Samuel Morrison and Marcy Mayse. The father of Samuel Morrison, John Morrison, was born in Scotland and emigrated to Ireland about the time of the siege of Londonderry. He was slain there with several members of his family in a conflict between the Scotch Presbyterians and the Roman Catholic Irish. Of John Morrison’s sons, at least two came to America: Ephraim and Samuel. Samuel Morrison was born in Stewartstown, Tyrone County, Ireland, on January 5, 1701. He married Mercy/Marcy Mayse, who was also born in Stewartstown in 1716 - her parents were both Scotch. Samuel and Marcy Morrison emigrated to America in 1740, sailing on the ship “Sally of Coleraine”. Samuel was a very large and powerful man. He was over six feet tall, and weighed over 250 pounds. He was also involved in a struggle between the Irish and the Protestant Scotch. He told this story to his grandson, John Morrison:
Samuel located in Bucks County, PA and after the Revolutionary War was over, he and all of his family, several of them married by then, located on lands on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River, near the mouth of Pine Creek. This is where he spent the remainder of his life. He died at Jersey Shore, Lycoming County, PA on May 5, 1801, aged 100 years and 4 months. He and his wife Marcy, are buried in the Old Pine Creek Cemetery (also known as Davidson Cemetery). Marcy also died in Jersey Shore, Lycoming Co., PA, on October 30, 1798, aged 82. Although Marcy has a tombstone there, no inscribed stone has been located for Samuel Morrison. (see a photo of her tombstone on our Picture Page!) Samuel Morrison left a will which can be found in the Lycoming County Court House, Williamsport, PA - Book A, page 9, dated December 30, 1800. The Morrison Family research has found that most of these rugged men were self educated, attending very few schools and were very fast learners, becoming associated with people of different trades. This enabled them to go into business for themselves, building houses and bridges and becoming lawyers and influential business men. Samuel and Marcy Morrison had five sons in the Revolutionary War, something very impressive. Samuel and Marcy were staunch Presbyterians and were members of the First Pine Creek congregation. The children of Samuel and Marcy Morrison were:

Margaret Morrison and George Morrison. Margaret Morrison was born in Bucks Co. PA, in 1743. She first married George Morrison @1760. George Morrison was born @1739 and died @1775. He served as a private from PA in the American Revolutionary War. The ancestry of George Morrison is unknown, but it is known that his wife was Margaret Morrison. He settled near the mouth of Pine Creek about 1771, and died not too long after that. His burial place is unknown. It has never been learned if he died a natural death or was killed by Indians. George served as a Ranger on the Frontier from Northumberland County, PA during the Revolutionary War, which was made up mostly of men who were heads of households who dared not be gone too long from their cabins because of the dangers to their families. They often accepted scouting expeditions, and it is believed that he met his death while on one of these missions. His widow remarried 2nd to Abel Cady, who was killed by the Indians near Antes Fort one Sunday in early June 1777. Margaret then married for the 3rd time to a Mr. Young. In her father’s will of 1800, he refers to her as “my eldest daughter, Margaret Young.” The children of George and Margaret Morrison were:

21, 1855 (age 49) in an accident where an ax "fell" on

**Don't miss a picture of these two on the PICTURE PAGE! Connie Campbell and David Bennett. Connie was born in Wellsboro, PA MANY YEARS AGO. David was born in Loudon County, TN WAY BEFORE Connie! The two married in Huntsville, AL in Jun 1971. The exact date has always been a source of "debate" - as neither one can ever remember the day and proper celebration is always preceded by pulling out the old marriage certificate.....their children simply choose to ignore them during the month of June. Connie ended up in Alabama with her family in the late 1960's. Her father, Leroy R. Campbell was an accountant with General Electric and the family moved around extensively. Connie graduated high school in 1967 in Schenectady, NY but soon returned to Alabama. David was born in Loudon County, TN as his father, Paris F. Bennett, Sr. was working in the Oak Ridge, TN area at the time as a master machinist. The families permanent home, however, was in Huntsville, AL. David graduated from New Hope High School in 1965. The two still reside in Huntsville, AL on "The Bennett Pig and Chicken Ranch" high atop Green Mountain! Connie and David have three children:
