pj - I hope this isn't too long to go through; if it is, could you work your magic, please? So... I logged on to Ancestry .com the other night, with the intention of canceling my subscription. To my surprise, Recent Activity led me to a Family Tree which takes my MORRIS line back at least 3 more generations, with many, many new related lines, including siblings of my g-g-g-grandfather, Spencer MORRIS. This guy provided me with the "MORRIS Geneology (sic) notes" that he received from his grandfather Lucian MORRIS, which ties the family back to England in the 1700's. Previously, we were stuck on Spencer's 1840 census entry. We suspected that Spencer had two wives, based on census records, but now we have names for them, although for the one that's my g-g-g-grandmother, it's just her last name (the owner of the tree is descended from Spencer and his second wife). Needless to say, I found a way I can afford to keep my Ancestry account. In case anyone out there may find a connection, here's the new (to us) information: Spencer MORRIS (1798 - 1868) m. (1) ??? WOODRUFF 1. Jeff 2. Liza 3. Mart 4. Caleb (1828 - 1913) my g-g-grandfather 5. Tom, b. 1830 6. Nancy, b. 1832 7. Frances, b. 1836 m. (2) Mary BURCHETT 8. John Jesus (1844 - 1926) 9.

Linda and I just plain ran out of time PJ. I thought about you, but we had to make a trip to Ms. and Memphis, and Linda had to be home to take care of the elderly Lady she watches. That is her job, and we need the money! Maybe there will be another time? I missed a few other places too. Linda did all the driving because my blurred vision handicaps my driving abilities.I drive some around here, but out on the road for a long time will not work......BR

My mail to the List is bouncing and I don't know why, so this is a test......BR

The reunion went well on Saturday Sept 25th. There were lots of Bailey, Bell and Ray cousins. Lots of good stuff to eat if a person so desired. Everywhere Linda and I stayed they fed us gravy and biscuits. Being a diabetic did not stop me! I know they meant no harm. They were just showing us how much they love us (Bless their hearts)!! Take one look at me and you can see just how well fed I am! My cousin Dave is so thin. He looks like he just got over a hook worm treatment!! HeHeHeHe! I don't know how he does it, but I stay jealous all the time!! Whenever he and I go fishing, people always come up and give him fish! They never give me any! I suppose I don't look like I need any!! Having a reunion makes you really miss the old folks. We are the "Old Folks" these days! Your cooking sounds good PJ, but I just have to stay at a distance and try to be good! I have that "Anarexia" in complete remission!......Bud Ray

Cousin Bud Ray and I were at a Bell-Ray family reunion at Paris last Saturday. It was a lot warmer then than now! I was privileged to meet some descendants of Bell cousins I knew, and some Bailey cousins I didn't know! Back home in Ga. now, it's always good to get home! I've started winding my garden down. Have pulled the peppers, tomatoes and eggplant and put them in the house. We'll see how long they last! Dave in Ga.

AND just why didn't you all come see me? I cook nearly every Sunday but even if it had been during the week or sometime.........I am so disappointed..........pj > Cousin Bud Ray and I were at a Bell-Ray family reunion at Paris last > Saturday.

(He later married Caroline Crocker, but I am curious if his first marriage certificate lists his parents names? I am searching for Isham B. Griffith’s father, and was hoping his parents might be listed on his death certificate or his first marriage certificate. I believe his father is Joseph Griffith (as I have proof that Joseph Griffith married Sally Prosize), but I have also seen a newspaper article stating that Jesse Griffith is Isham B.

Hey all, Hello from California. My Gr Gr grandparents are John Wesley COOK and Mary Ann DOUBLIN from the Boydsville area. I've got this part down fairly well. However Mary Ann DOUBLIN's brother James H. DOUBLIN married May 2/6, 1856, Weakley Co., Tennessee to M. (Martha) Elizabeth COOK (b. 1836 Kentucky). Does anyone know which Cook family Martha Elizabeth belongs to? Martha Elizabeth COOK is not a sibling to John Wesley COOK, but is probably a close relative. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan Cook
