I’ve just discovered this wonderful site & am just wondering…
Does anyone know if there is a photo of Isabella Morrison? I have been doing research on her husband, Daniel Harvey Hill since January but have never seen an image of her. Any information on obtaining digital letters or cc of letters from DH Hill to his wife would be most appreciated. Sadly, I am not related to the Morrisons or the Hills. Thank you

My uncle was Dr. Potter Abraham Richards. He married Margaret Frances “Peggy” Morrison. She was born 9 Apr 1906 and died 24 Feb 1970. She was from Rockbridge Co. They married 18 Sep 1937.

He practiced in the Roanoke area and they are both buried at Evergreen Burial Park.

I am looking for her ancestors and descendants.

Uncle Joe (Joseph Graham Morrison, III) passed away 6 days ago (Jan 27th, 2011). He was 99 1/2. (He emphasised that “half”) I am his neice, Martha Graham Morrison. I have just returned from the funeral in Wilmington NC. Please see the Obit below.
It was an incredibly beautiful & emotional funeral for a wonderful man, father, & friend.

Here’s an answer for Bill Pierce, even though it’s been eight months since your post! Rev. Robert Hall Morrison did have a son RH Jr. (11/27/1843-8/7/1922). He was a physician, and his wife was indeed Lucy Reid. They had one son, Rufus Reid Morrison (1/2/1883-7/21/1945),also a physician, who married Isabelle Douglas.

I’m looking for a connection between Governor Cameron Morrison and Robert Hall Morrison. Also, I’m trying to connect these two to my step great, great grandmother, Mary Emma Morrison Johnson Perry. She married my great, great, grandfather William Calvin Perry at age 15. They may have lived in the Scots Lowray community and later Davidson. Her siblings were Lee Morrison, Jenny Morrison Poke, Minnie Morrison, Alice Morrison McCrae, and Katherine (sp?) Morrison. Thanks!

HI EVERYONE, I, too, am researching the Morrison family. I am stumped by gggfather Angus (Anguish) Morrison. Another Morrison states that he was from Isle of Lewis, Scotland. His birth date is given as 1783 BUT all census reports put him as being born about 1808 and reflect his birth place as NC. He was the father of Laughlin Morrison. he may have been an indentured servant arriving in the US during the early 1800′s. He married Isabella Graham in 1830. They had 7 children. When Isabella died he moced to Florida and later married Mary Strange. They had two children, James and Angus S. Angus S. was my gmother’s father. Jo

I am trying to find out the connection of my grandmother to the Morrison family of North Carolina. When I was younger, I heard that our family is connected to the Morrisons and Stonewall Jackson through marriage. Robert Hall Morrison’s daughter Anna married Stonewall Jackson. Apparently, her brother, Robert Hall, was the husband of my grandmother’s great aunt (I think). The name Lucy Reid comes to mind but I haven’t been able to make that link. Does anyone have any information about Anna’s brother Robert. Thank you.

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
