OCCGS REFERENCE ON Y THOMAS MORGAN (1 754-1813) A Scottish watchmaker with a Welsh name
by David L C raig 1
Morgan is a very common We lsh name. but a qui te uncommon one in Scotl and. Yet in the late eightee nth and early ninctccnlh centuries. there was a watch and clockmaker in Edi nburgh named Thomas Morgan. who appears to have had some prominence in that profession. Morgan rates an entry or over a page in the standard reference book on Scottish clockm akers. Old Scollish Clock111 aker.1·.fi"o111 1453 10 1850. 2 He is also li sted in that book as apprentice master and essay master (i.c: examiner or the test pieces of the pupils of other apprenti ce masters) of a number of apprentice watchmakers. Several examples of Morgan ·s work arc known 10 be st ill in ex istcncc and. while they do not show any special innovation. they arc good exampl es of commercial watch and clock maki ng in the period. The story of how Thomas Morgan came to be a watch and clock maker in Edin burgh highlight s the mobility th rough trade of people in the Uni ted Ki ngdom in the 1700s. It also provides an exam ple of how crafts. which were con1 rollcd by guilds, were passed on through fami ly connections. The reason Thomas Morgan had a non-Scotti sh surname was that hi s father was not Scoll ish and Thomas was not born in Scotland . Howeve r, his mother was Sco11 ish and this al most certai nly ex plai ns how Thomas Morgan came to live most of his life in Scot land . Thomas Morgan ·s fat her was John Morgan. a London corn chandler or corn merchant. ' .John Morgan·s parentage is not known at this time. so it not clear whether he had Welsh origi ns. Thomas Mo rgan·s moth er was Elizabeth Ramsay fro m Kirkcaldy in Fifcshirc. Al fi r t glance. it might be wondered how a woman from a small town on Scotland's cast coast came to marry a London corn merchan t. The answer appears to I ic in trade between England and Scotland. Kirkcaldy was a signi ficant port fo r the shipping of corn ." El izabeth Ram say·s father, Tho mas Ramsay. was a shipowner and shipmastcr in Kirkca ldy and, no doubt. his ships were invo lved in the corn trade with London. It is reasonable 10 assume 1ha1 Jo hn Morgan met Thomas Ramsay's da ughter through the corn trade. Thomas Ramsay was a ba ili c ofKirkcaldy and connected by marriage to the prominen t Kirkca ldy fa mil ies of Oswald and Ferguson. Thomas Morgan was served nearest ma le heir to his grandfather Thoma s Ramsay. shipmastcr in Kirkcalcl y. in 1782.5

The Scottish Genealogist 93 Wharf Anglican church at Queen Victoria Street in London. The parish marriage register records the marriage as follows:
1752May13 JlJh11 MlJrga11 ~(Wandsworth, Sun:v [sic], B[achelor], and Elizabeth Ramsay ofthe same, [blank].''
(Almost certainly ''of the same'' should ha~e had "parish" at the end of the sentence). From the baptism records of London churches, Thomas Morgan appears to have been the eldest of seven children of John Morgan and Elizabeth Ramsay, though it is very difficult to be certain because most English baptism registers (in contrast to most Scottish ones) do not give the mother's maiden surname or the father's occupation. Thomas Morgan's baptism is simply recorded in the baptism register of the church of St Botolph without Aldersgate in London as: 1754 Aug 29 Tlws S[onj ofJ1~0 and Eli=/1 Morgan 7 The other probable children of John Morgan and Elizabeth Ramsay were John (9 Jan 1757), Elizabeth (27 Mar 1759), Sarah (22 Feb 1761 ), William ( c 1762), Mary ( 17 Feb 1765) and Hugh (c 1770). All the above baptisms were at St Botolph without Aldersgate in London." Nothing is known of most of these probable siblings of Thomas Morgan, though some unproven infonnation exists on John and Hugh.9 John Morgan was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh, on 2 Feb 1781, 4 double paces north ofForrester:~ Tomb. w Nothing is known ofThomas Morgan's early life until his apprenticeship as a watch maker, or what happened to his siblings. Thomas Morgan was apprenticed in Edinburgh as a watchmaker in 1767, at the age of 13 years. The Register (?/Apprentices - Cizr ofEdinburgh 1756-1800 provides the following details of his apprenticeship: MlJrga11, Thomas. son of John, corn chandler in London. to William Nicol, watch maker.for 6 years 1 Dec 1767. 11 William Nicol (sometimes spelt Nicoll) was a well-known Edinburgh watchmaker of the time. According to Old Sco1tish Clockmaker.\· he was apprenticed in 1740 and admitted as a freeman clock and watch maker in 1748. 12 He was married to Sarah Ramsay, sister of Morgan's mother, Elizabeth Ramsay, and was therefore Morgan's uncle-in-law. Apprenticing a child to a relative was quite common at the time and Morgan's apprenticeship was fairly typical of the way in which trades were passed on through families. Having completed his apprenticeship, Thomas Morgan completed his essay (ie test piece) for admission as a qualified tradesman in 1776. Old Scotlish Clockmaker.\· says: ThlJmas MlJrga11, sometime apprentice to the deceased William Nicoll,

