Morristown Connecticut

In 1911, Lucy Ann Morris Carhart published the “Genealogy of the Morris Family: Descendants of Thomas Morris of Connecticut,” providing a thorough historical account of the Morris family lineage starting from Thomas Morris, a notable shipbuilder and Puritan who immigrated from England in the 17th century. The book traces the family’s settlement in New Haven, Connecticut, detailing their significant land holdings and their expansion into other parts of Connecticut and New York. Published by A.S. Barnes Co. in New York, this work not only highlights the genealogical connections of the Morris family but also delves into the broader historical context, exploring the lives and legacies of successive generations. This comprehensive record serves as a valuable resource for descendants and historians alike, offering detailed insights into the family’s evolution and its contributions to American history.
