Capt. Morris

Biography

Marriage		Capt. Morris and Keran-Happuch 'Katy' Redman were married, date unknown. Currey mentions this marriage, and says they lived on Staten Island and had a daughter Louisa. Morris was a sea captain and died at sea.1
Death	1 May 1799	He died on 1 May 1799 in Norfolk, Virginia,
Newspaper Mention	11 May 1799	The 11 May 1799 edition of the The North American, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, reported Norfolk News, May 4: "On Wednesday last a schooner was upset in Hampton Roads. The particulars, from what we have been able to learn are, that Capt. Morris (of the English brig Charlotte, now in this harbour) had hired the schooner to carry him up Nansemond river; in coming back was overtaken about 6 miles below Craney Island by a violent squall, and before the sails could be taken in, she filled and went down. They clung to the mast heads,where they remained for three hours. Capt. Morris feeling little chance of saving their lives, undertook to swim to the windward shore, which was three miles distant, but he had not got farther than a mile from the schooner when his strength failed him, and he was drowned. Fortunately for the survivors, a schooner from Smithfield came just in time to prevent their meeting a similar fate." This same article was reprinted in the Poughkeepsie Journal, 21 May 1799, p. 3. There is a short note in the Aberdeen Journal and General Advertiser, of 9 Sep 1799, p. 3, in the section "Intelligence from Lloyd's": The Charlotte, Late Morris, from Virginia to Martinico, is captured by La Conquest privateer, and carried into St. Thomas's. In April, The North American mentioned the brig Franklin, of and from Philadelphia, Capt. Morris. That was probably R.V. Morris (see below), USS Franklin (1795), an 8-gun brig built in 1795, captured by corsairs from Tripoli in 1802, bought back by the United States Navy in 1805, and sold in 1807 Wikipedia list of ships named Charlotte has only one early enough: Charlotte (1784) - an English full-rigged ship built in the River Thames and chartered in 1786 to carry convicts as part of the First Fleet to New South Wales. She returned to commercial trading, and disappears from lists by 1821 (possibly lost off Newfoundland in 1818) In the same time frame, Capt Richard Valentine Morris of the U.S. Navy was mentioned in many newspaper articles. He was relived of his command after an unsuccessful blockade of Tripoli in the First Barbary War. So a newspaper search for a Capt. Morris returns mostly articles about this person. There were some Norfolk newspapers at the time, which are on microfilm at the Library of Virginia but not online.

William George

Parents

Biography

Note		Given name from the Find a Grave entry of his daughter Frances (George) Mounsey.
Birth	about 1756	William George was born about 1756 in England. Based on Frances George Mounsey's record in the 1880 census, says both her parents were born in England. Based on the ages in the 1800, 1810 and 1820 censuses, he should have been born between 1756 - 1765. Based on the mortuary notice, it would be 1756.
Marriage		He and Keran-Happuch 'Katy' Redman were married, date unknown1
Census	1800	He appeared in the census 1800 in Cortlandt Town, Westchester County, New York. William is listed as: William George 2 males 26-44 [born between 1756 & 1774] 1 female under 10 1 female 26-44 This looks like he is already married at this time, or has a married couple living with him but he being considered the head of household. If he is already married to Keren-Happuch, the female under 10 may be Louisa.
Census	1810	He appeared in the census 1810 in Cortlandt Town, Westchester County, New York. William is listed as: William George 1 male 45 and over
Property Bounds	7 June 1817	William's boundary was mentioned in a property transaction on 7 June 1817 in Cortlandt Town, Westchester County, New York. John Blake and his wife Cornelia, of Cortlandt, sold to Cornelius Brown, land in Cortlandt described as "lately occupied and possessed by Thomas Clark in right of his wife Elizabeth, being the undivided ninth part thereof and is bounded on the north by lands lately owned by Hercules Lent, deceased, on the east and southeast by lands in possession of William George, on the south by lands of William George, the lands late of Captain Martin Post, deceased, and by lands of Eli Runnolds, on the west and southwest by lands of Philip Ver Planck. Also the point of land commonly called Clarks Point and is bounded on the east by the Post Road, on the southwest by lands in possession of John H. Lent, on the west and northwest by Hudsons River, on the north and north east by lands of the said party of the second part, the whole containing Two hundred and fifty acres of land, be the same more or less." The deed was recorded 4 May 1833, and is in the 1833 deed book. The deed on the next page, p. 257, image 137/557, is John Clark, Jr. and wife Sarah, on 22 Dec 1817, selling 200 acres with a very similar description, to Jacob Dyckman, "the equal undivided ninth part of all that certain farm or tract of land...being the farm lately occupied by Thomas Clark in right of his wife, and is bounded westwardly by Hudsons River, and the Creek, running through the marsh on the lands of Eli Runnolds and the farm late of Martin Post, deceased, on the east by the farm last aforesaid, and the lands in possession of William George, and on the north by the farm late of Hercules Lent, deceased." And also the equal undivided ninth part of the lot called Clarks Point. In the Deed Book 1825 - 1827, image 567/713, this same property has an entry 7 Jan 1825, and the description says "the lands late in possession of William George, deceased, "2
Property Bounds	6 November 1819	William's boundary was mentioned in a property transaction on 6 November 1819 in Cortlandt Town, Westchester County, New York. David L. Clark and Polly sold to Philip Clapp, land lagely owned by Thomas Clark. Bounds: on the east and southeast by lands of William George, on the south by lands of William George. Deed recorded 4 May 1833.3
Census	1820	He appeared in the census 1820 in Scarsdale, Westchester County, New York. William is listed as: William George 1 male under 10 [Samuel] 1 male 45+ [born at least by 1775, or earlier] 1 female 10-16 [Frances. Louisa married] 1 female 26-45 [Keren about 43] 1 person in Agriculture Is this the same William George? The ages all fit. Louisa is not in the household.
Property Bounds	24 August 1820	William's boundary was mentioned in a property transaction on 24 August 1820 in Cortlandt Town, Westchester County, New York. Benjamin Dyckman sued Jacob Dyckman, property sold by write of fieri facias, land lately owned by Thomas Clark, sold at public vendue. Bounds: Bounds: On the east and southeast by the land of William George, on the south by lands of the said William George.4
Death	March 1821	He died in March 1821 in New York I believe this attached mortuary notice refers to him. I have not found any other William George's in New York and Westchester County, for one thing, and the date fits with the deed record. He is mentioned in property descriptions in Cortlandt as living up to 1820 and as deceased from 1824 on. Weekly Visitor and Ladies Museum, 24 Mar 1821, Vol II, Issue 21, Page 336.
Property Bounds	14 September 1824	William's boundary was mentioned in a property transaction on 14 September 1824 in Cortlandt Town, Westchester County, New York.
