My following families were in Coryell Co. as early as 1854: William B. MORRISON and wife Mary Ann WILLIS. They came from AR and settled in Copperas Cove, but moved to Lampasas by the end of 1856. One of their sons, Mancil MORRISON was born in Coryell Co. in May 1856. Mancil married Alice Byers SMITH in Coryell Co. in Nov. 1874. John A. SMITH and wife Ann E. LEAKE. They came from Ralls Co. MO, time unknown, but also lived in Copperas Cove until moving to Hill Co. Parents of Alice, above. W.E. WILLIS, brother of Mary MORRISON, above, was in Coryell Co. in 1854. He was a surveyor. He married Eunice ?? about 1856, place unknown. William MORRISON, Jr., married Sarah C. MARTIN in Coryell Co. in Jan 1880 and their children, Lydia Pearl, Jesse and Ira, were born there between 1880-1884. They were living in Erath Co. when William died in 1889. I'll appreciate any help on these families. Jan Morrison Arlington Bobbie Ross wrote: > We have a very nice sized list for Corryell County, about 175.

Also I am still placing obituaries on line, have 631 of them so far.
