thus the Dada middle name for son James .
