Hi Listers: A friend, Linda Giddens, a decendant of John D. Morrison, asked me this question so I am posting it, in hopes that someone on the list could help Linda with this request. Thank you Anne Since next year will be 250 years since the first Morrison settled here, I want to do a family reunion for all the descendants of John D. Morrison. Im fine with the direct line down to me (Im seventh generation), but I havent a clue how to contact the other descendants. Linda and Murray Giddens lmgidd...@vrodinternet.com Family Reunion They could be from anywhere in North America. Captain John Morrison came here in 1760, and traded land in Truro with the Archibalds (1767). His children were Robert (1753-1795) John (1754-1821) James (1756-1842) William (1757-1776) Elizabeth (1758; married Samuel Morison) Jeremiah (1759-1842) Hannah (1761-1813) Jonathan (1763-1842) Samuel (1765-1842) What facts that are known are laid out in The Morrison Book. I am the direct descendant of - John (m. Martha Anderson) - Daniel (m. Rachel MacLellan) - Alexander Dick (m. Margaret McNutt, and later, Sarah Vance) - Joseph Howe (m. Sarah Jane Mahon) - Josephine (m. William Smith) - Frank Smith (m. Jean Sutherland) - Linda (m. Murray Giddens) Just at a guess, everyone who grew up along the shore will be related some how.

Hi Linda Can you give me some more info as to where they are from, where it is and when and any other info that can be of help and I will post it on a few geneology sites.
