Thomas Morris was its first settler. Morris was a wealthy man who had made a clearing, settled on it and encouraged others to join him
Thomas Morris came here in 1796 and in 1797 built a house on the corner of Main and Cedar Streets
Of the two Morrises, who came in 1793 with Joshua Leland, little is known. They probably removed farther south the first season. Their brother Thomas, who came in 1797, built his first log house where Dr. Mead's store now stands, and his first frame house on the site of Otis P. Granger's. Mr. Morris did not seek political influence or office. He died April 27, 1824. His wife survived him many years.

Jan 28, 1760; m. Margaret Warren of Dudley, June 3, 1784; moved in 1796 to Hamilton (now Eaton, NY), and started a settlement, call Morrisville, from him. His family of six children grew up and settled mostly in the neighborhood of their father, and were good citizens and neighbors."
