"He was born at East Hildersly, or Ilderley, near Wantage, in Berks, educated in Grammar learning at Reading, entered a Commoner in St. John's College, Oxford, 1574, or thereabouts, continued there till near Batchelor's Standing, and then he retired to the Middle Temple, where after severe encounters had with the crabbed parts of the municipal laws, he became a Barrister, and noted for his great proficiency in his profession, and integrity in his dealings. In the latter end of Queen Elizabeth, and beginning of King James, he was several times elected a Burgess, to sit in Parlia ment, in which he was a frequent speaker; afterwards he was Counsellor, and Under Steward for several years to the University of Oxford; the members of which conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts, in 1612. Two years after, he was made Serjeant-at-law, and in 1616, March 17, received the honor of Knighthood at Theobalds, from his Majesty, King James I. After his death some of his Works were published, which bear these titles, Cases collected and reported from the original in French, that then (1663) remained in the hands of Sir Jeffrey Palmer, Attorney General to King Charles the 2nd, which is the same, as I take it, written fairly with the Author's hand in fol. that was lately in the library of Arthur, Earl of Anglesey.

At length paying the last debt to nature on the 20th November, 1621, aged 63, was buried in a Vault under the Church at Great Fawley, near to Wantage, before mentioned, in which Vault his posterity (who are Baronets, living in that parish) have been since, and are hitherto interred, as I have been instructed by his grandson, Sir Henry Moore, Bart."

The pensioners have coals, candles, and medical attendance provided for them, and a small annuity allowed. After Lady Morden's decease in 1721, the manor of Wricklesmarsh was sold to Sir Gregory Page, bart. of Greenwich, and from his eventual heir, Sir Gregory Turner Page, bart. it was purchased by John Cator, esq. of Beckenham.

Amongst its members was SIR WILLIAM DE LA MORE, who was made a knight banneret by EDWARD the Black Prince, at the battle of Poictiers. He was a very considerable man in that time, and wrote the life and death of EDWARD II. and EDWARD III, which is used by Barnes and other historians of those periods.

THOMAS MORGAN, esq. of Llangattock, in the county of Monmouth, who was created a BARONET 1st February, 1660-1, for his great zeal in promoting the Restoration. He had distinguished himself, when Colonel Morgan, as one of the most successful parlia mentary leaders in the west of England; during the Protectorate he was promoted to the rank of major. general, and commanded the British auxiliary force which gained the battle of Dunkirk against the Spaniards. He became subsequently general of horse under MONK, and so high in the confidence of his commander, that Monk declared, the November preceding the return of the king, "that the presence and usefulness of Major-General Morgan, in Scotland, was so seasonable to him, that he looked upon his single person as a counterpoise to those hundred and fifty officers who had left the service or had been cashiered." He was subsequently appointed by the king, at the especial recommendation of Monk, then Earl of Albemarle, governor of Jersey, whilst his brother, Sir Henry Morgan (far better known as CAP TAIN MORGAN, the Buccaneer), was made governor of Jamaica. Sir Thomas Morgan is mentioned at great length by Falle, in the introduction to his History of Jersey, who thus concludes: "Of this brave man, I shall only add, in commendation of his great vigi lance, and care of his charge, that he never allowed himself to be long absent from it, and would sit whole days on the carriage of a cannon, hastening and encouraging the workmen employed in the new fortifications of Elizabeth Castle, which were carried on under his order and inspection. Though he fell not in battle, he may be said to have died in the bed of honour, by dying on his post, i. e. in the island, after he had put it in a better state of defence, and every way on a better military foot than it ever had been before."
