Gilbert Lavoy Morris and Louise Butler -- Looney Bin Project
Gilbert Lavoy Morris and Louise Butler -- Looney Bin ProjectUpdated May 9, 2007 | |
EVEN THOUGH OUR PARENTS ARE RELATED TO EACH OTHER, WE SEEM TO BE SOMEWHAT NORMAL!!!Here's our story... Nancy Jane McFerren, her husband John McCleve, and their children, emmigrated from Ireland and crossed the plains as Mormon pioneers.John McCleve died two days before arriving in Salt Lake City (1856).The next year Nancy Jane McFerren married David Ellsworth (28 Mar 1857), and they also had children. Our mother, Louise Butler, descends from Nancy Jane McFerrin and John McCleve's daughter, Margaret McCleve.Our father, Gilbert Lavoy Morris, descends from Nancy Jane McFerrin and David Ellsworth's son, Davisel Ellsworth.(P.S.Thank Heaven a few generations passed before our parents met and married!) JOIN OUR LOONEY BIN NOW!See if any of these names are in your family history: Gilbert Lavoy Morris Ancestor Surnames: Allen, Ballinger, Batchelor, Blackhurst, Booth, Cleveland, Cochran, Doyle, Ellis, Ellsworth, Franklin, Frost, Gaylord, Gordge, Gorge, Halliday, Halladay, Harding, Holiday, Hancock, Hannum, Holcomb, Hull, Hunter, Lee, Lewis, Loftus, McCracken, McFerren, McFerrin, McHarry, Martin, Morris, Parham, Presley, Steele, Stevens, Turner, Wade, Wanslee, Wansley, White, Williams, Wilson.

In addition, I am also searching the following surnames: Thurtle, Walker, Degner, Pyne. I purchased a beautiful antique photo album (with photos, names, and a brief genealogy of the Walkers) at an antique shop, and it contained those surnames.The first (living) person I find that descends from these individuals can have this photo album -- free of charge!(I know I would love to find photos of my ancestors, so that is why I will give the photos to the descendants.) | |
