Thomas Charles Morgan

Sir Thomas Charles Morgan (1783 – 28 August 1843) was an English physician and writer with an interest in philosophical and miscellaneous subject matter.

After the death of his first wife in 1810, he moved to Ireland with his daughter where he took a post as physician to John Hamilton, 1st Marquess of Abercorn.

[5] During Morgan's residence in Ireland he devoted much of his time and talents to the cause of Catholic Emancipation, which he advocated in the public journals and periodicals.

He was a lover of civil and religious liberty, and his homes in Dublin and London were, according to William Munk, "always open to sufferers in that cause from whatever land they came.

[5] In 1835 he was made commissioner of Irish fisheries[1] and in July published a short story called "Glimpses of Other Worlds" that told of a high pressure steam balloon that travels to the moon.

After their marriage the couple lived in Barons Court, the Abercorn seat, before eventually moving to Dublin.
