General Notes: Husband - Guyon Morrison
He attended Jefferson College for some time, but did not graduate. He married and removed to Belmont County, Ohio, where for a time he was engaged in mercantile business. In 1836 he removed to the adjoining county of Harrison, and resided on a farm near Franklin until 1870. In that year he purchased from his brother John the homestead inheritance, in Chartiers township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. In the same year he returned to the home of his boyhood, where he resided until his death.
In a brief reference to the life of Guyon Morrison, it may be stated that from his youth he was a diligent student of science, history and literature.
In regard to public improvements and public issues, his views were liberal and progressive. In accord with the history and traditions of his kindred, he was a Whig, and, later, a Republican. In his religious belief, he was a strict constructionist. He had been reared under the ministry of Dr. John McMillan, who, during his long pastorate, had rigidly adhered to the use of the Scripture Psalms in the worship of the sanctuary. After his removal to Ohio, he became a member of the Associate Reformed Church, and retained his connection also with its successor, the United Presbyterian Church, until his death. He was chosen a ruling elder in the Associate Reformed Church of Franklin, and served in that capacity until his removal from that region. He was tolerant of the opinions and prejudices of his fellow-men. He died as he had lived, a consistent Christian.
