Sandy: Note that Nimrod Morris had four males (sons ?) in the 1840 census. They would appear to be William, B. 18, Charles R. 16, John H. 7, Thomas M. 5 and Samuel T. age 2. This matches exactly the ages listed in the 1840 census. It doesn't look to me that Nimrod had a son named Enoch born in 1846. Below I have copied all the Morris names from the 1850 census of Hardin County. There does not appear to be an Enoch Morris. I stated the other day that James T. Morris of the 3rd C. D. who married Betty Polk, was a grandson of Nimrod Morris. That may not be true, I must look further, David 1840 Census, Hardin Co., TN Nimrod Morris 21020001-0020001 11th C.
