Debra, when you update your webpages, you might want to make the following changes:

1. George W.D. Perry to George Washington L. Perry - 2-22-1845 (easy to see how he got name of Washington) - 9-4-1911

2. Susan J. Morris - 1-30-1848 to 5-3-1896

2. change name of Micajah MORRIS to Marion Macajor Morris - 7-18-1852 to 1-8-1928. He married Emily F. Hughes (11-14-1852 to 2-21-1922) on 7-18-1872.

3. James Morris born 1856 to James Isaac Morris (4-6-1855 to 12-23-1938. He married Arian Brown (I do not have dob or dod on Arian. She was born ca 1859) on 12-18-1872 in Randolph Co., AL.

4. Nathan H. McLain - his name was Nathaniel William McLain (9-29-1841 to 3-11-1925).

5. Mary M. Morris - her name was Mary Ann Melvina Morris (5-12-1843-9-13-1843)

6. Elizabeth S. Morris - she died the same day as her sister Mary M. Morris according to a newspaper article one of Mary M. Morris McLain's descendants possesses. Elizabeth's tombstone was destroyed by storms or by mowing. We have not yet discovered records on her husband's dob or death.

It is important to know that Arian Brown, wife of James Isaac Morris, was the daughter of F.M. Brown (I've never discovered which F.M. Brown he was) and Martha A.C. Noel Perry. That makes Arian the half-sister to George W.L. Perry. Martha A.C. Noel's father was Richmond Noel and that's how the name Richmond got started in the Perry family lines. Too, you should remember that Rhoda Perry, dau of James Isaac Morris and Arian Brown, married her double kin relative, James Benjamin Perry, the son of GWL Perry and Susan Morris.

Hope the above is helpful to you.
