The reformatting of the name font and census data for this page has been completed. --John M. Gwin, Mar 2013

SOURCES:

1. The following information was copied by John Gwin from the book West Virginians in the Revolution (bibliographical information unk.), p. 205ff, and someone's typed copy thereof, as submitted by cousin Sherry Levoy to the MyFamily.com website located at http://www.MyFamily.com/isapi.dll?c=Content&att=nU3lirzcdXRrHQCUCuiTPK%2ACvPg9K2%2ACZhDFAI&htx=View&siteid=gnuHAE&contentid=ZZZZZZVG&contentclass=PICT&_ref=ContentNotify

2. Since then, I've added corroborating and expanding data from other sources such as census documents (accessed through Ancestry.com) and Findagrave.com.

3. Now, 8 Jan 2024, I'm finally trying to tie my line to that of cousin Connie Hargroder who sent me her data quite a while back.

            Carroll Morris was the son of William Mark "Billy" Morris and Catherine Carroll; he married Frances See. He was a member of the general assembly in 1805. He was also the father-in-law of John Hansford, himself a member of the general assembly from 1812 to 1816 and in 1819.
            The Department of Archives and History of West Virginia, Page 125, names Carroll Morris in Captain John Morris' Company of Rangers of Kanawha County, called into service by General Henry Knox, Secretary of War, May 1, 1791 until September 30, 1791.
            Carroll Morris lost his life at age 41 attempting to swim across the Kanawha River just below Upper Creek Shoals near Kanawha Falls. He was an excellent swimmer, but in crossing the river near the shoals, the current drew him under the water.
            Several records of the heirs of Michael See are in the County Clerk's office Kanawha County, Virginia (now West Virginia) to-wit; August 10, 1807, Deed book D, page 311:
George See, Carroll Morris and wife Frances, Michael See, Frederick See, and William See, heirs of Michael See, deceased, to Andrew Donnally--400 acres of land.

[8. Daniel Hitt Kincheloe4 Dix (Elizabeth3 Reger, Mary Sarah2 Jackson, John Jackson1 Sr.)26 was born 24 January 1828 in Upshur County, (West) Virginia26, and died 28 November 1911 in Buckhannon, Upshur County, West Virginia. He married America Young26 Bet. 1853 - 1854 in (West) Virginia26. She was born 17 September 1833 in (West) Virginia, and died 07 January 1910 in Upshur County, (West) Virginia.
        Daniel taught school for two terms. On 7 June 1850 he was ordained minister of the M. E. Church. One son and two grandsons were members of the West Virginia legislature. In 1870 he was living in Charleston, West Virginia, a Methodist Minister. Daniel was a minister.
        Obit." Dix--Rev. Daniel Hitt Kincheloe Dix passed from labor to refreshment at his home on College Avenue, in Buckhannon on the morning of November 28th, 1911; at the advanced age of eight-three years. He spent his life, until the period of labor was wholly past, in the itinerant ministry of the M.E. church. his field, if not as wide as the world, covered several states of his country. he was a good man, and sowed beside all waters, and the harvest from his labors will continue to be reaped long after the generation that has known him in his old age, will have passed away and themselves be forgotten.
        Dr. Dix attended the late session of his conference at Charleston, but was taken very ill while there and was brought home where loving hands ministered to him until he passed away. Several years ago he and his wife celebrated the golden anniversary of their marriage but she, the companion of his life, passed first to the eternal home. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. French A. Sexton, and by numerous other relatives. All who knew him will remember his gentle voice and kindly smile, and will hope to bid him good morning in the sunny land to which he has gone." (From newspaper clipping in my files)
        Obit. "Mrs. America Dix, wife of Rev. D.H. K. Dix, of our city, died last Friday at 6:30 p.m. and was buried on Sunday afternoon last. Mrs. Dix had been a sufferer for about a year, and a very great sufferer the last three or four months bearing her suffering with great fortitude. She was a sister to J.M. Young, of Charleston, having a sister also in the same city, Mrs. John Slack. She was the mother of five children, three having preceded her into the beyond. the two still living are William J. Dix, Pattonsburgh, Mo, and Mrs. Hattie E. Sexton, Buckhannon. The deceased was in her seventy-seventh year, and was married to Mr. Dix fifty-six years ago. The twain had walked together long and had experienced a very strenuous life, serving in the Methodist itinerary in this State and Iowa, doing the more difficult duties incident to frontier work the greater portion of the long years thus spent.
        Rev. Mr. Dix was seriously hurt nearly three years ago, in a fall, and has suffered from its effect all these months. Mrs. Dix proved a most faithful nurse to him through this affliction, which may possibly have hastened her own death. She was a devoted wife and a most faithful and loyal member of the church. All her friends and acquaintances speak of her in the most complimentary terms bordering even upon affection. Her funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. H.D. Clalrk assisted by Rev. W.J. Sharpes, F.H.J.King, J.M. Warden and S.D. Tamblyn.

