General Notes: Husband - Jonathan Morris

---

He was a grandson of David Morris, who emigrated to America from Wales.

Among the early settlers of western Pennsylvania was Jonathan Morris, who, soon after the Revolutionary war, came with his family from the east and settled in Washington County among the Quakers, in what is now East Bethlehem township. He had previously married a sister of Benjamin West, the famous painter. The Wests were also Quakers, and members of that family came, about the same time, to Washington County.
