I am looking for Hezekiah Morris with wife Lizzie who are living in Argentine KS. Morris was born in Indiana, about 1853. States from census records his father was French, more like German, from my research. Also wife Emma Lizzie Miller states she was born in Illinois,1881/1862 according to census info. but her father and mother were born in Virginia, more like German accd. to my research.

LDS states her father was Christian Miller/Mueller from Baden, Germany, born 1839 . He died in Pickneyville, Perry County, Illinois. He was married to Wilhemina Dehne from Germany born 1844 in Waterloo, Monroe, Illinois. Please contact me about anything you can help me with. I am trying to get Ray E Morris attached to these parents but can't seem to find him in any census records. He states on his SSI. application that these are his parents and where he was born and the year. Ray Elmer Morris, born in KS. on 7/4/1893, was my grandfather, married to Maude Lealer Norman in Florida. They lived in Gainesville, Florida. He was a bartender in the 1930's when he applied for SSI. This is on his SSI application. He is buried in Gainesville, Florida. Supposedly he was also in the circus and was a trainer for Jack Dempsey, none of which I have been able to confirm. Many thanks Linda Rowland
