Morris is connected to the family I am researching for my son-in-law, but I have notes on him because I thought perhaps he might be related. I have an Isabella, I.M., "Belle" Morris b. May 1873 in Missouri to a John and Young Blood Morris. She married William M. Francy in Maries County, Missouri on 26 Jan 1893. She died in Broken Arrow, Tulsa County, Oklahoma on 31 Dec 1958. I am not sure why I first hit on him, but I think it was because her second son was named Archie Donald and he was born in Dixon, Missouri. I have a listing for Arch's children with the last one being Jessie Isabell, b. 1913, d. 1917. It seems a huge coincidence to me that Arch T. and Isabella each had a child that carried the first name of the other. I am searching for any death record or gravesite for John Morris b. ca 1842 in MO and Young Blood Morris, b. ca 1842 in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have them on the 1880 Maries Census in Dry Creek. They don't show up on the 1900 census in Maries County and I have been unable to locate them anywhere else. In 1900 Isabella and William Francy and their children were living in Miller Twp., Maries County, with his parents. If you have discovered anything about Arch T. that would prove or disprove my theory, please let me know. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
