My oldest documented ancestor is Thomas Morgan born about 1640, likely Newland, Gloucestershire (see pedigree on this site). His baptism and marriage are lost during the Civil War. However, I have indirect evidence that my paternal line could be that of the Morgans of Hurst (see pedigree on this site). Hurst is a manor near Lydney.
The Morgans of Hurst changed their name to Morgan-Clifford. I could confirm or disprove my postulate if I could compare the Y-DNA of a living male with the surname Morgan-Clifford with my own. Any candidates out there?
