HENRY MORRIS, farmer, P.O. Columbus Grove, Putnam County, was twice married; first, November 20, 1866 to Nancy Palmer, by whom he had two children, Margaret V. being the only one now living, born September 24, 1869. His wife dying February 7, 1872, Mr. Morris was married, November 11, 1875, to Rachael Sherret, born January 1, 1855; daughter of Malinda (Suery) Sherret, natives of Tuscarawas County, Ohio. They have three children living: John E., David L. and Elizabeth L. Our subject’s father, Judge Henry Morris, a native of Kentucky, came to Clark County, Ohio with his parents, in 1812, when but six years of age. In the fall of 1832 he came to the farm on which his widow now lives, and where he died in 1877. It was then Putnam County, and in 1833 he was made first associate judge of the Territory, which he held three years, and then resigned to attend to home duties. He was a leader in the affairs of the community, as well as in religious matters, being a teacher for over thirty years of the doctrine of predestination. His parents were Joseph M. and Lovina (Drake) Morris, who died in Clark County, Ohio. He was married August 30, 1832 to Margaret Weaver, born May 11, 1812, in Clark County, Ohio, daughter of George and Elizabeth (Hempleman) Weaver, natives of Virginia, but very early settlers of Clark County. The children born to this union were George, living in Monroe township, this county; Mrs. Elizabeth Hartman, residing in Monroe Township, this county; Mrs. Lovina Holcomb (deceased, leaving one son, Henry M., who is now residing in Russell County, Kansas); Joseph, a physician in Columbus Grove, Putnam County, Ohio; Mrs. Sarah Crables (deceased, leaving a son, Henry M., in Russell County, Kansas, and a daughter, Mrs. Bogard in Putnam County, Ohio); Mrs. Mary Schaeffer, residing in Putnam County, Ohio; John, residing in Russell County, Kansas; Mrs. Ellen Schlosser and Mrs. Catherine Schlosser.
