Talk:Morgan Bulkeley

Family background

 * Yes, according to Murphy, Crowbar Governor at 7-8, "Unfortunately (or fortunately) for the American Bulkeleys, none of the Welsh affairs pertained directly to them. Easily their most important ancestor was Rev. Peter Bulkeley, who brought the name to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635 and shortly thereafter founded the town of Concord. Peter Bulkeley’s grand- father, Thomas Bulkeley of Woore, Shropshire, England, was born in 1515—the same year as Sir Richard of Beaumaris. So if Peter Bulkeley did not descend from Sir Richard—and he did not—then neither did Senator Morgan Bulkeley of Connecticut."--Wehwalt (talk) 18:45, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
