Morris is listed on the Dawes roll of Mississippi Choctaws enrolled by the US government. Many later moved to Oklahoma like Morris did to get their allotment of land when the government and the timber companies put an end to the Choctaw Nation. Choctaw families who had stayed in Mississippi were brought to Oklahoma in boxcars and then often cheated out of their land after the turn of the century.

Reported to have married Lizzie on February 6, 1930 in Bryan County. Also married to Martha on 1920 census at Bennington, Oklahoma.
