MORRIS, CROSS

Searching for information on Lydia MORRIS, wife of Henry CROSS, earlysettler of Greene Co & recipient of NC Land grants in the Lick Creekarea. Family tradition has her father as Shadrack MORRIS & mother asRuth. A Shadrack Morris is also frequently found in early Greene Corecords, but his age seems more appropriate as a brother, rather thanfather of Lydia. Known children of Lydia and Henry CROSS wereShadrack, b. abt 1783, and Dorcas. In a Goodspeed interview abt1899, grandson Francis M. Cross stated that his grandparents wereboth from Maryland. If correct, this casts further doubt on ShadrackMorris as Lydia's father as he is believed to be a native ofTennessee. Would appreciate any confirmation (or debunking) ofLydia's relationship to Shadrack Morris and her birthplace - MD orTN.

I am looking for any decendants of Daniel BOWERS. I do know hemarried a Julie CANNON, Who would have been my grandmother. She diedas a young woman. Daniel had been married to other women unknownnames before Julie. He married a Mattie LEWIS after Julie. Julieand Daniel Bowers were married according to Carter County records,June 28, 1998. However, this could have been when the marriage wasrecorded. Julie died possibly around 1900-1905. My father was Danieland Julie's son...Earl was a whole brother older than my father...orso I am told, however, my father did not remember his mother. Hebelieved he was about three years old when she died. This is whatmakes me think the marriage record is recorded wrong. My fatherthought he was born October 8 1896 or 1897. Earl was possibly two orthree years older. A whole sister named Rhea or (Raid) I think shemay have married a Clayton GENTRY. There was a sister named LenaBowers who may have married a PRESLEY.
