They may be available from other sources as well. My responses will be posted privately since the books are copyrighted. I don't mind posting my own research to lists, but I won't post publicly someone else's hard work. And, in case anyone can lend me a hand,here's (very briefly) where I am on my MORRIS and HOLLIDAY families: James MORRIS (son of Anthony and Mary (JONES) MORRIS - came from England to Burlington, NJ in 1682) was born 1688, died 1747. Married Margaret COOK in 1709 and had surviving children James (married a TILTON?), Mary (married Cornelius EMPSON?), and Phoebe born 1720. John HOLLIDAY (birth date unknown, died before 22 June 1747) married Susannah GREENWOOD in 1723 and had several surviving children. John's son Robert (birth date unknown, died before 10 Feb. 1810) married Phoebe MORRIS (daughter of James above) in 1752 and had 2 surviving children, Susannah (born 1756, died 1815, married George WILSON 1775), and James (born 1758, died 1816 in Madison County, IL, married Amelia JONES). I have more details on dates, but my file is buried at the moment. All of the above except Anthony and Mary (JONES) MORRIS lived the majority, if not all of their lives in Kent County, DE and were active Quakers at Duck Creek Monthly Meeting. I am particularly interested in more information on James MORRIS's wife, Margaret COOK, and their descendents by James and Mary; the parents and siblings of John HOLLIDAY and Susannah GREENWOOD and their descendents by Robert's siblings; and any information on Amelia JONES and her parents and siblings. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated! Jean Schorfheide Galloway, NJ
