Author: John Henry Craycroft
Publication: January 1, 1942, Richmond, California
Media: Manuscript

Note: Secondary
Page: verso of page 76

Census: Date: 1857
Place: Macon Co, Il

Reference: 1427

Note: The following is a transcript taken from the verso of page 76 in "The History of the Craycroft Family from June 10, 1297 A.D.":

She was the first child of Benjamin Craycroft and Elizabeth Pate Craycroft, the last named, (Matilda's mother) married John Fouts of Walnut Hill, Illinois. This is mentioned only for identification purposes only.

Matil(da) was born in Cape Duardeau (sp) Missouri in 1837 lived there many years then moved to a place near Macon Illinois with her parents. She lived with them many years after her Mother married her second husband, John Fouts. She was making her home with them at the time she married. On this occasion she was visiting her grandmother Mrs. R.G. Pate in Beardstown Illnois. While here she met and married Mr. C. Tate Morris, and they almost immediately went to Lamarr Missouri and purchased a farm and lived there for many years, and raised a lar(g)e family. She died in Lamarr in 1879.

Their children's names as given in a family record owned by their half-uncle named John P. Craycroft, of Sedalia Missouri is 1. Sarrah Elizabeth, 2. Charles M., 3. Minnie Lemon, 4. Mytrly, 5. Leslie B., 6. Ella M., 7, Nancy Jane, 8. Franklyn C., 9. Louis A. Morris. All of these children were born in or near Lamarr Missouri, He gave not dates of any of the births. Eventually most if not all of the children moved to California, where they married too and raised familys.

This short record of Matilda West Craycroft Morris is placed in this part of the record because it has not been customary to keep the records of the female members of the family because when the women marry they do not carry the family name of Craycroft. The intention of the founders of this family record is to preserve the old family name of Craycroft created in the year of 1297 A.D. and that can only be did by the Male or Men of the family because only they carry the family name of Craycroft even aftger mariage. SIGNED JOHN P. CRAYCROFT

The following is a transcript taken from Page 78 of the History of the Craycroft Family:

Tate Morris died, but no date given. She died in 1879 in Lamar. Her children's names are Sarrah Elizabeth, Charles B., Ella May, Nancy Jane, Franklin C., and Louis A. Morris. Their children were all born in or near Lamarr Missouri. After her death the family disposed of the family holdings and moved to California, and settled in Banning, some later going to Bakersfield, Oakland, Madera, and Santa Cruz California. However most of them remained in Banning. (Author unknown)
