Posted on: Harrison Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Harrison?read=647 Surname: Harrison, Morris, Lamb ------------------------- Jeni, I am interested in your Morris line in Virginia and elsewhere. My gr-gr-gr-grandfather Morris MORRIS was born in Virginia, but was in Indiana Territory, Harrison County at the turn of the 1800s, married Rebecca Wilcoxson there in 1811, pioneered in Harrison Co., Floyd County, Indiana. He homesteaded on Richland Creek in what later became Floyd County, town of Greenville. I have been unable to trace Morris MORRIS back into Virginia. A history of southern Indiana, the area where he lived, said that he was "a Welshman", born in Virginia. I don't know his father's name, nor that of his mother. Perhaps your Morris surname could hold a clue? I would appreciate hearing from you. My Harrison connection is through my LAMB surname.
