Evelyn Smith <evelynk@bright.net> posts on the Floyd County GenConnect board on 28 Dec 1999 this message: “Following is a list of the children of John MORRIS of Floyd County, KY. I cannot tell you where I assembled all the names in the list. They are not all documented - this is a working list. I probably got them from the internet - probably from this forum. The big question is which are the children of Mary GEARHART? Which are the children of Sallie PRATER? Which are the children of Naomi HICKS? Louraney b. abt 1822; Naomi b. abt 1824; Agnes b. abt 1827; Glathia b. abt 1829; Zachariah b. abt 1830; Sarah b. abt 1832; Amy b. abt 1835; Ceatti b. Nov 4, 1834 (a child of Sallie PRATER); Biddy b. abt 1839; Ezekial b. abt 1843.”

The 1850 Floyd Census shows John Morris age 68 and Omy age 45 with children Zachariah age 20, Sarah age 18, Seatta age 16, Amy age 13, Biddy age 11, Ezekiel age 7 and house guest Robert Baldridge. (Robert would marry Sarah later in 1850.)
