Looking for any information (parents, siblings, other relatives) on Lemuel E. Morris - b:
1842, England. Per 1880 Census, he was working on the farm of Henry Arnold Parker and his
wife Rose Alice (Lockwood) Parker, daughter of Rufus Allen Lockwood. Sometime after the
1880 Census, Henry Parker moved to ND and remarried. Rose Alice and Lemuel are my great
grandparents. The had two sons, Lemuel E. Morris Jr and William W. Morris (my
grandfather), born in Thorntown IN. Per my grandfather, Bert Parker (James Albert Parker,
son of Henry and Rose Alice?) was also living in Thorntown IN in early 1900s and had three
children. Have extensive information on Rufus Allen Lockwood (born Jonathan Trumbull
Jessup in Greenwich CT, 2 Feb 1811), but can't seem to get past a brick wall on Lemuel
Morris. I'm beginning to think Lemuel just showed up off the boat from England and
started working on the Parker farm. Any help would be appreciated.
