The Ivy MORRIS below is my g-gf. I'd like any info on him or his family. I'd like to know if the Morrises in the ROBERTS household are connected to Ivy and how, so need info on any of these people. Thanks for any clues or leads.

I found your inquiry interesting as I am searching for my family that came from the Escambia area. Especially since you mentioned names that I am researching. My grandmother was Lanty Roberts who married a Jeff Thompson. I remember as a young child meeting a relative that was named S.P. Morris but I don't know what the connection to the family was. If any of the following information is familar please let me know.

Great grand parents what is known
Jackson Roberts born Ga @ 1807.
Mary Butler born Ga @ 1845
Children:
Green B. (son) born Fl @ 1864
Delila (dau) born Fl @ 1866
Martha (dau) born Fl @1868
James D (son) born Fl @1869/1870
The above taken from 1870 census record
The 1880 census record for this family shows
My grandmother
Lanty Roberts born fl as age 12. Her death certificate information given by her daughter lists her birth date as 20 Feb 1871.

My grandparents known information is:
Jeff B. Thompson
Lanty Roberts, known death/burial location
Jesse Guy Thompson (son)born Fl 4 Aug 1900, my father, who according to his death certificate was born at Carrabelle Fl.
Cleave/Cleavy Thompson no further information except he never married and is buried somewhere in Duval county as I remember him as a young child
Annie Lou Thompson born Fl 15 Nov 1893 no further information except she never married and is buried known location in Duval county also remembered.

The only name you mentioned that was familiar was Green ROBERTS, but I'll have to look through my notes to find out where and why that name is familiar.

I have not yet found a connection between my g-gf Ivy MORRIS and the ROBERTS family near him in 1860 in Pensacola, but I did find some new information on the family of ***Charles M. ROBERTS and wife ***Elizabeth MORRIS ROBERTS.

Ancestry World Tree says Elizabeth Morris ROBERTS' maiden name was LACY or LACEY.

I'm still hoping to find a connection if there is one. Please let me know if you find anything, for I'm VERY interested.
