A posting in Ancestry.com in 2012: "Some sources list Robert arriving in New England in the year 1621 on the ship Fortune, but his name does not appear on the passenger list; being born 1601 Tredegar, Wales son of Thomas Morgan and Catherine Herbert; other sources have the son of Thomas and Catherine Herbert living in London between 1671-1676.

"Records of Salem first sees Robert in 1636 when he was given an allotment of 20 acres, he married on 27 Jan 1638 to Margaret Norman, b. abt 1620 Somersetshire, England, daughter of Richard Norman Sr and Margaret Alford. Together they had eight children: Samuel m. Elizabeth Dixey; Joseph m. Deborah Hart; Luke m. Susannah Clark; Robert died without issue; Arron died infantcy; Moses; Bethia m. Samuel Weed; Benjamin.

"Robert was admitted to the church of Salem in 1650, he baptized his sons 23 Apr 1650. In 1667 he was one of the founders for the First Parish Church of Beverly. In a deposition in 1671 he gave his age of being 70 years old.(1601 birth year fits with this). Robert died some time between 14 Oct 1672, when his will was written and signed, and 10 Dec 1672, when an inventory of his estate in Beverly was taken."

"The only source I have found so far that mentions a Robert Morgan sailing to Salem is Charles Edward Banks, author of Topographical Dictionary pg 146., who has Robert Morgan Departing from Wrington, Somersetshire, England sailing to Salem, Massachusetts, but he does not mention a year or the ships name.

"In 'A History of Salem, Massachusetts, Vol II 1638-1670' by Sidney Perley (1926), Robert Morgan is listed in 1667 as one of the 'leading men' helping to build a meeting house for a pastor named Mr. Hale before the town of Salem was founded. A Lieutenant Dixey (probably William Dixey, whose daughter Elizabeth married Robert Morgan's son Samuel was also one of these men.
