Ronald and I started chatting about Thomas Calvin Morrison last night at the Morrison h2 yDNA group zoom meeting. We started brainstorming about what we know about Thomas Calvin Morrison and what we think possible in figuring him out.
So the next information is from Ronald and he says it is iffy, It is possible that Thomas Calvin Morrison had father Samuel Douglas Morrison. My first thought is that is an odd name for William and Rachel Witcher to have named a possible first born son. Their children were born between 1780 and 1800. Several of their sons were named after political heroes of the time. However, I can not find a Samuel Douglas in the time period. William would have been a more likely name....after Rachel's father and husband.
Yes, Samuel Douglas first appeared in Hawkins County as a witness to a will. He later married in Grainger County and then eventually moved to Warren County. All of this lends to the idea that he could have been the oldest son of William & Rachel.
When I asked Ronald if there was a document naming Samuel Douglas Morrison's wife he said:
Yes, his second wife was Anna Bragg
But there does not seem to be information about a first wife which is what I would want.
