" Mrs. Amy Jane Stewart was born October 5, 1878, in Sebastian Co. She was the grand daughter of J.L. Morris who was a member of Co. A. Capt. John Wilson Chism's Regiment.

He joined the Confederate Army Feb 1863 at Jefferson, Tx and served in Tx, La, and Ar." 1994 issue, page 14: "Ira Lane Morris, the father of Earl Baxter Dawson's mother, Martha, was born April 17, 1825, in Davidson Co, NC and died in October 1927, in Comanche, Tx. As a youngster, Lane helped build the first railroad in GA, between Atlanta and Chattanooga. At the age of 14, Lane helped do the dirt work for the road." 1996 issue, page 14: Amanda Francis Davis married Wylie Morris on January 27, 1904. They lived in OK. Amanda was born March 14, 1878, d/o Wilson Lumpkin Davis and Emily Francis Lipham. 1972, pages 6 & 7, "Morris Family of Sebastian Co," by Edith Morris Lemon Berry Pinkney Morris, his wife Laura Ann Chilton Morris, and their 8 children (Barclay, Carroll, Burrell, Eustacia, Fleetwood, Elizabeth, Missouri, and Virgil) moved from Tuscaloosa Co, AL to Logan Co, AR, in 1858. In 1870, they moved to the Central City, Sebastian Co area. The Central City Cemetery was originally the Morris family cemetery. This article traces only this line and does not mention any possible siblings of Berry Pinkney Morris. I also found the Morris surname in articles pertaining to Jenny Lind, Mansfield, and Huntington.
