These families are brought down to the heads of families in the First Census (1790), and include the generation born about 1790 to 1800. Descendants in the male line who removed from this region are also given, if obtainable, to about 1800, unless they have been adequately set forth in published genealogies.
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.
Over a period of many years Mrs. Elizabeth Caroline Seymour Brown, early member of Linares Chapter, D.A.R., collected genealogy of her forebears. It was her wish that her work be sent to the library of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. This collection was painstakingly copied, with some additions and corrections, maintaining the same general form as used in the original notes. Elizabeth’s family originated in England moving to New England in the 1600’s. Her family lines involve many of the early lines in Connecticut, Massachusets, and New Hampshire. The families are arranged mostly in alphabetical order, and contain information from a simple direct line descendancy, to more elaborate genealogy.
