Dear listers, We've tried to locate a marriage record in both MA and RI where the two parties of the marriage were from. Samuel MORRIS was born abt 1766-1768 in RI and Charlotte MILLS was born in 1870 in MA. We know that William S. MORRIS was born in 1796 and he said on a census, that he was born in Oneida, NY. A couple of MILLS boys showed up in Madison county. If Charlotte came "West" with her brothers, she may have married in NY. Is there any chance that there might be a marriage at a church or someplace that early? Charlotte is said to have died in childbirth in 1808 when her daughter Charlotte was born. Samuel is on the 1810 Onondaga census in Pompey. His property purchase is in Madison county, right on the border. His third wife and youngest son are baptised in the Methodist church in Cazenovia in 1834. Would appreciate some leads!!
