     What's New?

• July, 2024: The family of Benjamin and Catherine Myre (Coon)/Sarah Belle (Boyd) Morris who have descendants who migrated with Morris cousins to westernmost Kentucky, Missouri, and Arkansas
• June, 2024: Filled out the Herndons (Benjamin Franklin and Clementine (Morris) Herndon). A couple of Herndon loose ends:
  1. Who are the parents of Benjamin Franklin Herndon, born 1822 in Virginia? Edmond G. and Jane R. Hopkins Herndon, early settlers of Christian County from Virginia?
  2. And, who are the parents of Martha W. Herndon, born about 1804-1808 in Virginia who married John Coon (3 or 4 children married children of Isaac and Belinda Morris). Anyone have any data on these Herndons?
• May, 2024: Morris research - I'm looking for feedback from my Morris cousins on two current puzzles:
  1. Is the Allie A. Morris who, in 1892, married William R. Pekinpaugh in Christian County, KY, also the Allie A. Morris who appears in the 1870 and 1880 censuses as daughter of Thomas J. and Emily (Coon) Morris? In 1900 census Mrs. Pekinpaugh lists father born in Kentucky and a brother, Albert Morris, is listed as 'brother' born July, 1886 in Christian County and both parents born in Kentucky (Thomas was born in Tennessee and presumed mother, Nancy Collings, was born in Indiana...)? It's
  2. Ancestry.com DNA shows us (descendants of Isaac and Belinda (Little) Morris as distant cousins to the descendants of William 'Buck' Morris (1750-1844) as near as I can tell solely because some have confabulated our Isaac (b. about 1797) with Buck's son Isaac (b. 1793; d. 1859 in NC). The last data I have on our Isaac is the 5/10/1855 birth in Christian Co., KY of daughter Myra but cousin Todd Dorsett inherited a family story that Isaac and Belinda with family owned a farm in southeastern Christian county during the Civil War... Are we linked to William C. 'Buck' Morris? My research suggests there are two distinct Isaac Morrises, born five years apart in North Carolina but Buck's son Isaac stayed in North Carolina and raised a family. 'Our' Isaac Morris went to North-Central Tennessee, married and then southern Kentucky to raise a different family. The 1850 census shows both Isaac Morris families several hundred miles apart. Other than the same given name, what facts connect our Isaac to Buck Morris? I say the evidence says there were two Isaacs and ours is not the son of William/Buck Morris
