So I'll throw out all I know, which is almost nothing to see if anyone knows anything or can give me an idea of where to search next. My great grandmother was Ella Elmira WEIR b.29 April 1850 in Missouri; d. 18 April 1930 in Waurika, Jefferson Co., Oklahoma. She married Thomas Jackson MORRIS on 13 May 1880 and they show up in the 1880 census in Carroll Co., Missouri. I know her mother's name was Catherin but have no idea of the last name, nor her father's first name, Ella had a brother, Frank, and two sisters, Martha and Susan. They were orphaned and had to make their way in life working in the homes of other people. Ella went to work for Thomas Jackson and Elizabeth (WRIGHT) MORRIS to help with the ailing Elizabeth and care for their 10 children. After Elizabeth's death, Ella married "Mr. MORRIS" as she always called him and they went on to have 4 children of their own. Around 1895 they moved to Oklahoma Indian Territory and settled in the area now known as Ardmore, Carter Co., OK. Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
