Who are the parents of Susan MORRISON shown as a 15 yo on the 1850 Census in the home of Richard and Mary MORRISON in Union Twp, Lawrence Co, OH? Some have suggested she might be another dau of Richard and Mary MORRISON. Others are unsure of this. Does anyone know for sure? I've been unable to track her with certainty after the 1850 Census. Is she the same person as the Margaret S. MORRISON who married Harvey PRICHARD 1854 in Lawrence Co? And then is she the same person as the Susan PRITCHARD who married William L. BOYNTON in Lawrence Co in 1857? These have been suggested as possibilities by a couple of folks, but nothing has been verified to my knowledge. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks for the help.

Hello. I think the Richard Morrison you are referring to is my ggggrandfather and he was born ca 1797?? Richard married Malinda Travers in VA. Lived in Hagerstown,MD. Then Some where in Tennesse, then to Byron,IL. Where they separted. Malinda got the older children and Richard kept two youngest boys. I read thhis in 1850/60 census in Lawrence county,OH. Richard remarried but dont remember the ladies name. Could have been Margaret then again maybe not. Had a 15 year old granddaughter with him as well. All i have at this time. Good hunting. Viola.
Hello. Nancy do you know when Richard Morrison was born. For some odd reason i think your Richard and my Richard are the same man. Im thinking i have his year of birth being in late 1700's like 1797/9. Married Malinda Travers while both were kids. But i could be ten years off. But go to familysearch.com and type richard morrison and it will bring up richard and malinda. But my morrison men once they got married it meant now its time for running for women and every one of my morrison family did it including the women. And my mother was one of them.But they must have been careful because no children showed up or they knew what to do about it. When my last living uncle morrison was living and had cancer some place down below i Thank God his daughter had came to visit. He was living with me and he couldnt urinatebut he never told me so his dau said dad get your pants on your going to the hospital emerency room. While there the doc said " we can take your testickles off and there will be no more pain. He was 88 but he told the doc he was still active. But his dau said Father you will have the surgery im sure you have had enough in your 88 years. O.K. doll and presto they were gone. He never complained of pain and he never stopped watching every women that went by. One time my man asked if his nick ever got sore and my uncle said from what. How old was Mary or what ever you said her name was. Also the two little boys were born ca 1840-1855 where were they and do you know how old she was? Im pretty sure one was John but very unsure about the other one but maybe Charles. It also seems like Charles done time for stealing. But unsure. I could go to the pen and see. Thank you for reading if you did. Viola.
