Re: Morrison

SECRETSQUIREL681 — 2009-11-20 01:46:35Z

I am searching for information on my great great grandpartents, any information would be helpful.

My great grandfather Leonard Allen Morrison was born in Adair County Kentucky on April 27, 1890 and died April 20, 1930 in Springfield, IL. I have information that his mother was Addie (possibly Adaline) Booker (born circa December 1856 in Taylor County) and his father was Robert Arthur Morrison (born Adair County circa 1854).

I beleive that his father was George E. Morrison, a blacksmith born in Amherst VA circa 1812. My research is leading me to believe that he is the son of John King Morrison & Lucy Davis, but I do not know.

I have confirmed Leonard sibblings: Daniel Booker Morrison (1892-1960; Minnie Morrison Bragg (1885-1920); Joseph "Jodie" Morrison (1895-1936). I know he had a sister "Virgie, Virginia or Virgil (per 1900 census born 1886) and a brother Woody G. (per 1900 census born 1889) but I am unable to find any other info.

I am hopeing that others may help.

Karen: Thanks for the birthdate of Voral Elmer Bishop. However I don't believe Voral and Elmer L. are the same person.
I have Voral's rank as PFC, service #: 35810755, death date 8 Jan. 1945, attached to: 314th Inf. Regt., 79th Inf. Div. and although they are buried at the same cemetery Voral is Plot B Row 29 Grave 32.

This is very interesting. My g-g grandfather was Bartlett Eastland Campbell. My great grandfather was Samuel Dee Campbell, born in Campbellsville in 1880. His Mother was Harriet Roselthea Elder. Would like to know more about this family. Trying to figure out how the name "Barlett Eastland" was used again.

I'm also researching this family.

I'm looking for information on George and Elizabeth's daughter Cynthia. Do you know her husband's name?

I'm not an Ancestry subscriber, so I cannot contact you though your profile.
