Daniel Morgan is the name of a pirate that John Fuller took but he is believed to be the son of George Fuller and Mary Owen born in Appin, New South Wales, Australia around 1830.
In 1854 he was convicted of armed robbery, near the gold fields in Victoria, as John Smith. He was known as Smith and had another known alias of Sydney Hill but he was also known as Billy the Native, Sydney Native, Dan the Breaker, Mad Dan, Down the River Jack, Jack Morgan and, most famously, Dan Morgan.