The Scotlish Ge11ealogisl 95 presented his bill craving to be admitted a freeman on 4'h May 1776. 1 Compeared on 18 h November 1776, and produced his essay, being a plain watch movement begun, made, and finished in his own shop in presence of Samuel Brown, landlord, Laurence Dalgleish, James Gray, and Thomas Sibbald, essay masters as they declared, etc. 13 The Roll of Edinburgh Burgesses and Guild-bretheren 1761-1841 lists Morgan's admission as a burgess as follows: Morgan, Thomas, watchmake1; Burgess, as apprentice to Wm. Nicol, clock and watch maker 26 Mar 1777. 14
Apprentice Master & Essay Master Thomas Morgan was apprentice master for at least four clock and watchmaking apprentices during his career. The Register ofApprentices - City o.fEdinburgh 1756- 1800 provides the following details of his apprentices: Fyfe, William, son of William, shipmaste1; in Queensferry, to Thomas Morgan, clock and watchmaker, for 8 years 11 May 1780 Alexander, William, son of Alexa11de1; merchant, in Loanhead, to Thomas Morgan, clock and watchmaker, for 8 years 22 Apr 1784 limes, David, son of David, officer to the Edinburgh Friendly Insurance Company against Fire, to Thomas Morgan, clock and watchmake1;for 7 years 20 Oct 1785 McQueen, Alexander, son of Sween, merchant or spirit dealer, to Thomas Morgan, clock and watchmaker, for 7 years 11 Dec 1788 Old Scottish Clockmakers also mentions Morgan was apprentice master to three of 15 the above, with very slightly different dates in some cases: Fyfe (bound 1780) ; 16 17 Innes (bound 30 Jul 1785) ; and McQueen (bound 9 Dec 1788) , but does not mention Alexander. It also refers to Morgan as an essay master for three apprentices: Dickie, Alexander 3 May 1777 18 Logie, Robert 3 May 1806 19 Gray, James, jun. 2 Aug 1806 20 It does not appear that any of these apprentices were related, or their families otherwise connected, to Thomas Morgan, with the exception that James Gray jun. was the son of one of Thomas Morgan's essay examiners. Another book, Clockmakers & Watchmakers of Scotland 1453-1900 21 by Donald Whyte (a Vice-President of the Scottish Genealogy Society), refers to a petition signed on 26 December 1797 by 32 Edinburgh clockmakers and watchmakers against a tax on clocks and watches. Mr. Whyte comments that the signatories "represent the names of the most important men in the trade at that period". A photograph in Mr. Whyte's book of the signatures on that petition shows that Thomas
96 The Scottish Genealogist Morgan was a signatory to the petition. In fact, he appears to have been the final signatory, who dated the document, perhaps indicating that he organised the petition. There were several groups who published business and post office directories for Edinburgh in the late 1700s and early I 800s.22 From surviving copies of these directories, the locations from which Thqmas Morgan operated his business as a watch and clock maker can be traced as follows: Year Location 1778-79 Head of Bell's Wynd 1780-83 Back of Guard 1788-89 Head of Bell's Wynd 1790-1800 30 South Bridge, east side (Note: also listed at Cross, south side in Williamson's 1794-96 directory) 1800-02 11 South Bridge, west side 1803-04 3 7 South Bridge 1804-05 9 Nicholson Street 1805-07 Infirmary Street (Note: No 1 from newspaper advertisement) 1807-08 19 College Street 1808-10 Lothian Street 1810-12 Not listed in Edinburgh directories 1812-13 Buccleuch Pend (Morgan was living here when he died in 1813) Another source of information regarding changes to Morgan's business location is newspaper advertisements. Old Scottish Cfockmakers quotes the following two such advertisements: 23
Edinburgh Advertiser, 3rd March 1789 T. Morgan respectfully acquaints his friends and the public that he has moved from his fate shop in the Clam Sheff, Tztrnpike, High Street, to No. 30, east side ofSouth Bridge, where he will continue to carry on the watch and clock making in all its branches. He has at present an elegant variety ofplain and ornamented Gold, Sifve1; and Pinchbeck Watches, also elegant spring quarter clocks of all sorts. Barometers and Thermometers made and repaired upon the shortest notice.
