Can anyone point me in the right direction, general area or county, where I might be able to find both MORRIS and WILKERSON families from abt 1775 - 1815 ? We have a Jesse MORRIS b abt 1775 NC who married Sarah WILKERSON b abt 1784 NC and a James MORRIS b NC who married a Nancy WILKERSON b NC Since both males are MORRIS and both females are WILKERSON, we think there is a good possibility that the MORRIS males are related and the WILKERSON females are related. But where and how ? We know that Jesse and Sarah had at least 2 ch b in NC: Susan MORRIS b abt 1813 who married 1835 in NC William McDADE b 1805. They were in TN by 1836. William MORRIS b abt 1812 who married in Fayette Co, TN in the 1840's Drucilla McDADE, sister of William McDADE. The ages for Jesse and Sarah are estimated from ages in the 1850 and 1860 Carroll Co, TN Census records. James MORRIS and Sarah WILKERSON had a son, Jessee Elender/Elander MORRIS who was also b in the 1810's. They are later found in MO and their ages are within 10 years of those for Jesse and Sarah. Any help will be most gratefully appreciated. Janice

Here are the only counties in NC that had both names in the 1790 census: Wilkerson Morris BLADEN Results: 1 Results: 1 CASWELL Results: 3 Results: 1 DUPLIN Results: 1 Results: 1 ORANGE Results: 2 Results: 4 RICHMOND Results: 3 Results: 1 It looks like Orange county might be a good place to look.
