Hello. I've been trying to find out more info on my great great grandfather, Elizia Morris (on death cert name spelled: Elijah MORRIS, born approx 1824 somewhere in VA, city not known. According to his death certificate he was in the civil war, USCT Infantry. E. Morris worked in the coal mines of Albia, IA until his death in approx 1891, he was buried in an unplatted grave, Oakview cemetery, IA. A widower, he raised 5 children, his wife Mary M. (last name unknown) died at the age of 44 in 1873, in Albia, IA. Some of his children were born in Macon County, MO.
I have been searching for 18 years in hopes of finding out more about his birthplace, what city of VA and his wife's people. She was said to be half Native American. I have info for people with similar names like my great great grandfather who served in the USCT, CO. K but cannot say for sure if any of them are him - Two people's names are on the monument in DC, Elisha Morris and Elsey Morris, one if which might be my gr gr grandfather. Now I have "ONLY" to find out which one or who is who!! I would still need to get info concerning their birthdates and d o d etc. I am currently working on other angles... . I'm hoping you can give me more information than I've already gathered
