Biography

It is not certain when Samuel died. In the original profile, it was listed without source that he died in 1734; however this is inconsistent with his children. There is a death record is for a Samuel Morgan, died December 1769 in Preston, New London, Connecticut, but there is also a census record for Samuel Morgan in New London in 1790. There is no basis to tell if either of these or neither applies to this Samuel.