Caledonian Mercury, 215' May 1803 T. Morgan embraces the opportunity to return his grateful acknowledgements to his friends and the public for their ve1y liberal countenance towards him hitherto in the way ofhis profession, and begs leave to acquaint them that he has removed from his former s~op on South Bridge to a more commodious shop, No 1 Infirmary Street, wh~re he intends to carry on the clock and watch making business in all its branc~es and 011 the lowest terms. T.M. at present is provided with an excellent stoc~ of clocks and watches and timepieces ofall
The Scottish Genealogist 97 descriptions, particularly spring or table clocks, together with a varie~v of articles in the jewelle1J' line, all well deserving the notice ofpurc/wsers. Clocks and Watches repaired and mended as usual with care and attellfion. The first advertisement provides a clear date as to when Morgan moved to 30 South Bridge (east side). He remained in these premises for 10 years, by far the longest tenure in any of his shops. From the entries in the Edinburgh directories, it appeared he moved to 30 South Bridge from the head of Bell's Wynd, but the advertisement indicates another shop at the Clam Shell, Turnpike, High Street, which does not appear in the directories. The second advertisement also presents a slightly different view from the Edinburgh directories of the timing of Morgan's movement of premises. According to the advertisement, he moved directly from South Bridge (presumably No 37, his third shop on South Bridge according to the Edinburgh directories) to 1 Infirmary Street (just around the comer) in May 1803, whereas the Edinburgh directories indicate he moved to Infirmary Street about 1805, having occupied premises at 9 Nicholson Street after leaving South Bridge. Morgan's location at Buccleuch Pend in 1812-13 was his residence when he died in 1813 and where his wife Elizabeth was still living until she departed for Van Diemen 's Land (Tasmania) in 1824 with her daughter Madeline and her widowed sister, Susanna. Interestingly, the tenement house at Buccleuch Pend in which Morgan lived was demolished in 194 7. This building was notable because Robert Burns was said to have lodged there in 1784. 24 There was an empty space linking Buccleuch Street and St Patrick's Square until a new tenement building was built in 2000, It matches the original, with an archway underneath to maintain the link between Buccleuch Street and St Patrick's Square.
