Micajah Morris (ca 1785NC--bef 1850 Davidson Co., TN?) married 1804 Davidson Co., TN, not Wilhelmina, but HOLIBEMAH "Holly" Holt (ca 1785 NC--aft 1860 Cheatham Co., TN). He bought at the Montgomery Co., TN, 1803 estate sale of Jesse Morris in April 1803, along with Matthew, Sally, Dempsey, and John Morris. In 1811, he is listed on Capt. Dempsey Morris' Davidson Co., TN tax list. In 1816, he paid land tax in Davidson Co., TN. In 1820, he is listed as aged 36-45 on the Montgomery Co., TN census, enumerated between William COON and Reubin HOLT [who are known to have lived in extreme east Montgomery Co., near Coon Creek]. He is enumerated in 1830 in Davidson Co., TN, aged 40-50. In 1839, he bought for $15 a feather bed, and one sheet and pillow at estate sale of Reuben Holt, Sr., held by Reuben Holt, Jr., Apr 25, 1839, Montgomery Co., TN. In 1840, he is enumerated in Davidson Co., TN, aged 60-70. In 1850, Holly is listed in Davidson Co., TN age 55, with her daughter, Tabitha (Morris) Binkley, a widow. Putting the 1820 and 1830 census categories together does reveal two boys born about 1812 and about 1820 in the household.

There have to be two different Micajah MORRIS es or the "Michal" is not Mica or Micajah as I though because he is in Montgomery Co. in 1850. I will need to sort this all out but appreciate the quick help from Cleo:) Charmaine

Looking for help with James TITTLE b. abt 1810 TN who went to Carroll Co., MS and then Fannin Co., TX. May have been from the Montgomery Co., TN area as I think his wife Nancy b. abt 1818 TN likely may have been a MORRIS from Montgomery Co.
