Hi All,
There has been somuch message traffic,
I've lost track of the origintor, was it Susan, or Lee????
Regarding Breese: I have been tracking them for a few years now, and
their association with the Morris and Bebb clans. As with the Morris
and Bebbs,there are a zillion Breese's around Llanbrynmair,
Montgomeryshire circa mid-1700 to mid-1800's. Many emigrated.
First,for Lowery Breeze (or Evans) , of Hafodwen,Llanbrynmair who
married William Bebb of Rhydywarch??, MGY, brother of Edward Bebb of
Ohio - for that history order the Bebb Family History at the local LDS
(Mormon) center, film number 030707.
Lowery's parents died when she was young and she was brought up in an
Evans family. Lowery Breeze Bebb died in 1847 and was of the same family
as John Breeze of Cormathan and Llewellyn Breeze of America.
Second: Morris Family, there are hundreds stretched in a line from
Llanbrynmair to Mallwyd on the Dovey River, then down to the sea. My
family were Morris' from Mallwyd/Llanbrynmair, who married into the Bebb
clan. BTW: Do you have the red hair trait? The "red haired bandits" of
Mawddy (Mallwyd) were infamous for "taxing" travellers passing through
the mountains.
To get you started:

LDS Film 0104585 Llanbrynmair
You may wish to contact me off line on the Morris connection. Over the
centuries many of the families in the Welsh mountains were connected by
marriage.
Also, if you have not done so take a look at Malcolm's Bebb page.

Keith
