There is a William Morrison in the Canal Twp 1860 census, age 35, m Jane age 30.
Does anyone know if this William is the son of Gabriel Morrison and Elizabeth Swartz Morrison? Elizabeth Swartz whose father was William Swartz SR and whose brother William Swartz Jr. migrated to Kittanning area about this time frame and also moved into Jefferson and Clarion Cos.. We aren't finding the Morrisons in Mifflin Twp. Lycoming in 1850's and beyond so feel they may have come to Venango area at same time as William JR. They were farmers but also later generations Daniel Lemmon Swarts worked as manager in Oil fields briefly after his civil war service. Thus looking for the children of William Swarts (z) and Priscilla as well as Morrison family from Kittanning to Franklin. Gabriel may have died by 1840-50 and thus not in the census.
