Ezekiel Morris is my husband's paternal fourth great grandfather. The son of John and Mary Morris, he was born 1744 in Berks County, PA. He married Mary Linvill in 1762 or 1767. Records show that they had 9 children.
A Revolutionary War veteran, his grave was marked with a D.A.R. bronze marker.
Note: According to findagrave member, Melanie Mann, the headstone for Ezekiel no longer exists. With a list of burials that she obtained from the local genealogical society, she recently visited the old cemetery where he is buried and found many of the headstones missing. I have an old family photo of the grave and will try to restore it so I can post it here on his memorial.
