My Grandmother, Lula E. Morris was born in Forksville, Virginia in Mecklenburg County on July 14, 1869. She married John Robert Jones from Mecklenburg. They had three sons, George Wesley, Morris Eugene, and Edwin Clyde Jones. Lula Morris was apparently orphaned when only 5 years old and was raised by family friends. We have never known who her parents were. Just today I came across a newspaper article from 1943 writing about her death. In the article it lists Daniel Morris and Augelina Morris as her deceased Father and Mother. The article also said she had 3 sisters and one brother who had preceded her in death, but did not name them. If anyone out there knows of a Daniel Morris or Augelina Morris living in Mecklenburg County in the area of Forksville and LaCrosse, Virginia in the mid 1800's I would appreciate any information you may have. Thanks..... Wayne Jones
