    1. [ILPIKE] Morris Surname
    2. Lucy, I am sorry it has taken me forever to get this and many other lookups done. I got side tracked on my own search. Have been searching the English line in Ohio and Pike County - found a connection via the Western Illinois list ------ so............ I.N. Morris - page 396 Hon. I. N. Morris gave a high eulogy in the memory of Jackson Grimshaw. Jackson was the younger bother of Hon. Wm. A. Grimshaw. Page 398 Isaac N. Morris, of Quincy, but recently deceased, has practiced law in Pike county. Page 664 - Prominent Members of the Bar Isaac N. Morris was named as a deceased Bar member. Page 882 - Elections Election of Nov. 4, 1856 Ran as a Dem for Congress - won by 296 votes over Jackson Grimshaw who ran as a rep. Lucy, sorry there isn't any mention of his family. You might check the Thompson history book, there might be something there. I don't have that book - but there are a couple people on the list who do. Good luck in your search. Again I am sorry for such a delay in getting this done.
