Notes from research on Wm Morris, revised 10/2013

-Wm Morris 1810 census lived 2 houses from Milby Bunting, on same page as Arthur McCabe and Jonathan Bunting
On Ken's map, 'Community of Sandy Branch'his property is show beside Jonathan Bunting's "Friendship".

-William Morris Sr. on 8/27/1817 & wife Lydia grant to James Hickman "Addition to Perry's Lott" where Hickman now dwells 2&3/4A, witness Ebe Campbell & Selby Hickman Jr.(1810 census, nr Longs)Proved residences of witnesses indicate the location was nr Sandy Branch.
[Sussex Co. Deed Book AN, no 36, p61 folio 558] [Can not find Addition to Perry's Lot on MD plats.net but Perry's Lot is there 108A pat in 1754 by James Perry and Aaron Irons in Poplar Swamp next to William Gray. Perry sold 54A to Aaron Irons in 1767per Dryden's Land Records of Wor Co.]

-Wm. Morris Sr. wills to son Wm. "Rachel's Desire"; to sons James & Mitchell "Wm's Luck".[Will in Photos]
2 tracts mentined in LWT of William Morris [per MD plats.net - these 2 parcels do not seem to be near Selbyville:
Williams Good Luck cites Snow Hill;
Rachels Desire MD pat1737 100A Wm Rickards has no scan. 
Resurvey 1763 Wm Rickards [probably Jr.] of Rachel's Desire Enlarged 252 A, on seaside back in woods 
but no other desciptors. 
John Rickards inherited 100A Rachels Desire 1752 from fa William; in 1758; John sold his portion to brother William Jr. who had left to his sons John & William in 1778.

How did Wm Morris get "Rachel's Desire?"; I speculate that Wm's wife Lydia may have been a Rickards.
note: there was a Liddy Rickards, dau of Joseph of the senior Wm. Rickatrds. In Wm Richard's will abstract Joseph inherited 100A Richard's Desire; 
perhaps that was mis-transcribed and really was Rachels Desire. Lidda could have m Wm Morris and had dowry of some of Rachels Desire. 
Or, there could have been land sales or trades in the Rickards family that have not been found.

-Mitchell Morris (son of Wm. Sr.) 1881 wills to son Armwell "Rachel's Desire" [Will in Photos]
  adjacent to James Evens 

Mitchell m Rachel of Wm of David Murray, Sandy Branch; they are both buried in 
Morris Graveyard, 1887 and 882/3 respectively.

-Armwell Morris buried 1894: Morris Graveyard on Lewis Bunting Farm 2 m NE of Selbyville [per Tatnall]. This is the same Graveyard as the "Mitchell Morris Cemetery" identified by Joan Howard as where Walt Bunting formerly lived.

-Armwell m Charlotte Brasure (of John L. per 1860 Dagsboro census)She is in same graveyard.
