My brick wall is John H. (possible middle initial) MORRIS who married 
Rebecca CHAPMAN on 01 Aug 1820 in Augusta Co., VA.  He was born between 
1791-1800, probably in the state of Virginia.  I have him on the 1830 and 
1840 Census of Augusta county, but he's nowhere to be found on the 1850. 
His wife, Rebecca, was the daughter of William CHAPMAN and Sarah ALPHIN 
CHAPMAN.  The CHAPMANS lived in Augusta county in Waynesborough, but 
originated from Albemarle Co., VA.
I only know of two children born to John and Rebecca MORRIS.  They were 
Jennie (spelling?) who married Dave WARD and my gg grandmother, Frances 
Jane, who married Henry K. DETTOR.  My gg grandparents were in Washington 
Co., VA in 1860 and by 1880 in Lafayette Co., MS.  Frances Jane died there 
c. 1884 and Henry died in Panola Co., MS in 1908.  I haven't a clue what 
happened to Jennie and Dave WARD.
Any help appreciated.
