I think you have 2 different families here:-

John Worgan of Bream, married (1) Prudence, (who was buried 10 January 1725/6 Lydney). They had 2 children, Margaret bap 21 July 1720 Newland & Richard bap 20 Sept 1724 Lydney.
The above John left a WILL - dated 27 August 1747 & proved 20 May 1748
Gloucester Record Office Ref: 1748/76.
He mentions his children, Margaret & Richard & also his wife Jane. The former could be his second wife who was buried 28 Dec 1767 at Newland. BT's state surname as MORGAN, but this is the trouble with this surname, W & M are difficult to decipher in the old handwriting.

John Worgan of Yorkley, married Prudence & had William bap 1st July 1750 Lydney, would seem to me to be of the next generation.
There is also a Richard Worgan & Prudence, having a child Prudence bap 10 Feb 1751/2 at Bream. Could there be a transcription error with the Christian names of the above John & Richard? Are they one & the same?
