To set the record straight about who Abel and Enoch Morgan were and set them apart from the other Morgans in SC, I include their following short family history in case you can find some connection which I could not. See my separate Morgan blogger for some information at bottom of page. From what I can gather Enoch Morgan arrived first in the port of Philadelphia and Abel followed on Valentine's Day 1712.
The brothers were traveling Primitive Baptist preachers from Delaware (near Philadelphia) -Enoch Morgan (died March 25, 1740) and Abel (died 1722 Philadelphia where he is buried or North Carolina). They were born in and came from Wales as adults. Primitive Baptists had similar beliefs as the Quakers- equality of sexes for instance. They met in simple buildings like the Quakers and when the Quakers moved north out of the south, they often left their Meeting Houses to the Primitive Baptists. The brothers were members of the oldest Baptist Church in America founded in 1688-and is now located in Philadelphia PA.
"Enoch Morgan was born in 1676 at Alltgoch, etc.,. He was named in a list of sixteen people led by Rev. Thomas Griffith who sailed in June, 1701 from Milford Haven, Wales, aboard the "James and Mary". The group arrived in Philadelphia on the 8th of September, 1701, and settled in Pennepec, PA, but eighteen months later, moved on to New Castle County (now Delaware). When the group moved on to South Carolina in 1731, Enoch remained behind as pastor of the Welsh Tract Church in what is known as the Welsh Neck area. He died on the 20th of March, 1740, at the age of sixty-four and was buried at the Welsh Tract Meeting House on the 25th (Ref. 5).
Enoch wrote the Introduction and the Dedication for brother Abel Morgan’s Welsh Concordance (Ref. 3). Enoch and Jane Morgan had three children: Esther (born 1706), Enoch (date unknown), and Abel (born 1713)."
The church moved 1703 to Pennepack- Minister "Welsh Tract Baptist Church" New Castle County, on Delaware River.
"In the year 1706 we, and the congregation (meeting in Philadelphia and Pennepek) appointed a meeting to come together once more ...at the house of Richard Miles in Radnor, Chester County, and province of Pennsylvania, July 22, 1706…"
This document has the signatures of Joan Morgan and husband Enoch Morgan.
Enoch's father was:
Morgan Ap Rhydderg or Rhydderch Parish of Llanwenog
[also listed in books as Rhyddarch Morgan]
Birth: 1625 Death: 1680s
Morgan was baptized as an adult on 15 Oct 1667 in the River Tivey. He was an active church member preaching for many years, rising from Deacon to Minister. The king's officers ordered Morgan to stop preaching and he suffer persecution because he continued to preach. Preaching must have been in Morgan's DNA. He came from a line of preachers and had many, many known descendants that were preachers.
Spouse: married age 45 about 1670 to Jane Morgan b 1650 Wales d 1710 Colonies Find a grave site says about Jane:
Between 1685-86 she married the widower Rev. John Griffith.
Jane and the Rev. John Griffith had 2 children in Wales before they all came to America:
1. Sarah Griffith, unk-aft 1763, m. Thomas Cooch Jr, 4 ch. Wm, Elizabeth, Francis & Thomas
2. Rev Benjamin Griffith, 1688-1768, m. Sarah Miles, 5 ch. Jane, Rachel, Rev Abel, Sarah, Joseph
Jane apparently died shortly after coming to America. (Information shows that John then married a Rachel whose last name is also unknown and they had 3 children in America. They were: John, Daniel & Samuel Griffith/Griffiths)
Morgan ap Rhyddderg was the son of Rhydderch ap Dafyyd whose father was Dafydd ap Grufydd who was a writer of The Genealogies, 1664; The War in Caermarthen and a prayer for her, 1664; Complaint of Adversity.Morgan ap Rhydderg's brother Phiilip became the grandfather of General Anthony Wayne through his daughter Elizabeth who married Isaac Wayne.
Children of Morgan ap Rhyddderg and Jane unknown (could it be Jenkins?):
1. Esther Morgan b 1678 d 1754 Marriage 1 David (ap John) JONES
8 ch. here are 7- Daniel, Rachel, Morgan, James, Mary, David & Jane on Find a Grave
2. Thomas Morgan b 1672-71 was a miller and moved from Alltgoch, Llanwenog, Cardiganshire, Wales. (see Morgan on roots web )
2 known sons known:
a. Rev. Jenkins Thomas Morgan came to the Colonies
b. Rev. Abel Morgan b (1707?) came to the Colonies, married Elizabeth. Abel (like his uncle) was a Clergyman. emigrated to America, and settled in or near Phil., possibly visited New Jersey where the Walns had an estate. He was the author of the book styled, "Anti-Pado Rantism"- it's a homily, written in opposition to the sect of Ranters, or fanatical Methodists, who separated from the Wesleyans because the latter did not approve of preachers in the streets.
[Appleton says the father of Abel was "Thomas Maud Morgan," but I disagree. Abel's father was simply Thomas Morgan b. 1672- migrated to the Colonies.]
Abel and Elzabeth's known known children were: 1. Thomas Morgan who married Ann Waln (well off landed Philadelphia Quaker family) and 2. Dinah Morgan.
Thomas' father being Abel is recorded by the Quakers. Thomas became a Quaker in Philadelphia. So was his wife Ann Waln. All their children have the middle name Waln. They were the upper echelon of Philadelphia Quaker society. Child Robert Waln Morgan became a shipping tycoon and had trouble with the Quaker Meeting for having canon on his ships to protect them from pirates.
3. Abel Morgan 1673 died 16 Dec 1722 Randolph, North Carolina (buried at Pennepek Baptist Church in Philadelphia and body transferred 1860s to Mount Moriah in Philadelphia) at the age of 49. Philadelphia death given too. Abel left Wales in the fall of 1711 and landed at Philadelphia, February 14, 1712 Abel began preaching at Llanwenarth when he was nineteen years old. He was called to Blaenan Gwent in 1697, was ordained there in 1700, and remained as minister until 1711 (Ref. 2) when he left for America. While still in Wales, he married Priscilla Powell of Abergavenny, Wales, who bore him two children: daughter Jane and a son known only as "Boy Morgan" (who died at sea on the 15th of December, 1711). Abel Morgan was the main organizer of the churches at Brandywine, Westchester County, and of Montgomery. moved to Middletown, NJ. He also aided in forming the church at Hopewell in Hunterdon Co., New Jersey which is across from Bucks Co PA- above Philadelphia. He died at the early age of forty nine years, and his remains were buried in the rear of the Baptist meeting house in La Grange Place, but were moved to Mt. Moriah cemetery in Philadelphia where the remains of my own Morgans were first interred. The greatest work of Abel Morgan's life was the preparation of the Welsh Concordance of the Holy Scriptures. His wife, Priscilla Powell and an infant son died enroute to Philadelphia. A daughter, Jane, survived. Abel married Martha Burrows in 11 Nov 1714 and she died a year later in 1715. He married 7 May1717 to Judith (Griffiths) Gooding (dau of Rev Thomas Griffiths) and they had 4 children. (She remarried David Fulton.):

b. Rev. Abel Morgan b: 18 APR 1713 Abel had no children He had 2 nephews to whom he left a legacy. They were Samuel and Nathan Morgan- sons of his brother Enoch Morgan. Nathan had moved to Greenvile SC. Samuel had become a preacher like his uncle and had stayed on the house where his uncle was living, taking over the church post his uncle Abel had had. However he was also a purported drunkard and was fired by the church. Meanwhile he was also consuming Nathan's share of the legacy. Nathan hired a lawyer in Northampton Co PA thru the courts in Greenville SC to go after Samuel in Monmouth Co NJ. Nathan died in Switzerland, Indiana where he applied for Rev. War pension and received 20 dollars a month- http://revwarapps.org/s16985.pdf

Note:
Middletown is a township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. Middletown is one of the oldest sites of European settlement in New Jersey. Middletown Township was originally formed on October 31, 1693, and was incorporated as a township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. Samuel the drinker was being referred to by his brother Nathan Morgan in the above pursuit of his legacy which apparently his brother Samuel was drinking away.
The above Morgans are connected to Randall Morgan b 1710 who married in Bucks Co PA but came out of probably Gloucester NJ across the river from Bucks and is related to George Morgan b 1708 who died in Gloucester NJ. George and Randall Morgan were probably orphaned and brought up by Enoch or Abel in NJ.
The brothers were traveling Primitive Baptist preachers from Delaware (near Philadelphia) -Enoch Morgan (died March 25, 1740) and Abel (died 1722 Philadelphia where he is buried or North Carolina). They were born in and came from Wales as adults. Primitive Baptists had similar beliefs as the Quakers- equality of sexes for instance. They met in simple buildings like the Quakers and when the Quakers moved north out of the south, they often left their Meeting Houses to the Primitive Baptists. The brothers were members of the oldest Baptist Church in America founded in 1688-and is now located in Philadelphia PA.

Middletown is a township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. Middletown is one of the oldest sites of European settlement in New Jersey. Middletown Township was originally formed on October 31, 1693, and was incorporated as a township by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. Samuel the drinker was being referred to by his brother Nathan Morgan in the above pursuit of his legacy which apparently his brother Samuel was drinking away.
The above Morgans are connected to Randall Morgan b 1710 who married in Bucks Co PA but came out of probably Gloucester NJ across the river from Bucks and is related to George Morgan b 1708 who died in Gloucester NJ. George and Randall Morgan were probably orphaned and brought up by Enoch or Abel in NJ.
I have found a couple of Randles and Georges in the Flintshire area of Wales, and Chester, England. I have not been able to connect the Randle of Bucks, PA to these Morgans.
