It doesn't really work like that.
That is, one cannot simply pick a name from the Dawes Roll, and then try to "connect" that person to one's own family.
The Choctaw, like the Cherokee, have a long and well documented history.
It's important to know something of that history, as well as your own family's history, in order to determine whether or not there is any possible likelihood of a connection.
Some additional information :
The FULTZ (FUTTS) and WHITTEMORE families are to be found in Warren County TN in 1880.
This census can be viewed (for free) at the LDS site.

Littleton MORRIS can be found with tis family in 1880 in Campbell Co GA.
Given that the Choctaw had ceded their lands in Alabama and Mississippi by the 1830's and removed west to IT, I think that trying to connect the Choctaw Gilbert MORRIS to your white MORRIS family from Georgia is something of a stretch.
