This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online. It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.

Usage guidelines

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying. We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

Most of these works that are of early date are now very rare. Copies of them are in most public libraries in the larger cities of the United States and in the libraries of historical societies. Copies also find their way, in very small number, into book auction sales and into the hands of dealers in second-hand books. Genealogies of recent date art generally procurable from the publishers.

Most of these works that are of early date are now very rare. Copies of them are in most public libraries in the larger cities of the United States and in the libraries of historical societies. Copies also find their way, in very small number, into book auction sales and into the hands of dealers in second-hand books. Genealogies of recent date are generally procurable from the publishers.

Most of these works that are of early date are now very rare. Copies of them are in most public libraries in the larger cities of the United States and in the libraries of historical societies. Copies also find their way, in very small number, into book auction sales and into the hands of dealers in second-hand books. Genealogies of recent date are generally procurable from the publishers.

Most of these works that are of early date are now very rare. Copies of them are in most public libraries in the larger cities of the United States and in the libraries of historical societies. Copies also find their way, in very small number, into book auction sales and into the ha.nds of dealers in second-hand books. Genealogies of recent date are generally procurable from the publishers.

Most of these works that are of early date are now very rare. Copies of them are in most public libraries in the larger cities of the United States and in the libraries of historical societies. Copies also find their way, in very small number, into hook auction sales and into the hands of dealers in second-hand books. Genealogies of recent date are generally procurable from the publishers.

Most of these works that are of early date are now very rare. Copies of them are in most public libraries in the larger cities of the United States and in the libraries of historical societies. Copies also find their way in very small number into book auction sales and into the hands of dealers in second-hand books. Genealogies of recent date are generally procurable from the publishers.

Most of these works that are of early date are now very rare. Copies of them are in most public libraries in the larger cities of the United States and in the libraries of historical societies. Copies also find their way, in very small number, into book auction sales and into the hands of dealers in second-hand books. Genealogies of recent date are generally procurable from the publishers. Inquiries in regard to these or any other genealogical works may be addressed to the editor of GENEALOGY. (Continued from page 204.)

Most of these works that are of early date are now very rare. Copies of them are in most public libraries in the larger cities of the United States and in the libraries of historical societies. Copies also find their way in very small number into book auction sales and into the hands of dealers in second-hand books. Genealogies of recent date are generally procurable from the publishers.

American Geneaioilea This is a list of the genealogies of American families, published in book or pamphlet form, with date of pUblication. Most of these works that are of early date are now very rare. Copies of them are in most public libraries in the larger cities of the United States and in the libraries of historical societies. Copies also find their way in very small number into book auction sales and in to the hands of dealers of second-hand books. Genealogies of recent date are generally procurable from the publishers.

American Genealo&iee This is a list of the genealogies of American families, published in book or pamphlet form, with date of publication. Most of these works that are of early date are now very rare. Copies of them are in most public libraries in the larger cities of the United States and in the libraries of historical societies. Copies also find their way in very small number into book auction sales and into the hands of dealers in second-hand books. Genealogies of recent date are generally procurable from the publishers.

By LYMAN HOIlACE Walts Arms-Or, a griffin segreant sable. Crest-A reindeer's head couped or, at- tired gules. Motto-Onward and Upward. CELTIC in origin, the name Morgan is older than the advent of the Saxon race or language in Great Britain. Its derivation is not certain. Dixon, an author- ity on surnames, says that it means by sea, or, by the sea, which is probably as nearly accurate as any explanation may be. The name is allied to the Scotch cea"" mo", meaning big head, or perhaps big headland. Another possible deriva- tion is from the Welsh more can, meaning sea burn. As a sumame, Morgan was common throughout Wales as early as the first years of the Christian era. One authority says: "The founder of the Pelagian heresy in the fourth century, about A. D. 360, was a true Welshman, a monk of Bangor. His name was Morgan, which signifies 'of the sea,' and this was correctly Latinized Pe/agus." * The name had became common before the time of the Conquest and appears in the Domesday Book and in the Battle Abbey Roll. Princes and other potentates of Wales bearing the name of Morgan were living as far back as the year 300 or 400. One of these princes, Morgan of Gla- morgan, in 725, is said to have invented trial by jury, which he called the apos- tolic law. "As Christ and the twelve apostles are finally to judge the world, so human tribunals should be composed of the king and twelve wise men." Some time in the latter part of the sixteenth century, the family from which were derived the ancestors of the American branch, moved from Wales, across the channel, to Bristol, England. There they settled and became substantial citizens of that part of Great Britain. The immediate family of Miles Morgan who came to Massachusetts was of Glamorgan county, Wales. Records indicate that his father was William Morgan of Llandaff. I Miles Morgan was born about 1615, probably in Llandaff, Glamorgan county, Wales. Accompanying his brother James Morgan, who settled in New London, Conn., and another brother John Morgan, who went to Virginia, he sailed from Bristol, England, and arrived in Boston in April, 1636. His first residence was in Roxbury, Mass., but soon he joined the company that had been led by Sir William Pynchon and had founded Agawan (Springfield) on the banks of the Connecticut river. He was in Agawam before 1643 and became one of the lead- ing men of that place. He acquired a large tract of land; was a trader, sailing up and down the Connecticut river; owned one of the few fortified houses in Agawam; was one of the leaders of the militia, having the rank of sergeant, and was a famous Indian hunter. In all the fighting to protect the little settlement from the attack of the savages, he was much depended upon for his valor and his skill. In the "record or list of ye names of the Townsmen or men of this Towne of Sprin~eld in February, 1664, written by Elizur Holyoke," he appears as Serj. Miles Morgan. In 1655, 1657, 1600, 1662 and 1668, he was a selectman • Lower's Dictionary of Family Na".es.

of Springfield. He served as a constable, a fence viewer, a highway surveyor and overseer of highway. He married, first, in 1643, Prudence Gilhert of Beverly, Mass. The tradition is that on the vessel on which he came to Boston, Prudence Gilbert was also a passenger, coming to join members of her family already located in Beverly. After he had settled in Springfield he sent word to her and proposed marriage. She accepted the offer and the young man, with two friends and an Indian guide with pack horses, marched across Massachusetts from the Connecticut river to the "land of the people of the east," where the two were married. After the marriage the household goods of the young couple were laden on the pack horses, and the bride, on foot, tramped back to Springfield, one hundred and twenty miles, escorted by the bridegroom and his friends. She died January 14, 1660. He married, second, in February IS, 1670, Elizabeth Bliss, who was born in Boston about 1637, daughter of Thomas and Margaret Bliss. Thomas Bliss and his wife Margaret came from Devonshire, England, to Massachusetts in 1635. They lived in Braintree, Mass., and Hartford, Conn., where he died in 1640.

American Genea10atea This is a list of the genealogies of American families, published in book or pamphlet form, with date of publication. Most of these works that are of early date are now very rare. Copies of them are in most public libraries in the larger cities of the United States and in the libraries of historical societies. Copies also find their way in very small number into book auction sales and into the hands of dealers in second-hand books. Genealogies of recent date are generally procurable from the publishers. Inquiries in regard to these or any other genealogical works may be addressed to the editor of GENEALOGY. (Continued from page 332.) ARNoLD.-Pedigree of Arnold, A. D.
