I'm trying to find direct maternal ancestors for Barbara (Barbery) Morris, b. 1879, Stone Co., Arkansas. Her mother was Elizabeth (Liza A.) Cowhorn, b. Nov 1847, AR who married James Thomas Morris, born KY 1848. Liza Cowhorn Morris lists her father born in TN and her mother b. in AR in the 1900 Cedar Co., MO census.
Since Stone Co. and Independence Co. share a border maybe she is related to your family.
