His parents were married in Virginia [now West Virginia], and afterward moved to Ohio, and from there to Henry County, Ind., in the spring of 1833. They s ettled on a farm north of Knightstown, where they lived the remainder of their lives. They had a family of nine children, but three of whom are living. [The living would be John, Alpheus and probabl y Julia Ann. ] John Morris was reared on a farm in Henry County, and on reaching manhood engaged in agriculture and stock raising on his own account. He is one of the most successful stock-raisers in the county. H e owns a fine farm of 210 acres, on which he lived forty years but in 1874 moved to the farm in Wayne Township, where he now lives, somewhat retired. His homestead contains fifty-five acres of choic e land, and his residence is a fine two-story frame building. Mr. Morris was married in 1845 to Hannah, daughter of Elisha Scovell, of Henry County. They have had a family of ten children, seven o f whom are living. Mrs. and Mrs. Morris are members of the Presbyterian church.Hazzard reports that after Lewis C. died in 1858, John "acquired the several interests of the heirs in the old homestea d and improved the property until in 1874 he was the owner of two hundred and twelve acres of highly improved land located where the family first settled in 1833." )."
