  ID: I05473
  Name: William MORRIS 1
  Sex: M
  Birth: 1722 in Liverpool, England 1
  Death: 1792 in Kanawha Co., WV 1
  Reference Number: 5473
  Note:

       The Morris family came to Kanawha in 1774, and are now found in every portion of the Valley. They have married and intermarried, until the
       original Morris blood runs in the veins of thousands of persons who reside in this portion of West Virginia. William Morris, Sr. was the first
       permanent settler of the Kanawha Valley. Walter Kelly was the first to locate the Kanawha River, but he was murdered by the Indians a few
       months after his arrival in the valley. Mr. Morris came here soon after Mr, Kell's death and purchased the Kelley's creek tract of land from the
       widow of Mr. Kelly. There were nine brothers of teh original Morris family; viz: William, or Billy as he was always called, Henry, Joshua,
       Leonard, Levi, Edmund, John, Kellis, and Benjamin. There were but two sisters, viz: Betty and Frankie. William, as stated, located at the
       mouth of Kelly's creek, where Mrs. R E Tompkins now resides. John settled on the Kanawha, opposite the mouth of Campbell's creek, five
       miles above Charleston. Edmund and Joshua secured beautiful homesteads in Teay's Valley, and the other brothers settled at different points
       along the Kanawha river. There were four "Billy Morrises," and in referring to them it was often difficult to distinguish them from each other.
       "Old Billy" had a son called "Major Billy." Carroll, a son of "Major Billy," had a son whom he called "Little Billy," who was a noted salt-well
       borer; and Edmund had a son who went by the name of "Falls Billy," because he resided at the Falls of Kanawha." "History of Kanawha
       county, West Virginia from its organization in 1789 until present time" by George W Atkinson-written in 1876.
