He was conceivably the clergyman Rev. Edward Morgan who moved to Canada and was Canon of Barrie, Simcoe from the mid-1850s onwards.

  1. REV. CANON EDWARD MORGAN, M.A. Canon Edward Morgan came to Barrie from St. Vincent, Windward Islands, where he had been a member of the Legislative Assembly. He had read for the ministry while in charge of the family plantations, and had also studied medicine for the benefit of the slaves. Being on a visit to Canada in search of health he accepted the position of assistant to Mr. Ardagh in 1855, and they labored together in per- fect accord till Mr. Ardagh's death.
