I recently discovered I’m a descendant of Gideon Morris, b. abt.. 1745, supposedly in Guilford (later Randolph) County, or else I’m a descendant of someone close to him. He moved for a time to the Watauga Settlement, signed the petition to annex Watauga to N.C., and later moved to Hamblen County, TN, as one of the original families to found Morristown, TN. I am looking for information about his other family members, and origins in N.C. Can you point me to any credible resources, regarding his time in either NC or TN? I appreciate any help you can give.
