The pedigree ends with this painting, the heraldic "achievement" of Sir William Morgan. One year after the preparation of this pedigree in 1612, Sir William became Sheriff of the county and in 1628 was a Member of Parliament. He died in 1653.
The English Civil Wars started in 1642 and the period from then until the restoration of Charles II in 1660 was one of uncertainties and divided loyalties. Some of the Morgans looked overseas for relief from the religious and constitutional squabbles. Henry Morgan set sail for the West Indies and a glorious career as a buccaneer (or perhaps more properly as a privateer).
