"Morgan Morgan's father Charles Morgan was a descendant of Emperor Constantine of Rome who legalized Christianity. " What's the source on this? -FZ 21:14, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Theres no source to this entire article, anything could be made up. If you want to check for facts maybe you should research them and add references to this page. Honestly that segment is probably vandalism, since when did Constantine legalize christianity... RoyalMate1 22:31, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Morgan Morgan NOT the first, sorry
He can be said to be, but the claims are vitually all false. Please See West Virginia A History Vol2 by Steven Rice and Otis Brown. Mr Morgan was not in the specific area he claimed to livce when he filed the deed. There was another Church which had an earlier deed. I will provide the ref later this week.Coal town guy (talk) 17:35, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
- Updated section and will remove claim of "first white settler????"
Genealogy claims????
Morgan Morgan was to the best of my knowledge in no way related to Pierpont. Francis Pierpont was never ever ever governor of West Virginia. I removed that data. We need claims because this guy appears to have sired the entire Eastern Seaboard as well as built the first church in WV, first road etc etc etc etc. Its ALMOST total nonsense, BUT, that determination is up to the other editors on this article. I will begin to remove total spurious statementsCoal town guy (talk) 03:52, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
Morgan's land grant
>He probably received a Patent for 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) '[i]n the Forks of the Rappahannock River & Westwood of Sherrando River'
Even if this statement is valid, and for all I know it may be (I have not checked the citation) it does nothing to further the claim that Morgan settled in West Virginia at all, much less that he was the first white settler there. The Rappahannock rises below Front Royal, over 30 miles from the West Virginia border, and flows east (i.e., away from West Virginia). The Sherrando is the river now known as the Shenandoah, and it flows south-to-north along a line west of the Rappahannock (they do not meet). Morgan's patent, being only for a thousand acres, would have had to have been in what is now Warren County, Virginia -- again, well away from the border.

King Arthur reference?
Are there any real references to support this? If not, I recommend it being removed.
