William Morgan (of Rhymny)

William Morgan was a Welsh politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1640.

Morgan was probably the son of Sir William Morgan of Tredegar, MP for Monmouthshire in 1624. He studied at the Middle Temple.[1] In 1628 Morgan was elected Member of Parliament for Monmouth Boroughs and sat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years. In April 1640, he was elected MP for Monmouthshire in the Short Parliament.[2]
