    1. [NYONEIDA-L] Peter MORRISON-NY
    2. Still having trouble finding info on parents of Peter Morrison (b. 1853, Hannibal, Oswego Co., NY) of Boonville/Forestport area. What info I do have states that his father's name was also Peter and his mother was a Marinda Powell. They were listed in the 1855 Granby, Oswego Co., NY state census as being born in St. Lawerence Co., NY. That is the only place that I have been able to find them. Peter Jr.'s marriage to Leanora Kingsbury is in the town record at Forestport, NY and it confirms that the younger Peter was born in Hannibal, Oswego Co., NY. Peter Jr. and two brothers George and Daniel are listed in the Boonville/Forestport, Oneida Co. censuses for the years 1900-1920. There is no other trace in any of the Federal censuses for their folks. My grandmother told both my mother and my aunt that her (my granny's) grandmother was a Mohawk (?) Indian. I have done a very small research into the St Regis reservation. Does anyone know if there are Powell Native Americans? Could Peter have lived on the reservation with his wife? Is this permissable? Is that why I can't find them but in one census report. Someone please help me! Thanks. Also, if you have info on Peter Jr, his wife, Leanora Kingsbury, or his brothers, George or Daniel that would be of great interest as well. Norma