Surviving Examples of Morgan's Work At July 2006, the author knows of six surviving examples of Thomas Morgan's work as a watch and clock maker - one watch and five longcase clocks. The National Museums of Scotland ("NMS") in Edinburgh hold the watch and one longcase clock; two other longcase clocks were sold by Phillips (now Bonhams) auctioneers in Edinburgh in 1984 and 1995; one longcase clock was for sale by an antique dealer in Scotland; and Watchmakers of Scotland 1453-1900 25 refers to a ''known longcase clock with a Birmingham painted dial" (this must be a different clock as the other four clocks have silvered dials). The watch (see Fig 1), in a pinchbeck case with a centre second hand, was given by William Brook, jeweller and silversmith in Edinburgh, to the Museum of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1933-34. It is now in the NMS in Edinburgh. The photographs in Fig 1 are courtesy of George Dalgleish, Principal Curator, Scottish History at the NMS, whose description of the watch is as follows: 26

Two Thomas Morgan longcase clocks were so ld by Phill ips (now Bonhams) auctioneers in Edinburgh in 1984 and 1995.27 The details of these clocks from the Phillips catalogues are as fo llows:

Morgan Edinburgh' over subsidiary second I dial and calendar aperture, the eight day movement with anchor escapement striking on a single bell. 220cm. • Lot 67a in Phillips catalogue of 31 Mar 1995 A George Ill Mahogany longcas~ clock, the swan-neck pediment with three ball finials above fluted columns and shaped trunk door flanked by fluted quarter columns, on bracket feet, the silvered face inscribed Thomas Morgan, Edinburgh to the arch,j/anked by two mythical sea creatures, the chapter ring enclosing seconds dial and calendar aperture, within bellflower engraved spandrels, the eight-day movement striking on a bell. 227cm high. Unfortunately, the present location or ownership of these two clocks is unknown. The longcase clock for sale by a Scottish antique dealer in July 2006 (see Fig 2) came from an auction in St Andrews in 2005. It has an oak case, a 12 inch silver dial with seconds and calendar and an 8-day movement. The clock had been in the same family in Edinburgh for many years before the owner had moved to Fife and sold it. Marriage Morgan did not marry until 1788, when he was 33 years old. This was quite late for a man to marry in this period. Morgan's bride, Elizabeth Bayne, was only 19 years old, 14 years his junior. She was born on 13 January 17 69 to parents George Bayne (sometimes spelt Bain) and Elizabeth Anderson. Entry 223 on 18 April 1788 in the marriage register of the Church of Scotland for Edinburgh says: Thomas Morgan Clock & Watch Maker Old Kirk Parish and Miss Elizabeth Bayne St Andrew Kirk Parish Daughter ofGeorge Bayne Writer in Edinburgh28 Probably around the time they married in 1788, Thomas Morgan and Elizabeth Bayne had an artist paint matching silhouettes of them. This was a fairly popular method of recording people's images at the time, as it was cheaper than having a full portrait painted. These silhouettes are reproduced in Fig 3 from photographic copies of the originals, probably made in Tasmania in the late 1800s or early 1900s. These copies have been passed down through the families of several descendants of Thomas and Elizabeth Morgan in Australia. Unfo1"t4nately, it is not known what has become of the original silhouettes. Dr Stephen Lloyd, Senior Curator at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh, has attri~uted these silhouettes to John Miers, one of the most famous English silhouette artistS.29 According to the book British Silhouette I I The Scottish Genealogist 101 Fig 3: Si lhouettes ofThomas & Elizabeth Morgan (c 1788) Artists a11d Their Work 1760-1860, John Miers worked in Edinburgh from about 18 October 1786 unti l the autumn of 1788. 30 He was therefore in Edinburgh at the time of Thomas Morgan's marri age to Elizabeth Morgan and could have painted their silhouettes at that time. Eli zabeth Bayne's father, George Bayne, was a Writer [solicitor] in Ed in burgh and I" Clerk to Sir John Inglis, Baronet, of Crammond. Her mother, Elizabeth Anderson, was George Bayne's second wife, and he was her second husband. George Bayne's parents are unknown. According to Edinbugh directories of the time, George Bayne [spe lt Bai11 in the directori es] was living in Potter Row in 1773 and in Alison's Square from 1774-8 1. He was residing in Bristo St at the time of hi s death in 1794.31 He was buried in Greyfriar's Kirkyard, Edinburgh, on 28 Ju n 1794, ten double-paces east.from Balla11ty11e'.1· tomb in the same locati on as his fi rst wife, Marjorie McDougalt. 32 Elizabeth Anderson was the daughter of Dr Andrew Anderson. surgeon of Long Hermiston, West Lothi an, and Magdalen Sandilands, who was related to the Sandilands fa mi ly, Lords Torphichen of Mid-Calder in West Lothian. Elizabeth Anderson died a year before George Bayne and was buried near him in Greyfriar's Kirk yard on I Feb 1793, six double-paces east .from Bal/a11ty11e s tomb. 33
