I have no record of Vernon at all, in fact my father never mentioned him. Roy: ditto from Vernon, never heard of him. I wonder if Roy/Vernon may have been other (middle?) names for some of the boys? According to my dad, they were raised by Alex and Lucy Morris, Lucy was Mandos' sister. Per census reports, the family lived in the Otter River district of Campbell County. If anyone has any connections, please let me know!
