Hi Debbie, Do you happen to know what relation (if any) Elizabeth MORRIS's father, William MORRIS, was to Hugh Rice MORRIS of Amherst 'n Albemarle Cos, VA? Hugh was my 5th gr grdfather 'n I'm trying to put the puzzle pieces together for his family. Any clue would really make my day ('n my sleepless nights, too. <g>).
