Jesse Morris, age 22, was living in Sabine Parish, LA, next to Martin and mary Garlington at the time of the 1850 census. Living in the Garlington household were Marys' three children from her first marriage, to Cary Morris. According to Conveyance and Succession records filed in Sabine Parish, Louisiana Martin Y and Mary Garlington were appointed to administrators to the succession of deceased Jesse Morris. (Casagranda, 1850 Census, 81). It is therefore assumed that Jesse is also a son of Mary Cook, the widow of Cary Morris who later married Martin Garlington.
