Hi Sharon,
Great to find another researching this same family!You say Philander may be an older brother to Augustus & Orrin; very possible, unfortunately, I have no other info than what I previously stated and that info is unproven.I have looked online and at the New England Historial Genealogical Library in Boston and can't find any other info.If you have any ideas, please let me know.My mom is a Morris, we've been working on this line for 10 yrs & haven't had much success.
Info I have:
Andrew Morris b ca 1790 CT married Polly Frost also b CT both died in Athens Twp, Bedford Co, PA before 1840. Their sons were Augustus b 1810 NY & Orrin b 1815 NY. Augustus married Hannah Elston in PA; he died in Athens Twp, Bedford Co, PA after 1860. Augustus & Hannah had 10 children, Julius (1830-1873), William (1832-1919), James (1834), Gordon (1838), Edson (1841-1880), George (1842), Julia (1843), Sarah (1844-1926), Eliza (1847) & Martha (1851). I know 4 of the children moved to IL; 3 are buried in IL; 1 in KS.
I do have an 1820 Census from Tioga, Tioga Co, NY (ancestry.com) listing Andrew Morris - head of household w/just hash marks no names, (4 marks; probably, Andrew, Polly, Augustus & Orrin).On the next line is a Philander Morris - head of household - only 2 hash marks; so probably recently married.Also a record (ancestry.com) for Polly Frost spouse Andrew Morris, stating a possible baptismal record in Stamford, CT at an Episcopal Church, I have an address, just haven't found the time to go there.(I live in Central Massachusetts.)That's all I have.My mom did buy the Frost book but I didn't find Polly in it.