Children of DANIEL DIX and AMERICA YOUNG are:
i. John M.5 Dix26, b. 1857, West Virginia26; d. 1892, Charleston, West Virginia26. Burial: 1892, Spring Hill Cemetery, Charleston, West Virginia26

But I was unable to turn up any connection between Margaret and Frances in my initial research, so they may not be closely related after all. Further research may connect them, however.]

According to research that was done by my grandaunt Katherine Butler many years ago, this is the way it goes!

[John M. Gwin Note--8 Jan 2024: I received the following outline several years ago from a cousin, Connie Hargroder. She and I are related through two common ancestors, William Morris and Elizabeth Stapp. Tonight I have taken the opportunity to put Connie's data into my outline format and assign generation numbers to the ancestors she sent me. Assuming that she and I are about the same age, I assigned her to generation number 28 (which is my number as well) and worked backward to William and Elizabeth, who ended up being in generation 21. This generation number 21 coincides with the one in my own outline above, so I believe it to be correct. Now I feel more comfortable beginning my own research to see if I can connect my line to hers. Using her note, above, I believe the grandaunt to whom Connie refers to be 26.07--Katherine Mildred Butler.]

Most of us have been communicating for over a year now but don't really know where we all are, how we are related to people on the tree. We might know which tree we come from but not the relationships. I put relationships to the key person on the cousins site and that would be helpful if you guys could fill me in.

ID: I05473
Name: William MORRIS 1
Sex: M
Birth: 1722 in Liverpool, England 1
Death: 1792 in Kanawha Co., WV 1
Reference Number: 5473
Note:

       The Morris family came to Kanawha in 1774 and are now found in every portion of the Valley. They have married and intermarried until the original Morris blood runs in the veins of thousands of persons who reside in this portion of West Virginia. William Morris, Sr. was the first permanent settler of the Kanawha Valley.
        Walter Kelly was the first to locate the Kanawha River, but he was murdered by the Indians a few months after his arrival in the valley. Mr. Morris came here soon after Mr, Kelly's death and purchased the Kelley's Creek tract of land from the widow of Mr. Kelly.
        There were nine brothers of the original Morris family; viz: William, or Billy as he was always called, Henry, Joshua, Leonard, Levi, Edmund, John, Kellis, and Benjamin. There were but two sisters, viz: Betty and Frankie. William, as stated, located at the mouth of Kelly's creek where Mrs. R. E. Tompkins now resides. John settled on the Kanawha, opposite the mouth of Campbell's Creek, five miles above Charleston. Edmund and Joshua secured beautiful homesteads in Teay's Valley, and the other brothers settled at different points along the Kanawha River. There were four "Billy Morrises," and in referring to them it was often difficult to distinguish them from each other. "Old Billy" had a son called "Major Billy." Carroll, a son of "Major Billy," had a son whom he called "Little Billy," who was a noted salt-well borer; and Edmund had a son who went by the name of "Falls Billy," because he resided at the Falls of Kanawha." "History of Kanawha County, West Virginia from its organization in 1789 until present time" by George W. Atkinson-written in 1876.

OBITUARY

James Paley Morris' first wife was Mary Jane Kerney (1842-1883), with whom he had six children, only two of whom survived into adulthood. With Eleanora, he had two children, only one of whom survived. There were no children issued with Delsina.
James died in Florida, and his body was sent to Carmi, Illinois, reportedly to be buried with his first wife, Mary. No FindAGrave memorial exists for her as of this date (17 Sep 2015). I have seen photographs of The Old Graveyard, and it has been through tough times. It may be that her headstone no longer exists, and I doubt that there is any government agency which has records of burials there. [RAF]
