Sir James Morgan, 4th Baronet of Llantarnam

Sir James Morgan was born in 1643 at Llanvihangel-Llantarnam, Monmouthshire, Wales in Llantarnam Abbey. He died 30 April 1718 in Wales.

James was the younger son of Sir Edward Morgan, 1st Baronet of Llantarnam and was the last Baronet of Llantarnam, as his surviving heirs immigrated to America.

Upon the death of his nephew, Sir James Morgan inherited the Baronet title, but not his nephew's estate. His nephew, Sir Edward Morgan considered him "a violent zealot" for the Church of Rome and was careful to provide against his succeeding to the estate. Sir James was the last to hold the Baronet title and Sir Edward's estate went to his own daughter Frances (Morgan) Bray.
