Rita, I found an Edward Morris (indexed as "Marris") in the 1900 Wayne County Census. This is census listing: 1900 Wayne County, KY: ED# 126, Masonic Hall Voting Precinct, Page 6B, Household 88 Edward MORRIS (Marris), head, Jan. 1833, age 67, KY,KY,KY; married 7 years Liddy, wife, Jan. 1860, age 40, KY,KY,KY; married 7 years Thomas, son, May 1883, age 19, KY,KY,KY Mattie, daughter, Apr. 1885, age 15, KY,KY,KY Harrison, son, May 1887, age 13, KY,KY,KY Willie, son, Apr. 1891, age 9, KY,KY,KY Marshall, son, May 1900, age 1/12, KY,KY,KY Living next door in household 89 is: Drury MORRIS (Marris), head, Dec, 1856, age 44, KY,KY,KY; married 30 years Rachel, wife, Apr. 1855, age 45, KY,KY,KY; married 30 years; 8 children, 7 living Oda, son, Feb. 1884, age 16, KY,KY,KY Henry Vaughn, grandson, Apr. 1896, age 4, KY,KY,KY -------------------------------------- The 1910 Census is quite "light" and hard to read, but has the following: 1910 Wayne County, KY, ED# 222, Elk Creek Precinct, Page 5B, Household 100 Edward MORRIS, head, age 76, married 16 years; KY,KY,KY; married 3 times Lady, wife, age 55; married 16 years; KY,KY,KY; married 2 times; 5 children, 3 living Marshall, son, age 8, KY,KY,KY There is a Rufus H. Morris, age 26, and his family listed on the Elk Creek Precinct, who may be the "Harrison", son of Edward above (1900 Census), but the census record is very hard to read. The ages match. --------------------------------- On the 1870 Wayne County, KY Census there is an Edward Morris: 1870 Wayne County, KY: Number 3, Slickford District, Page 8, Household 58 Edward MORRIS, age 49, KY Polly, age 25, KY Prisilla?, age 20, KY George, age 19, KY Drury, age 16, KY John, age 12, KY Juan, age 9, KY Isaac, age 7, KY Joseph, age 4, KY If you'd like me to look up the male children for the Edward Morris (listed in the 1870 or 1880 Census) in the 1900 or 1910 Census, just let me know.
