The Morgans were the proprietors of Hill Farm from around 1831 (possibly earlier) until the early 1870s. Initially via Mr John Morgan and later by his son, William Morgan.
For some reason (possibly related to the death of his wife, Emma) he left the farm between 1872 and 1874, although it continued to be part-owned by Arthur Morgan until at least 1879. By 1889, the farm appeared under the sole name of Edward Powell.
The Morgans were a well-respected and apparently relatively prosperous family.
One of the daughters, Anne Elizabeth married a man who went on to become a reasonably well-known figure in the UK, Alexander Wynter Blyth. At the time of the marriage, he was a medical student at King’s College, London, and son of a GP. He went on to become one of the UK’s leading figures in the area of public health, medicine and science.
