Sandra, thanks for checking for me. You guys are great down there in Wise couinty. This is one heck of a coincidence, tho, when you think about it---that she lived next door to a Ferris in Wise county and with a Farris in Dallas. I know the one on the 1900 census is my great grandmother, or I should say my step great grandmother. My great grandfather married a Sullivan girl. She died shortly after the Civil War some say of a broken heart. One of her sons was killed during the war and another one was blinded by a bullet hiting him near his eyes (she thought both were dead so the saying goes). He then married a 2nd Sullivan girl and it is said she died in Child birth (they married in 1866). He then married a 3rd Sullivan sister and they had 4 additional kids. Its not unusual in those times to marry sisters, but 3 of them? Elizabeth could have moved up to Okla with 1 or 2 of her children. Both David Lee and J.W. (Jesse Whitfield--her sisters child) moved to Washita county in Okla. Her grandson, Ellis worth Morris moved just a tad north of Wise county and He is buried, I believe in Vernon, Tx There's all sorts of possibilities as to where she went, I guess, so I'll keep on looking. Thanks, again.
