General Notes: Husband - Levi Lewis Morris
He was born in Wales and was brought to Crawford County, Pennsylvania, in 1811 or 1812, where he lived until his death. He was a carpenter by trade. He and his wife had five children.
He received a good old-fashioned training in the schools of the day, learned the carpenter's trade, and settled at Meadville, Pennsylvania, where he became a contractor. He was engaged in the building industry, until his health failed and he went South to recuperate. Between the years 1836 and 1838, he took the contract for the Court Houses in Yazoo and Carroll counties, Mississippi. He was taken sick with a fever at Carrollton, and died at the age of forty. [BOBLC, 235]
