  === Life Sketch ===
  From the Morgan Family History (online at http://www.hausegenealogy.com/morgan.html):
  
  The word "Mor-gan" is a Cymric derivative, meaning one born by the sea (muir, sea ; gin, begotten). It's one of the oldest Welsh names on record, stretching back to the legends of King Arthur: The story goes that after a defeat in battle with a local potentate, Arthur removed his queen for safety to the coast of what is now the county of Glamorganshire, in Wales. Her child, Arthur's younger son, was born there and named Mor-gan—the man 'born by the sea'—and from that they named the land Gla-mor-gan, meaning the country of the man born by the sea.¹
  
  Arthurian Legend is rooted in Wales: The Round Table was supposedly at Cærleon on the Usk, and the village of Cærfyrddin (Caerfyrddin), still exists today. Merlin the wizard is said to have been born there in the sixth century. But most importantly to us, it's the hometown of the earliest-known Morgan ancestor. In fact, the Morgans in our lineage actually came to America from Glamorganshire, Wales, in the 1600's.
  
  A thousand years ago in NON-fictional history, Cærfyrddinshire was inhabited by a tribe who the Romans called the Demetæ. (Whatever they called themselves has been lost through time.) The chieftain of this tribe was named CADIVOR-FAWR. He controlled the land of Dyfed (now called Pembrokeshire). His wife was ELEN, daughter and heiress of another chieftain, LLWCH LLAWEN. Cadivor died in the year 1089 and was buried at Carfyrddin.
  
  Cadivor's third son, BLEDDRI², is the next direct ancestor of the Welsh Morgan line (he was the source of the first version of the Morgan Coat-of-Arms).
  
  What follows is our lineage to Bleddri, according to the "Morgan Family History" book at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah (NOTE: In Welsh conventions of patronymics, AP denotes "son of," and FERCH denotes "daughter of." These were used because there were no surnames in Wales until about 1400, so it was the only way you could tell people apart):
  
  Bleddri married CLYDWEN, daughter of GRIFFITH ap CYDRICH, and had a son named IVOR. Ivor married NEST, daughter of CADAROC ap MADOC ap IDNERTH ap CADWGAN ap ELSTAN GLODDRYDD, and they had a son with the blessedly short name of LLEWELYN.
  
  Llewelyn married LLEICI, daughter of GRIFFITH ap BELI and had a son named IVOR.
  
  Ivor married TANGLWST, daughter of HOWEL SAIS ap ARGLWYDD RHYS, and had a son named LLEWELYN LLEIA. He married SUSAN, also a daughter of HOWEL ap HOWEL SAIS, a first cousin, although how anybody could trace that with all of the other aps and ferches running around is beyond me. Anyway, they had son named IVOR.
  
  Ivor's spouse is unknown, but he had a son named LLEWELYN, Lord of Kilsaint or St. Clear. Llewelyn married ANGHARAD (b. 1300), daughter and heir of SIR MORGAN ap MEREDITH, from the Welsh Lords of Cærleon, ap GRIFFITH ap MEREDITH ap RHYS, the Lord of Tredegar. (From this point the Morgan line descends as the "Morgans of Tredegar.")³
