Hi Earl, I checked further for the Thomas A Farris listed on the 1920 Dallas census. I can't find him in the 1930 nor a death record. I don't think that's the correct Elizabeth listed in his house, Have a great day, Sandra On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 5:09 AM, Earl Morris wrote: > Sandra, thanks very much for your help on this. I don't know if the Elizabeth found in Dallas in the 1920 census is the right one or not. The age fits. The children of Elizabeth and husband Jesse M. Morris are: David Lee Morris, married Mary Emma Grene in Wise county Franklin Jackson (Jack) Morris married Minnie Lee McMath W.W. Morris (can't find anything on him) Mary Elizabeth Morris married James Edward Collins All were born in Haywood county, Tn. The fact that the census taker showed her to be born in Mo may or may not be relavant and may have just written down the state where James Farris was born just by assuming as such. For instance, on the Ellis Worth Morris death cert, his parents were shown as Jesse and Alice. Jesse and Elizabeth raised Ellis, but he was actually their grandson, and Alice is his wife. But there are a lot of Elizabeths out there and this just may be a coincidence and its really difficult getting a handle on a lot of these without finding a death cert or funeral home info. Sorry if I've already answered, but I get a little forgetful at times. Thanks, again.
