2. | Jesse Morris (1.Carey1) was born about 1828 in Louisiana; died about 1866 in Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
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.

In 1910, his sister-in-law, Maggie, is still living with he and Marcella, as is their son, Winfield. Their widowed daughter-in-law, Mary Sutton Morris resided with them as well.
Casagranda notes that he was one of the pioneer merchants of Sabine County, Texas that established a business community between 1855 and 1883. He is listed as Sabine County Treasurer from 1893-1896 and was on the board of the University Trustees in 1881.
William married Maria Ragan about 1864 in Sabine County, Texas. Maria (daughter of Jubal Harper Ragan, M.D. and Martha Ann Broadway) was born about 1845; died in 1866; was buried in Hemphill City Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
