Edward Morris Family of Wales: Born 1455

I am researching my Morris line, that I believe started with Edward Morris in Wales in 1455,Thomas b:1481,AnthonyI b:1530, Charles b:1555,Edward II b: 1580, Nicholas b:1605, AnthonyIII,b:1645,Edward III b:1665, Edward IV b: 1695, Hammond Albert b: 1733. I am descended from Hammond Morris my ggggrandfather. He was b 1733 in Reedy Branch, Farnham Parish, Richmond County VA. He was the son of Edward & Elizabeth Hammond Morris. He married Mary (Tuttle)Brown, widow of Manly Brown. They had 9 children. William, Jesse, & Travis were born in North Farnham Parish, Richmnd County, VA. Thomas, Elizabeth, John, Hammond Jr, Shadrick(my ggGrndf),& Presley were born in Prince William County, VA.
In April 1778 Hammond & Mary requested a letter from their Church "because of moving their residence". The next record of Hammond was in 1779 for a land grant on Red Bank Creek, Surry County, NC. I am very interested in locating any descendants of the Morris line. I understand that Hammond's son's Jesse & John moved to MO. Jesse lived in TN then Madison County, MO. John lived & is buried in Cooper County, Mo. If you have any information on my line please feel free to contact me. I am willing to share what information I have accumulated. My source's for the names & dates above were taken from "Folk Folklore" by W R Morris of Fancy Gap, VA & "A Morris Genealogy" by Nellie Morris Jenkins. An Original copy of her book is in W.S.Hoole Special Collection Library, University of Alabama. Other sources were from document in Archive files in VA, AL, MS, NC. some of the current information is quotes from family members who at one time had a Morris family bible. This is a work in progress if you find mistakes or data needing to corrected please contact me with supporting documentation. NOTE: Roman Numerals are for name identification only.
