I have a MORRIS line that I'm hoping someone in Decatur/ Henderson can help me with. I'm researching the Arnold's of Benton Co., TN & my missing Arnold is: Sarah Arnold (b.1828 TN),married Robert Morris on July 10, 1850 in Benton Co., TN. (Robert is also listed in misc. marriage records as Robert Harris.) After their marriage in 1850, they left Benton Co., TN & never again appeared in the Benton Co., TN census. From other family records, I have reason to believe they may have moved to Decatur/ Henderson Co. area. At this point, ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!! I have NO further info. on this family. Robert's age & place of birth is unknown. Doris in Benton Co., TN (about 10 miles from the Decatur Co. & Henderson Co.lines.)
