Posted on: Amherst County Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Va/Amherst/10741 Surname: Morris, Jones, Simmons, Waters, Wright ------------------------- Elizabeth Wright Morris Jones' mother has been identified as Christianna Simmons, who married William Morris in 1793 in Amherst County. Christiana's mother was Mary Waters and her father was James S. Simmons. There is probably a connection between Mary Waters and my ancestor John Waters (son of Francis Waters) and his wife Anna Wright. In my research on the Waters family, I do not find that Francis had a daughter named Mary. Since I do not know anything beyond Francis Waters, it is possible that Mary was his niece or other relative. Any help would be appreciated!
