Hi Jean......my husband is the great grandson of your Henry Morris.....his mother was Hernry's Granddaughter, her name is Thelma Morris Richards. She is still in Illinois. But she really has no clues re. his parentage. I have been corresponding with Trudy Spanier from Hawaii and she is also tracing the family. She is related though some Buffingtons who married into the family twice to a sister and one to a Henry! I forwarded your note to her. I am not currently actively working on this family but she is still finding new tidbits for them. Good luck and if you have any questions that Trudy or I could answer, I am sure we would try our best. We aren't totally sure on the parents yet, Trudy has an idea, but we have no proof yet. Barb Richards in South Carolina Henry joined the Civil War in Kansas and then after the war he settled in Iowa for a time with his wife Sara Buffington Ellison Allen Morris.....they had her sons by previous marriages and a son of their own, James Kenneth Morris, only known son of Henry. He was my husband's Grandfather. James Kennety Morris was born in Iowa and then the family moved back to Illinois and settled in Coles County near Oakland.......Sarah died in Champaign County and Henry we believe is buried near Oakland although we can't get confirmation on that yet through the cemetery.
