Monmouthshire / Re: Rev Morgan Morgan, Ely, Bwlch Trewyn, Lewis (USA)

Hello Peter,

I am the great-great-great grandson of Morgan Morgan, descended through his son-in-law Peter Jones Lewis, which I think makes us 4th cousins once removed. My cousins in America supplied the photo on the Brynhonddu web-site. Are you descended from Lillian or Trevor Ely? I live in England and would be particularly interested to see the Morgan Morgan portrait.

Regards,

David Gam

Rev Morgan Morgan owned Bwlch House which he had purchased from the Trewyn estate c1790. He transferred the estate to his elder daughter Maria Morgan shortly before she married Rev Anthony Ely from Gloucestershire. They were the parents of Rev Edwin Ely.

Morgan Morgan's younger daughter Tirzah married Rev Peter Jones Lewis and they lived at Bwlch House for almost twenty years between 1828 and 1848. They had thirteen children in total several of whom are buried at Cwmyoy. In 1854 all the surviving members of the family emigrated to Canada, except one son, Henry Lewis, who had joined the merchant navy.

All Morgan Morgan sons who survived to adulthood were ordained into the Church of England and obtained livings in various parts of England and Wales.
