I am sure that each of you with a "Brick Wall" find it amazing that with all the Morrison researchers and cross-referencing; and with all the internet on-line connections we all have; that we can't find that family information we need. It is just crazy! I have been stuck for years on my John Morrison, b. c. 1801 in VA. He was in Lawrence Co., OH by 1824 when he married Sara Ankrim. Other Morrison's in Lawrence Co. at the time and of the age to have this John as a son would be: John b. c. 1776 or before Samuel b. c. 1778 or before William B. Morrison b. c.1778 or before The John Morrison b.c.1776 listed above in the 1820 Census for Lawrence Co., OH had 4 boys and 4 girls plus his wife. John was between 26 and 45 years of age. Two of his sons were between the ages of 10 and 16 years of age. One of his sons was between the ages of 16 and 26 years old. His final son was between 26 and 45. I believe he had a brother Samuel in the same area in 1820 with 8 sons and 3 daughters. Samuel was between the ages of 26 and 45 years old. Two of his sons were under 10 years of age. One son was between 10 and 16. Two of his sons were between 16 and 18. And his final three sons were between 16 and 26 years old. He had two daughters under 10. And his final daughter was between 16 and 25. I believe that William was at least one more brother with this group in Lawrence Co., OH in 1820. William was between 26 and 45 years of age. He had 4 sons and 2 daughters. He had 2 sons under 10 years old. One son between the ages of 10 and 16. And the oldest son between the ages of 16 and 26 years old. There were also in Lawrence Co in the early 1800's a Nathaniel; Joseph and Andrew. These names match very closely to the Nathaniel and Thankful Herriman families, but I can't find a connection. Also, the Samuel Morrison name is very dominant in the PA Morrison Families, but I can't find a connection. Also, the given names are similar to the Fauquier Co., VA Family names but I can't find a connection. Any thoughts out there???? Bruce
