John* Morris
- Born: Abt 1785, MD
- Marriage (1): Nancy (Ann) Pollitt on 23 Aug 1825 in Somerset Co., MD 1
- Died: 12 Dec 1825, Somerset Co., MD 2 3
*John Morris was initially linked to parents Jacob and Nelly (Heath) Morris. However, Jacob, in his will only seems to account for the children of he and Nelly: Thomas, Betsey and Josiah - there is no John listed nor the children of his first wife Rebecca Pollitt. This leads this compiler to surmise that John Morris, while still a son of Jacob, was from Jacob's first marriage to Rebecca Pollitt.
John* married Nancy (Ann) Pollitt, daughter of John Pollitt and Unknown, on 23 Aug 1825 in Somerset Co., MD.1 (Nancy (Ann) Pollitt was born in 1800 in MD 4 5 6 and died 27 May 1875-11 Jan 1876 in Somerset Co., MD 7.)
