Morris's first name is spelled Marris on the double tombstone he shares with his second wife. The year of his birth on the tombstone (1813) is definitely incorrect as proof exists that he married his first wife, Rebecca Young, in 1820. If he had really been born in 1813 he would have been seven years old when he married the first time! Family records passed down from his oldest child in Kentucky give his birth date as 22 Jan 1802 and his death date as 06 Jan 1885. Both of these differ from the tombstone but that is not an unusual occurrence.
