Thank y ou Neil for your input. Don't know who James' wife was. Don't know who James was! A cousin tells me that his grandfather handed down the story that the first Morris was Albert Thomas Morris who came originally from PA. I haven't been able to find an Albert Thomas anywhere. Yes, I know about the Castellaws, Cobbs and others, as I live in the same community here, I was a Jacocks from Bertie. Reese J. Moses-S.
