To Earl Morrs The thing that doesn't make sense is this Elizebeth Morris and Thomas Farris both say they are born Missouri. This family is living in 1920 Dallas city, Dallas county at 612 Sunset Street. People near the top of the page are living on West Jefferson. Sunset High School is located at 2120 West Jefferson Blvd. This area is west of I35; now referred to as west Dallas. 1920 Dallas 30 j-pct; lived on Sunset Street or Ave. Farris, Thomas A., age 33 b MO MO MO (b. 1887) Leona, wife age 26 b TX TX TX Morris, Lisebeth, age 71, b MO MO MO next to her name it says Mother xxxxx - can't tell if the words to the side say "in-law" (b 1849) Do you have a list of Lizabeth's children? Back to the 1900 Wise census, Jessie Farris, female is indexed as Jossie S. Farris. Looks like Jessie to me. Maybe her name is Josephine or Josie In the 1900 Wise county census, next door to Lizabeth and Ellis, is Farris, Jessie, head, female b Jan 1847 age 53, 11 children born to this mother/9 living; b IA TN DE ((On the 1900 Elizabeth says she is born IA)) Loven, son b April 1885 age 15 son b TX Aurther, son b July 1887 age 12 b TX 1910 precinct 2, Wise County T624 Roll 1600 page 69 Morris, Ellis Alice Mamie Clifton 1910 Wise county 2nd precinct T624 Roll 1600 page 77 household 224 Morris, Lizabeth L., age 61; widow; 4 children born/4 living; b TN TN TN 1910 Wise County 2nd precinct T624, roll 1600 page 80 Farris (indexed as Ferris), Sarah J., age 64, b IA; 10 children born to this mother, 8 living b IA TN DE Arthur, son age 22 single b TX (b 1888) 1920 Montague county Morris, Ellis W. age 45 b TN Alice age 39 b AR Mamie age 15 b TX Clifton age 11 b TX Clyde age 8 b TX 1930 Vernon, Wilbarger County Morris, Ellis W., head age 55; md at age 27; b TN TN TN Alice M., wife age 49; md at age 21; b AR AR AR Clifton S. son age 21 b TX; single Clyde W son age 18 b TX; single Death Cert Ellis Worth Morris b. sep 9 1874 in Tennessee d.

Sandra, thanks a lot for this info. There are a couple of things. The fact that the 1920 census shows MO, Mo and Mo may or may not necessarily mean anything. The census taker could just have assumed that since James Farris was from Mo, they may have just assumed she was also with asking. If its the same person as in the 1900 census, they say Ia, tn, tn, yet Ellis Worth Morris shows TN Tn Tn. I'm sure the one in the 1900 census is my gg grandmother. The children of Elizabeth and Jesse M. Morris are: David Lee Morris -born in Ten 10-17-1870. died in Sentinel, Ok 9-19-1948 (moved there about 1895 or96) F.J. (Franklin Jackson) Morris, born -9-1875 in Tn. Stayed there and died in Wise cy. Buried in the Alvord cemetery. Married Minnie Lee McMath. She died in 1928, I believe it was, and he remarried Florence. W.W. Morris--born about 1874 in Tn. I haven't been able to get a handle on him. Mary Elizabeth (Lizzie), born 11-17-1878 in Tn. Married James Edward Colling, died July 5, 1953 in Olney Tx. They moved there about 1935. Ellis Worth Morris is a Grandson of Jesse Morrisk. As per the 1880 census in Haywood county, tn, Dancyville dist, his name was shown as Ellis Worth. Jesse's daughter Martha lived in the same household then at age 29, so I kind of assumed she was his mother, but not necessarily so. Can't find any reference to a Worth then as a surname, but haven't really done much checking on that part of it. As far as the death cert is concerned for E.W, it is not correct. As I said, Jesse is his grandfather, and Alice Elrod was his wife (per wise county marriage records). I have a cousin I'm in contact with who is a granddaughter of David Lee Morris. I'll give her an e-mail to see if she is aware of any Farris's in our line. She was raised in Okla same as me (unfortunately, I live in Wisc now). There is a W.N. Morris who married Cora (or Cara) Edwards, sister of James Edward Collins. I don't know if this could be ours or not. see WilliamsColey - aqwg57, if you can access. Again, thanks for your help. Just wish I were able to go down there to check some things out in person.