102 Tlt e Scon ish Genealogist George Bayne had five children by his first marriage to Marjorie McDougall and Elizabeth Anderson had four children by her first husband, Andrew Mitchell. Together they had three children, only two of whom survived - Elizabeth (born 1769) and Susanna (born 1771 ). Thomas and Elizabeth Morgan also had only two children who survived to adulthood ! - Alexander Braithwaite (born 1797) and:Madeline Sandilands (born circa 1807). I However, the Greyfriars Kirkyard burial records show that they had five other children who all died in childhood-John (died 1799), Elizabeth (died 1812), James Anderson 34 (baptised 1804, died 1818), Agusta Sarah (died 1806) and Charles (died 1813) • Unfortunately, the baptism of only one of the seven known children appears in the Church of Scotland baptism registers, so ~he ages of most of the children when they died are not known. Losing five of seven children, all seemingly after infancy, must have been tragic for the Morgans, whilst not uncommon. The end of 1812 and early 1813 must have been particularly difficult for the family, with the deaths of two children (Elizabeth and Charles) in less than a month and the death of their father just a few months later. Thomas Morgan died aged 58 years in May 1813. He was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh, 4 double paces south west of Laing s Head Stone on 12 May 1813.35 Morgan and four of his children are buried in this location in Greyfriars. After her husband's death, Elizabeth continued to live at Buccleuch Pend in Edinburgh until 1824. Elizabeth and her daughter, Madeline Sandi lands Morgan, then migrated from Scotland to Van Diemen 's Land (Tasmania) with Elizabeth's sister, Susanna Turnbull (nee Bayne) and her four children, and another family connected to the Turn bulls. Alexander Braithwaite Morgan joined the British army in 1815 as a Hospital Mate before being promoted to Hospital Assistant. He became Assistant Surgeon in the 1 111 55 h Regiment of Foot in 1825 and Surgeon in the 57 Regiment of Foot in 1839. He served in Coorg in 1834 and the Kaffir War of 1851-53.36 He died at Grahamstown, Cape Colony (South Africa) on 25 May 1861. His descendants included several generations of prominent surgeons and officers in the British army, including (a son) Colonel Sir Alexander Brooke Morgan, CB KCB ( 183 7-1911 ). Thomas and Elizabeth Morgan owned a number of properties around Edinburgh and appear to have been minor property speculators. This is indicated by a number of 37 entries in the Midlothian Abridgements ofSasines , which include the following: Morgan acquired J2/3 Acre: of the lands of Bang/10/m Park, being part of TRINITY MAINS, par St Cuthbertson 17 November 1796 and disposed of
it only a month later on 20' December 1796. 1 He then acquired part ofNEWINGTON with a Du•elling House and other Buildings thereon, par St Cuthberts on 10 April 1797 and two years later, I
I
The Scottish Ge11ea/ogisl 103 on I May 1799, transferred it to his brother-in-law, Dr Adam Turnbull, late Purveyor to H.M. 's Hospital in the West Indies. Turnbull then disposed of the property, with Morgan's consent, on 26 June 1800. On 8 June 1813, less than a month after her husband's death on 12 May 1813, Elizabeth Morgan sold the ground Flat ofa Tenement with a Cellar and the north halfof a Piece ofland in from thereof on part ofthe lands of FIEGOTE (at PORTOBELLO), and the second or middle Flat ofa Tenement with the south half of the Plot ofground in front thereof in Tower Street, Portobello, par. Duddingston that she had acquired in 1806. Perhaps she needed money urgently after her husband died? Then no further Sasines entries appear until a flurry of activity just before Elizabeth Morgan and her sister Susanna Turnbull sailed for Van Diemen 's Land on 15 November 1824 with their children: • On 11 October 1824, Elizabeth Morgan and Susanna Turnbull sold the third Story above the level ofthe Street ofa Tenement ofland with cellars fronting BUCCLEUCH STREET, pm: St Cuthberts. This was where Elizabeth and Susanna had lived together as widows with their children since Adam Turnbull senior died in 1821. • Then there was a transfer of the second Story above the level ofthe Street ofa large Tenement ofland with 2 Cellars fronting BUCCLEUCH STREET, par. St Cuthberts (in the same building as above) from joint ownership of Elizabeth and Susanna Bayne to sole ownership by Susanna Bayne on 5 November 1824, only 10 days before the departure from Edinburgh (though it was not registered until 1828). • As well as selling the property in which she resided before she departed for Van Diemen 's Land, Elizabeth Morgan also sold, on 23 October 1824, a property comprising 25 Falls and 12 ells ofground with the Erections thereon, on the north side ofthe Coal Road to EDGEFIELD, par Lasswade, which she had acquired in 1805. • Her sister, Susanna Turnbull, and her son, Dr Adam Turnbull jun., also sold a number of properties in Scotland before and after migrating to Van Diemen 's Land in 1824. The Buccleuch Pend tenement in which the Morgans and the Turnbulls lived seems to have been acquired by George Bayne and his wife as far back as 23 May 1785, according to a Sasine entry which also me~tions their children, Elizabeth and Susanna. In his Will dated 9 July 1784 (included in his Testament Testamentar dated 9 August 1794), George Bayne left his whole estate to his second wife, Elizabeth Anderson, and his two children by that marriage, Elizabeth and Susanna. 38 He stated that the children of his first marriage had been sufficiently provided for by himself during his lifetime and from the estate of their deceased brother, Lieutenant Alexander Bayne.
