Could some one in the know get us straight on the birth date of Riley Morris? We have him born 1866 but this can not be right. in the writings below it says that they went to see him in 1880 and that she had not seen him for 32 years. This makes him born at least before 1848. It says his death would be March 1880 in Texas. Jim Montgomey In writings from William Ridgway, Ann Martha Montgomery's second husband, in an email from the ARIZARD Rootsweb mailing list sent by Peggy King Truesdell dated April 27, 2000: ". . . So, on November 18, 1877, I was married to the widow Ann Montgomery. She was a good woman, though I made a mistake for we both had children and no two sets of children will hardly ever agree. She treated me well. In 1880, we took a visit to Texas to visit her brother, whom she had not seen for 32 years. It was a happy meeting, not long for them to enjoy, for one month after we got there, he took pneumonia and died. Not long after his death in March, I came back to Arkansas. Her brother's family wanted her to stay a while. She came back in June. Her brother's name was Riley Morris, and he was a strong Primitive Baptist.
