Sarah Jane Morrison was the daughter of Henry Clinton Morrison and his wife, Nancy C. Simms. Sara was the youngest of the family with the following siblings--
Francis E. Morrison 1831
Margaretta G. Morrison 1834
Joseph Morrison 1838
William Alexander Morrison 1842
Robert Morrison 1844

Henry Clinton Morrison is mentioned in the book by Holcombe, "History of Greene County, Missouri". It states that Henry arrived to Ebenezer, Greene, Missouri in about 1830 or 1831, about the same time as Zachariah Simms, who was the brother of his wife, Nancy C. Sims.

Henry died in 1848. Nancy Morrison and her children were still in Jackson, Greene County, Missouri, for the 1850 Census and were enumerated on 26 Dec 1850 so she did not die in 1849 as many Ancestry trees report.

Sarah Jane Morrison was married to Louis P. Cates in 1867. A grandaughter of Louis P. Cates recorded his full name as -Louis Price Cates-. This information was written down in 1932, in Springfield, where the granddaughter had easy access to her grandmother, Sarah Jane Morrison Cates, widow of Louis P. Cates.

Louis P. Cates was the son of Joseph Dixon Cates born 1808 in Orange County, North Carolina, and his wife Edna Edney Kirk. The middle name of 'Dixon' for Joseph Cates b. 1808, came down through the family, in writing. Joseph Dixon Cates named one of his sons, Henry Dixon Cates. This son Henry, in turn, named one of his sons, Henry Dixon Cates, Jr. So obviously, the name Dixon was considered to be a very significant name in the family lineage.

The siblings of Louis P. Cates were as follows:

William Franklin Cates 1829–1896
James Wyatt Cates 1831–1862 (Union Soldier, died Civil War)
Martha Elizabeth Cates 1832– Married Samuel Ross, it is believed.
Joseph E. J. Cates 1835–1890
Henry Dixon Cates Sr. 1837–1884
Barton Murphy Cates 1842–1911
George Washington Cates 1844–(Possible Confederate soldier, Civil War.)
Lewis Price Cates 1848–1913
Thomas Jefferson Cates 1849–1924

The children of Louis Price Cates and his wife, Sarah Jane Morrison were as follows:

Clinton Columbus Cates 1868–1954
Walter Lee Willie Cates 1871–1937
William Robert Cates 1875–1925
