MORGAN's of Nova Scotia? (late 1700's/early 1800's)?

Wondering if anybody might have MORGAN's that lived in Nova Scotia in the late 1700's or early 1800's? I'm trying to trace my MORGAN ancestors and have hit a brick wall in Nova Scotia. They may have come to Nova Scotia from England directly, or they may have been Loyalists during the Revolutionary War and ended up in Nova Scotia at war's end like many others. I think there is a good chance my line ties in with either a:

Edmund & Catherine MORGAN
or
Edward & Charlotta MORGAN

My last known MORGAN ancestor was Eliza Morgan, born 1814 in Nova Scotia to parents from Nova Scotia. She came to Ontario and married there in 1832. Both of the couples mentioned above were in the same area where Eliza lived and married in Ontario, and they were both from Nova Scotia and of age to be Eliza's parents. They were also both Methodists as was Eliza. 2 of Eliza's sons middle initials were "E", probably named after Eliza's father...of course I can't find anything that tells me what the "E" stood for, so I don't know if it might have been Edmund or Edward. There is also a John Morgan listed as a witness of Eliza's marraige. Not sure if he might have been a brother or maybe her father? I'm guess her brother since there seems to be a decent amount of evidence pointing to Edmund or Edward being her father.

Ring any bells for any MORGAN researchers in Nova Scotia? Thanks!
