  Lineage of Margaret Davis who married David Johnson:
  Generation No. 1
  1.    Morgan Davis was born 1622 in Lantouidvoyrde, Glamorgan, Wales, and died 15 Dec 1694, Welsh Settlement, Pennsylvania. He married Catherine Howell.

  Morgan Davis was a Quaker and sought religious freedom in the Colony founded by William Penn. The Society of Friends had taken root in Wales by 1657 and the persecution of Quakers was extremely severe throughout Wales after passage of the Quaker Act in 1662 which made being a Quaker a cause of imprisonment. The Welsh Quakers stood it all heroically, and when William Penn offered them a haven they found an honourable way of escaping the trials which seemed endless. Since they loved their old country, its language and customs, a group of them obtained from William Penn the offer cf a tract of land where they could have a new Wales, and, as they hoped, a government of their own, unmixed with alien influences. (See pp. 442-3, The Quakers in the American Colonies, by Rufus M. Jones, Isaac Sharpless, and Amelia M. Gummere, 1911).
