What a great find!! I have been unable to come up with any parents of John Nathaniel Morris until I view you blog this morning. Do you think the sons, John and Nathaniel, may have been one person John Nathaniel?? I was unable to verify the parents of Andrew Lewis Morris until about a year ago, now you have provide me with another generation. Where did you find the information on Thomas??
Bob Baker (ggg grandson of Thomas)
Bob,
Please email me at texicanwife@hotmail.com and we can share notes.
I actually located Thomas in Census records after being steered in the correct direction from online posted trees. [Yes, it is okay to use those trees to help you locate sources! I often refer to an online tree as my "Map". Once I see someone else has found a person I am researching, and they have put in possible dates and places for them, I can then go looking for the "cold, hard, facts" to either prove or disprove their posts.] And that's just how I located Thomas. He is located on the 1820 Census for Monroe County.
You asked if I thought John and Nathaniel Morris may be one and the same individual. Yes, as a matter of fact that is a theory of mine. I found Nathaniel on the 1820 Census. But no later. While I have John on the 1830 and 1840. Definitely a possibility they are the same person. I still have so very much work to do on this particular line for my children!
[I truly need 30-hour days!!!]
