I am looking for descendants/information on Charles Rice MORRISS, d.c.1866, who married Elizabeth MASON, and his two half-brothers, 1) John T. MORRISS, d.1888 Pike Co. and married to Emily Ann SCOTT in the 1830s; and 2) James Youel MORRISS, who married a daughter of David STEWART.

All three men were sons of Ewell/Youel MORRISS, c1775-c1832, of Spotsylvania Co., VA. I have more on Ewell's children including two daughters who married and came to the Pike/Ralls Co. region of Missouri. Also have more on the MORRISS ancestry including some on the wives.

James Y. settled in Pike Co., MO; John T. MORRISS settled in Ashley Twp., Pike Co., MO; Charles R. MORRISS settled in Waverley Twp., Lincoln Co., MO.

Did John T. or Charles R. MORRISS have grandchildren named Price Jackson MORRIS and Margaret "Maggie" A. MORRIS who were living on the 1870 census of Waverley Twp., Lincoln Co., MO in the household of Sarah Ann Elizabeth (WREN) MORRIS? She was either widowed or divorced and married 2nd to Charles MONAGHAN before 1873.

is the Morriss family you have listed on this forum related to my Morris line? I decend from Israel Morris from Lodoun County VA. Email me @ TinaBopperM@msn.com

Thanks, Tina

Found in the Pike County Missouri history book, 1883, page 638 and unfortunately not much information but the article makes reference to the Noix Creek Baptist Church and in a list of original members is - Morriss. The list show the first name missing but at least they were in the area. Hope this helps in some small way.

I have a Charles Monaghan 52 years old on the 1880 Pike County census he was a farmer b. in Ohio father born in Ireland and mother born in Ohio. Lived in Peno twnshp with the following in his household. S? son 26 years b. Ohio, Mary, daughter 18 b. in Ohio, Elizabeth, daughter 14 b. in Ohio, William, son 11 b. in Ohio. I am also looking for info on this man and the connection between John P. Monaghan, George Monaghan and Charles Monaghan. Charles Monaghan is buried in the Kilby Cemetery in Pike County, MO. Please contact me if you would like to correspond.

Tonya,

This is the same family. I show Charles MONAGHAN enumerated twice in 1870: Waverly Twp., Lincoln Co. on same page with my WRENs and MORRIS' and again in Hartford Twp., Pike Co.

Charles wife was Barbara, b. c. 1835-36 Ohio and their children are: John P., 16; George, 14; Samuel M., 12; Mary A., 10; Margaret J., 8; Sarah J., 6-7 (diff. age on each census); Elizabeth E., 4, James William, 2; Barbara/Barbary, 3/12 born March 1870.

I have them again in 1880, wife and youngest daughter are dead. Many of the children or gone. I believe Barbara Sr. died and Charles married or had an affair with my Sarah (WREN) MORRIS. She had Charles A. MONAGHAN in Nov. 1873. If she married Charles MONAGHAN Sr., they divorced or separated because in 1880, she's listed as MORRIS again on the census for Kaufman Co., TX.

A Charles (Uncle Charley) MONAGHAN is listed as having died in July 1893 (and before July 23rd) according to Ancestry.com's Pike Co., MO Deaths Database. It appears to be the same man.

I would like to share information.
