MORGAN DAVIS mid1800s, Wales, Ships Captain and slave trader. There is a monument located in Charleston SC where he owned a large parcel of the Slave trade quarters along the battery. The land was turned over to the state in late 1970's for back taxes.

Did anyone in the Morgan family come to Victoria at all? A very important question. Does the name Ridgeway mean anything? A friend has a book with Morgan Davies Ridgeway written in it.

Long time no update, but I do have a little info that may help narrow down things...

Its possible that Morgans fathers name was also Morgan Davis. Its also seems that Morgan arrived in NZ via Australia in the 1860s (he married in NZ in 1868).

Can anybody confirm if there is a Morgan Davis (born 1840-1841) with a father of the same name in the Breconshire/ Merthyr Tydfil area in 1851 and maybe still in 1861??

Any help much appreciated

Hi, I might be able to help as we are related to the family listed above in the 1851 census (Morgan and Margaret). We descend from David who settled in Victoria Australia along with two of his brothers. Their sister Charlotte settled in America. David's son Owen Vivien Davies became a dentist and settled in Dunedin NZ. David's brother Morgan did marry in New Zealand, our records say this was 1872 though, he married Elizabeth Joseph in Hokitika. They then though moved to Victoria. It is possible some of their children settled back in NZlike their cousins. Does any of this connect to the names you have?
