biography text
Morgan was a supporter successively of Walpole, Pelham and Newcastle. He does not appear in Fox’s list of Members favourable to the peace preliminaries and was absent from the divisions.1Add. 33000, ff. 223-4. He voted with Opposition on general warrants on 6 and 18 Feb. 1764; and was classed by Jenkinson as one who generally supported Government, but by Newcastle as a ‘sure friend’. Rockingham counted him as a friend in July 1765 and November 1766, and Townshend in January 1767 as a Government supporter. He voted with Opposition on the land tax, 27 Feb. 1767—his last recorded vote. He died 12 Apr. 1769.2Burke; Gent. Mag. 1769, p. 215 gives 11 Apr.
