Heather, I have also been in touch with Larry Motley and it was his information that got me started. Lousia Jane Morris was her maiden name and a cousin of mine said they called her Liza Jane. I would like very much to have the picture. My grandfather William Arthur Motley also thought Louisa(his mother) was born in Ind. but I believe she was born in Ga. and they had been to Ind before moving to Mo. Louisa`s parents were born in Ala. according to the other children on the census`s I`v found. He also said his father James Henry Motley was born in Mo but he was born in Ky. I will send you information snail mail if you like.
