Below is the 1860 Iowa, Lucas/Benton census for my Uriah Morris, born ca 1803 in Pa. He died between the 1860 and 1870 Illinois,Warren/Monmouth census where his wife Emiline is listed as a widow.Uriah's son William was married to Margaret Miller Morris and they had one son, William Mc Cague Morris who married Inez Houston. Uriah's son Joseph is Joseph Reed Morris who married Francis Curtis and then Martha Larimer. His son Abraham W married Laura J Gilkerson, Will Co Ill. and his daughter (my great grandmother) Delila C Morris, married Luther Gilkerson (my great grandfather), Will Co Ill. Uriah's daughter Alice also married a Gilkerson.
