His father remarried after his mother died he had many 1/2 siblings. HIs father was a school teacher after the war although Joseph never attended school himself, he worked on his fathers farm. Joseph left FAirfield co around 1876 to go west on his own, he never kept contact with his family and now we do not have much info to start with, he had a brother(?) who went to see him in Portland OR named John. Either William or Joseph patented a war tool but the relatives left alive are unclear on the facts of this. Only one living decendant of Joseph today Fred William MORRISON can not remember anything about his father who died when Fred was only 13. At the time Fred was born 1930 his father was 67. please write to ronda morrison ramor@gte.net Carol Swinehart cshart@greenapple.com Admistrator of OHFAIRFI-L OHFAIRFI-L@rootsweb.com Fairfield County OGS Webpage: http://www.fairfieldgenealogy.org Fairfield County Genweb: http://www.fairfieldgenealogy.org/genweb.html Searching Fairfield County Families: Swinehart, Homrighouser, Betz,Foltz,Quickel,Anspach,Spohn,Troutman,Zartman Church Archive Links: http://www.greenapple.com/~cshart/chlinks.html
