              John Morgan 
            Per 
              the census records, John Morgan was born sometime between 1804-1816 
              in Delaware. It is not clear how he was related to James Morgan 
              or William Morgan but they were all members of the same Kent Co. 
              mixed blood community and of the right age to have been brothers. 
            By 
              1840, John was married with 4 children. Among these was Catherine 
              Morgan . We know nothing about John's wife, although Catherine's 
              daughter, Annie, told Weslager that Catherine's mother was a white 
              woman. 
               
              DNA testing by Catherine's 2great-granddaughter, Betty Terry, confirmed 
              that the mitochondrial DNA in the female line is indictative of 
              Northern European ancestry. 
            William 
              H. Morgan  
            William 
              H. Morgan was born in Kent Co., DE on 16 Dec 1807. His relationship 
              to John Morgan and James Morgan is not yet known but they were possibly 
              brothers.  
            Samuel 
              Morgan 
            From 
              the pension record of John Hughes, Private, Company K, 1st District 
              of Columbia Infantry, also known as 1st U.S. Colored Infantry: 
            John 
              H. Morgan stated in an affidavit dated 19 Nov 1913 that his uncle 
              Samuel Morgan had married Elizabeth Cork, an older sister of Deborah 
              Cork Hughes. He stated this marriage took place a few years prior 
              to the marriage of John Hughes and Deborah Cork. 
            From 
              Joseph Romeo: this entry from the 1850 census may relate: 
            1850 
              census, Delaware, Kent County, Little Creek Hundred, [page 69]: 
            Samuel 
              Morgan, 30, Male, Mulatto, Laborer, b DE 
              Mary, 25, Female, Mu, b DE 
              Saml, 10, Male, Mu, b DE 
            From 
              the deposition, one infers then that Samuel Morgan, b. ca. 1820, 
              is a younger brother of William Morgan, b. ca. 1804, who in turn 
              was the father of John H. Morgan. 
            The 
              name Mary in the census record does not match the name Elizabeth 
              given in the deposition, unless her full name was Mary Elizabeth. 
            James 
              H. Morgan  
            (from 
              Lynn Jackson's web site, Moors & Nanticokes) 
            Based 
              on the census records, James Morgan was born in DE sometime around 
              1821. His relationship to John Morgan and William Morgan is not 
              clear but they were all from the same mixed blood community in Kent 
              Co. and all of the correct age to be brothers.
