Morgan Godwin
Morgan Godwin was an English priest in the first half of the 17th century.[1] He was born in 1602 or 1603.[2]
Godwin was educated at Christ Church, Oxford.[3] Both his father Francis Godwin (1562-1633) and his grandfather Thomas Godwin were Church of England bishops, Thomas of Bath and Wells and Francis of Llandaff and then Hereford.[4][5] Morgan Godwin's mother was the daughter of Dr. John Wolton, bishop of Exeter.[5]
Morgan Godwin held livings at Bicknor and Lydney. He was Archdeacon of Shropshire from 1631 until his death in 1645.[6] He was also a prebendary at Hereford Cathedral. Godwin was a committed Royalist who had once been Charles I’s personal priest.[4]
Godwin translated his father's book Rerum Anglicarum Henrico VIII, Edwardo VI, et Maria regnantibus annales into English during his father's lifetime.[7]
The Morgan Godwin baptised at Bicknor on 2 December 1640, who became a priest in Virginia, and argued for the conversion of African slaves and native Americans to Christianity, was his son.[8][9][4]
