Peggy, Thank you for the look-up. I did not have this piece, I will look into the Ohio MORRIS connection. I just returned from visiting Graves County, KY where I have family from my JACKSON line. I took a quick drive down to Sharon, TN to see some of the Weakley County area. It was very interesting to put a view into some of the places I keep reading about. Thanks again for the help.
