General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Morris
David Morris emigrated to America from Wales, and married Mary Phillipine in or about the year 1685. Their home was on the west bank of the Delaware river, below Philadelphia, where their children, David, Isaac, Elizabeth, Mordecai and Jonathan, were born. The family increased rapidly and was distributed through several eastern counties of the state. A historian has stated: "Every branch of it retained the names David, Jonathan, Isaac and Mordecai. Notwithstanding the fact that they were Quakers, they took part in the Revolution, several members of the family serving throughout the war in the Continental Line."
