Thomas A. Morris Family Homeplace, 384 Rawls Creek Rd. Grant, Tn.
L-R:
Laura I b. 1870, James Walter b. 1875, parents-Thomas Albert Morris and
Mary Ann Gill Morris, (baby) Minnie L b. 1889, Thomas Albert "Ab" b. 1881,
Oscar F. b. 1885, Annie E. b. 1883, and Edwin S. "Ed" b. 1879.
Children omitted from picture were: William Elijah Morris b. 1866 (my line),
Mary Elizabeth b. 1869, Susan "Nelia" b. 1872 and Sarah Frances "Sallie" b. 1877.
The last child born in the family was Minnie b. 1889 and she looks to be about 2
or 3 in the picture. So I guess the picture must have been taken about 1890-92
