The movie says that Morgan's beard and scrotum were taken. Is this true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.97.255.148 (talk) 09:31, 13 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Names

edit

The article says his names were John Fuller and Dan Morgan. Why is he referred to as Owen (yes, that's his mother's name.) If he was called John Owen as a boy, when did he start to go by John Fuller?Parkwells (talk) 01:07, 13 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Article length

edit

Daniel Morgan seems like a historically interesting character but this article is way too long and detailed, surely? 2604:2D80:D380:7600:E896:C6F0:A494:EA5F (talk) 08:55, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

The comment above is an extremely nebulous statement. This article is roughly half the length of the Ned Kelly article (as a comparison). This article (rated C-class) and the Kelly article (rated B-class) are both well-written and informative, complete with appropriate citations. Based on the respective ratings, the similarity of the subject matter and the level of detail, the length of this article seems about right. Ikeshut2 (talk) 19:04, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Morgan's birth-name

edit

The claim that Daniel Morgan's birth-name was Jack 'Fuller' is highly problematic. The evidence is that he was the illegitimate son of Mary Owen. His father may have been George Fuller or possibly Samuel Moran. Also, from an early age he had a step-father named John Roberts. It seems to me that his most likely birth-name was Jack Owen (i.e., his mother's surname). Why pick 'Fuller' as his surname when his paternity is open to speculation? Even if George Fuller was his father, did Fuller have any contact with his son and Mary Owen after the birth? There is so many questions and speculative aspects about this matter, surely the safest option is to assume his likely birth-name was Jack Owen. If there is evidence to the contrary, it should be cited, rather than somebody deciding without evidence that his birth-name should be something different to his unmarried mother's surname.
