Tombstone Tuesday: Thomas Bannister Morris

Thomas Bannister Morris (1809-1886)
Thomas Bannister Morris is the furthest back that I have been able to trace back in my Morris Family Tree. He moved his family from Graves County, Kentucky to Van Zandt County, Texas in 1858. He and his wife, Sarah (1808-1866), had, at least, seven children:

William T. Morris (1829-)
A. Morris (1833-)
Lucy Ann Morris (1835-1885)
Melissa Morris (1838-)
Elijah Newton Morris (1841-1916)
John Polk Morris (1844-1921)
T. B. Morris (1846-)

The Morris Cemetery in the community of China Grove is named after Sarah Morris.
