Records of Stewart Baldwin as found in his 1995 manuscript of Edward
Morgan's descendants showing WILLIAM BALDWIN was married to an Elizabeth.
They had lived prior in Frederick Co VA where Elizabeth Morgan migrated with
her parents from Philia Co PA. Later this couple moved to Rowan Co NC near
Squire and Sarah (Morgan) Boone. This is also where we find other orphan's
of John Morgan. One of these orphans, William Morgan, in 1767 had WILLIAM
BALDWIN as a witness for his deed for 200 A in Rowan Co NC. Bk 6 p.593 [record cited in Mc Cubbins Collection; Moberly-Morgan ]. This same WILLIAM BALDWIN was guardian for another of John Morgan's orphans while living in Frederick CO VA:

"In 1741, John Morgan (son of Edward) and his brother Joseph received a certificate of removal from the Gwynedd Meeting to the Hopewell Meeting in Frederick County Virginia, and moved there in the 1740's. One source says he acquired land in Martinsburg, but no records have been found. Martinsburg was in the northern third of Frederick County that became part of Berkeley County in 1772, and in 1863, part of West Virginia.
"Frederick County Court records show that John was deceased by 5 May 1747, and a certificate for obtaining letters of administration on the estate of John Morgan was granted to his widow Sarah Morgan, along with his daughter Sarah, his brother Joseph, and someone named James Davis.
The children of John and Sarah were: (1) Elizabeth; (2) Leah; (3) William; (4) Sarah, my ancestor; and (5) Morgan, who was an orphan after his parents died.

Sarah Lloyd
Her parents both died suddenly in Fredrick Co VA; Several of
John Morgan's children are in close proximity of his sisters family on the
Yadkin River in Rowan Co NC. Also the guardian of John Morgan's heir Morgan
Morgan, William Baldwin, also removed to Rowan Co. NC. Since he was
married to an Elizabeth, suggests he was the husband of her sister Elizabeth
Morgan.

The Morgans and Blairs were probably neighbors in Frederick, Virginia (now West VA) prior to their removal to North Carolina. Sarah was a first cousin to Daniel Boone. Her Aunt Sarah Morgan born 23 SEP 1700 in Exeter, Berkshire Co was the mother of Daniel Boone. Sarah survived her husband Colbert by 22 years. She was buried at the Guest home place, an indication that she may have lived with or near her son-in-law and daughter, Moses and Mary Guest after Colbert died.
