1763, May 30. There was a Lewis Morris, of Monmouth County, and Lidy Hoffmire, who had a license to marry.
81 JOHN MORRIS, son of John Morris, 34, was born Sept. 29, 1724; died May 22, 1789. It is believed he married Rebecca Cox, for a marriage license was issued, Feb. 24, 1763, to John Morris, of Middlesex County, and Rebecca Cox. She probably married, second, Mr. Chasey, for an old family Bible says: "John Morris, the son of Rebecca Chasey, was born Sept. 29, 1765." This is about two years and a half after the marriage license of John Morris and Rebecca Cox, and while the Bible does not state that John Morris did marry her, and it may be that Rebecca Chasey was a different person from Rebecca Cox, it nevertheless looks as if Rebecca Cox and Rebecca Chasey were the same person.
1744, Nov. 3. He was surety on the bond for the marriage license of Remembrance Lippincott, Jr., and Rebekah Knott.
1747, Nov. 4. He was a witness to the will of William Lippincott, of Shrewsbury, and testified at the probate of the same, Apl. 5, 1748.
1768, Aug. 22. He was a witness to the will of Adam Brewer, of Squancome.
1769. John Morris, Jr., resided at Squankum, and was, with Elazarus Brewer, an ex- ecutor of his father's estate.
There was also a John Morris to whom a marriage license was issued to marry Euphame Brindley, both of Monmouth County, Apr. 29, 1763.

84 FRANCES MORRIS, daughter of John Morris, 34, born Feb. 15, 1732-3; died Feb. 27, 1807; married, by license dated June 25, 1755, Elazerus Brewer, cordwinder, of Shrews- bury, son of Adam and his second wife, Deborah (Allen) Brewer; Samuel Lippincott, yeoman, being surety on the bond. Although the date of the license is as given above, yet the old Bible states that "John, son of Elazerus and Frances Brewer, was born Sept. 16, 1754," and this date agrees with the inscription on his tombstone, at Farmingdale. I am inclined to think, therefore, that the license was issued in 1753. Elazerus Brewer was born June 23, 1731; died Mch. 31, 1820, aged 88, 9, 8.

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
106 GENERAL JACOB MORRIS, son of Lewis Morris, 43, died, at the age of 88, in 1844. At the early age of nineteen he became a Revolutionary Soldier and served throughout that War, being favorably mentioned by General Charles Lee, on whose staff he served in the Battle of Monmouth, New Jersey, as well as distinguishing himself at Fort Moultrie in 1776. General Jacob Morris married twice; first, during the Revolution, Mary Cox, by whom he had twelve children, most of whom lived to advanced ages. He, Jacob Morris, married, second, when over seventy years old, Miss Pringle.
Lewis Morris, (the father of Jacob Morris), with his brother Richard, received a tract of three thousand acres of land in Montgomery County from the State of New York, as indem- nification for loss and damage done to their property by the British occupation of their estate in Morrisania during the Revolution. To this great tract of land, situated in the valley of the Butternuts, Jacob Morris migrated, and established his home on the thousand acre tract which was the portion of his father. Here a manor house was built, at what is now known as Morris, Otsego County, still in the possession of his descendants, and where may be found many family relics in the shape of furniture, etc.
Beautiful miniatures of Jacob Morris and his wife, taken when they were young, are in the possession of Mrs. Sidney Webster, a daughter of Hamilton Fish. One of Jacob Morris' daughters, a woman of many graces, married Hamilton Fish, who was Secretary of State under General Grant, and as an evidence of her cleverness it is said that "she left Washington without having made an enemy."
General Jacob Morris was interred in the Cemetery attached to the Morris Memorial Chapel of All Saints, which was erected in 1866, by contributions from various members of the Morris family.
