As a Hall descendant I am curious as to Robert Hall Morrisons’ forebears. Was he related to any Halls – from Montgomery Co. NC, Rowan County, NC and finally Mecklenburg Co. NC. Also I am distantly related to the Potts clan of the Davidson, NC area. My branch of the Potts are mostly from lower Mecklenburg Co. (The Lower Providence community) with a number of them buried at Providence Presbyterian Church. Sue H. Marus

This is very interesting reading. I have been looking for my Morrison descendants for some time. My grandfather was James Calvin Morrison, his father was Louis Morrison who came to Ms from SC with the Floyd Winters’ family. He was said to have been raised by this family as a son. I have no other information on him. If anyone can give me any assistance in finding out who Louis’ parents were I would be grateful.
My grandfather was a tall,slender,blond hair, blue eyed man who loved music. He sang bass in a quarter all of his adult life and loved to play a mouth harp.

In response to Hazel Richard, I am the youngest son of Junius Morrison, who died in July of 1972 when I was 13 years old. My uncle, Joseph Morrison, is now 97 years old (and still driving); I just saw him at a family reunion last weekend. He now lives in Wilmington, NC. I knew they attended the camp meeting, but did not realize it was Methodist–kind of interesting since Joe was a Presbyterian minister.

Please let me know if you have any specific questions.

Best,
Bob Morrison

My husband, Ronald Wayne Smith is the son of the late Marjorie Venettia Morrison Smith, daughter of Coy Clifford Morrison, who was married at one time to Marjorie’s mother, Selma. The family was from North Carolina and I am desperately trying to find a connection to start a family tree for my children. I do not know much information, for many family members are deceased. Any info. would be helpful.

I too am a great great grandaughter of RHM, great grandaughter to JGM, grandaughter of RHM, daughter of Mary Graham Morrison Withers, and first cousin to Anne Morrison Garber…Hi Anne. I would be very interested in a reunion of the Rocky River Morrisons. I grew up in Davidson and am returning there to live. Everywhere I go I tend to meet cousins or people with “Morrison connections”. I should have listened more carefully to Papa’s lectures on the family.

Response to Hazel Richard – See Joseph Graham Morrison IV’s entry dated July 1, 2008. He is the son of Joe Morrison (my dad’s first cousin) who was a preacher and is still living in Wilmington, NC. Joe IV’s e-mail address is listed with that entry. Also, his is the first entry in this Morrison family blog.

My mother left me a full page of The Charlotte Observer from Sunday January 4, 1931.(second page of section 3) Headline: Three Sisters Become Wives of Southern Generals. The author was Ida Briggs Henderson.

We are from the James and Jennet branch of the Rocky River Morrisons.

My mother was Margaret Morrison Umberger,from Gilwood Pres, and Odell School area of Davidson, Concord, Kannapolis, et el.

I am one of the few in the Morrison clan to be named Robert.

Hey,
I need Norma Roper to contact me. I am on the same trail as she is. Locklin L. Morrison was my GGG-grandfather. Maybe the two of us can compare notes and fit puzzle pieces. Please contact me if any way possible.
