Can't Sleep
Reading all this information about these men and what was going on in their lives....keeps me up at night. I can see the story in my head, getting it down on paper is another story.

Unearthed Information Leads Us
Seems each day we dig up new information about these men. They started in almost the same place, but traveled very different paths. It is very tiring and we tend to get off track. We really need to get the outline done. The information seems to be pulling us in a direction we had not anticipated.

Surprise Connection
This afternoon mom was compelled to open a file on her great grandfather on her father's side, George Haley. We are trying to stay focused on Morrison, but she felt the NEED today to pull his file. Well, good thing she did. We discovered an incredible connection in her family. Her grandfather TJM was born in Wayne Co TN in 1825 and George Haley was born in Wayne Co TN in 1827. Noone in the family every put that connection together.
Pretty cool.

Starting the process of spinning a yarn about my Great Grand Father
Shortly after my mother's 80th birthday, we decided it was time to sit down and document all the stories she had collected over the years about her grandfather, Captain Thomas Jefferson Morrison. He was just a month from turning 70 years old when my grandmother was born. Captain Morrison would live until 1 month of turning 94 years old.
Over the years, this gentle soul would share stories of Indians, Civil War, Mercantile, and Politics. My grandmother, Patience Elizabeth Coltrane Morrison was 36 years his junior. She lived until 82 years old, all the while caring for my mother Maryn "Jeff "Haley Bratton and her two sisters. My mother, Jeff was named after her grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Morrison (TJM). Jeff always had an interest in the stories her mother and grandmother would pass along about TJM.
Over the years, my mother and I would travel to Walnut Springs Texas where TJM settled after the war and raised his only living child. TJM owned several stores in town and help start churches, schools and various other businesses. We were lucky enough to meet a couple locales that remembered him in his later years and they too shared their stories.
We have his diary from the Civil War, carriage lap blanket, reading glasses, charcoal drawing of him, and family history inked for posterity. My mother had more items of his, but unfortunately, my grandmother Kate Morrison Haley married Mr. John Williams shortly before her death in San Antonio, Texas, and he kept them. Our family would never see these items again.
We now are putting everything we have gathered down on paper and plan to work up an outline soon. We are interested in telling his story, based on the information we have and what we hope to gather. It is important when telling his story, to also tell what else is going on in the country. It is almost unbelievable when you consider it was not long ago we had states at war with each other and family members on both sides of the conflict due to physical location and/or personal beliefs.
The task is daunting. We have so much information. We continue to travel in his footsteps across the states of Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas.
