    3. Hello List; All my genealogy roads keep leading back to Taney County. My Morris line is found in Taney County, 1850 and Ozark Co. in 1860 then they are found in Webster Co. 1870. Two doors away from the Morris family are the Cannafix family who is my John W. Morris's sister Amanda M. Morris who married Joseph Cannafix in 1868. John married Martha Embry in 1866 both marriages took place in Webster Co. Then after 1870 and before 1873 the Morris family moves back to Taney co. where John was born to Thomas and Sarah/Sally Brown? in 1847.In 1873 their son William Franklin Morris was born. Sometime after the birth of William and maybe another daughter Alice, Martha died. Leaving John W. Morris with Mary Jane, Rebecca, Sarah, William and possibly a daughter Alice, since we don't know for sure there was a daughter Alice and since she never appears on any census record, it's a question mark for sure. John Morris remarried to Caroline Honeycutte possibly in Ozark County, and then he is in Douglas County for the 1880 census he moved to Boone County Arkansas then finally to Sequoyah Co. Ok. Where he died in 1912. Ok, now what I am looking for is his sister's family. Joseph and Amanda Cannafix had one known child, at least, Sarah J. Cannafix who married Enoch Garrison in Taney County in 1887. I am trying to determine what happened to Amanda. There was a family legend, remembrance, memory or something that said John had a sister who died in childbirth in Springfield. Although John had at least three known sisters, P. J. who was born in 1850 and since she does not appear on the 1860 census one can assume she died young, then there is Amanda, and another sister Nancy J. who was born in 1857, which I have not found out if she survived or not. John's mother Sarah/Sally remarried after 1860 and is with his family as Sarah Conner on the 1870 Webster Co. Census but this daughter who would be age 13 is not on the 1870 census unless she is at home, wherever that could be and with who? I also have not found his mother after 1870. So we know Amanda had at least one child and the marriage records for Taney Co said that Sarah Cannafix married Enoch Garrison, consent was given by her father Joseph Cannafix in writing. So if anyone has any knowledge of any GARRISON/CANNAFIX connection I would be extremely interested. Nancy M. Boyd
