Let me muddy the waters a little more.It seems in the Lee County,Va area nearly everyone is kin to everyone.Here's what I have on Huffs and Morris'.
My great grandmother Rebecca Huff married James McConnell, son of Berry McConnell and Mary Ramey.I think her father was possibly Alfred Huff and his wife was possibly Patience ?.One of Rebecca and James' daughters was Louisa Patience McConnell who was my grandmother.
