I have a Jesse A Morris in Barren Co KY who died 1851; survived by wife Frances, sons: Carlton C, Jordan A, Burrell, Jesse A, s/o Lewis Morris dec'd, Rachel his dau-law, Kitty Elmore, formerly Morris, Elizabeth Elmore, formerly Morris and 1 minor daughter. Recently, found an 1826 Bedford Co VA Will for Ambrose Morris who had a son named Jesse A with other sons named in Will.
Jordan A Morris is a well known surname in Lawrence Co MO and has a reunion with 11 other allied families from the surrounding areas of Allen, Warren Co Ky and Sumner Co TN.
The 79th Morris Reunion will meet 3d Sunday September 15, 2013 Mt Vernon, MO and combines with 11 allied families who intermarried with each other. For this reason, the 12 Pioneer Families Reunion celebrates new friendships and strong family ties from double first cousins.
Jordan A Morris had a daughter Malinda Burrell, who married a E. B Hillhouse, Jr, ancestor of William Bradley Pitt. Her sister Adeline married an Allen Co KY Pruitt as well as another sister married a Pruitt sibling.A new found Morris descendant from Nancy Elizabeth Morris Springer is attending this year's reunion for their first time.