104 The Scottish Genealogist The Will specifically mentions the property in Buccleuch Street referred to in the Sasines entry above. By the time George Bayne died on 28 June 1794, Elizabeth Anderson was also deceased (1793), so the whole of his estate was shared equally between Elizabeth and Susanna. Elizabeth was by then married to Thomas Morgan and he is mentioned in the Dispositioh and Settlement in Bayne's Testament Testamentar. /
Migration to Van Diemen 's Land ! Before departing from Edinburgh, Elizab,eth, Madeline, Susanna and her children all wrote letters to the Colonial Office in London seeking land grants in Van Diemen 's Land. Elizabeth Morgan's letter of 18 April 1824 addressed from her residence at Buccleuch Arch [ie Buccleuch Pend] expressed her reason for leaving Scotland as follows: I have been a Widow for these rJeive years left with the care of two children upon means which in consequence of the reduction on the interest ofmoney I find insufficient for maintaining us in the manner we were accustomed -for their sake therefore as well as my own I have resolved on this undertaking ... 39 Her statement sounds like the lament of many self-funded retirees of today. The Scottish property transactions referred to above paint a picture of a family that appeared to be quite well-off financially. However, Elizabeth and Susanna must have thought they could provide better opportunities for their children by moving to the other side of the world. They sailed from Leith on 15 November 1824 on the ship City of Edinburgh and arrived in Hobart five months later on 13 April 1825. 40 Elizabeth was 55 years old when she left her relatively comfortable middle class life in Edinburgh for the rigours of early Tasmania, a time of life when most people are looking to take it easy. It seems unlikely that Elizabeth and her family really understood, before they departed, the difficulties oflife in an undeveloped new colony on the other side of the world. Despite receiving land grants in Van Diemen 's Land from the British government, life could not have been easy for them, or other free settlers, in early Australia. Elizabeth Morgan became a farmer inVan Diemen's Land, an occupation that would have been far removed from her experience in Edinburgh. She died in Hobart on 18 February 1840, aged 71 years. The cause of her death was given as "'old age". She is buried in St Andrew's Cemetery (now St Andrew's Park), North Hobart, Tasmania, together with her granddaughter, Elizabeth Craig.41 Her gravestone is shown in (Fig 4). Her sister, Susanna Turnbull, died in Hobart in 1845, aged 74 years. She is also buried in St Andrew's Cemetery, North Hobart. Her descendants prospered financially

Madeline was left with fo ur young chil dren to support in Hobart. She remarried in 1835 to John Offor, a clerk/accountant in the Audit Office, and had another five chil dren by hi m. Madeline died in Hobart of consumption in 1846, just 39 years old.

Deer.. wild turkey, pheasants, and every variety of birds and small game were plentiful according to Sartain's "History of Walker County." Even 75 years later, descendants recall that Pigeon Mountain was so named because of the large number of pigeons who roosted there. They recall that it was a favorite hunting ground.
Broomtown Valley was named for an Indian chief, "The Broom", whose headquarters were near Alpine, Georgia. An Indian trail runs through the entire valley. 11

It is complicated and far more involved that stated in this simple aiiicle. Although the war started in 1914, it wasn't until 1917 that the United States entered when it declared war on Germany. There will be other articles about WWI appearing in future bulletins when we look at the weapons, men and animals involved in the war. There are some really great stories about the war, like the first Christmas when the troops, contrary to orders, declared an unofficial truce to celebrate Christ's bi1ih.
