Notes
Residence
Several of Willis and Lettice (Attaway) Morse's sixteen children left home from Edgefield Co., SC (current day Saluda Co.) in the mid 1830's, and first settled in the areas of Bibb, Autuaga and Shelby Counties of AL. About 1846 three of the children hitched up their wagons, along with some Foshee and other families, and headed westward, stopping briefly in Mississippi and finally settled in Natchitoches and Sabine Parishes of Louisiana. The three were, John, Simeon and Aletha (who married Eli Kay).Endnotes
