Greetings All
I was surfing the web and stumbled on to this site.
I am interested in the geneology of the family and have a few insights I would like to share.
On the thread about Richard Yielding someone mentioned a relation to the Morgan family in America.
The oral stories within my own immediate family are that we are related to Revolutionary War General Daniel Morgan(VA) (whom was appointed by George Washington)and lead the Battle of the Cow Pens. In the link below it mentions that his family was Welsh and fresh off the boat.
He was the commanding officer of Meriwether Lewis also
(Lewis and Clark).
There is a history channel program about the Battle of the Cow Pens and Daniel Morgans life.

General John Hunt Morgan of Civil War fame claimed to be a direct decendent of Daniel he was born in Alabama I think.
Good to meet more Yielding's!
Ken Yielding
