Person:Mary Morris (28)

Mary Morris was born 1750/60 (per 1830 census) in Brunswick Co., VA. I don't know who her parents were.

On 11 Aug 1783 Henry Morris made his Will in Brunswick County naming (among others) his granddaughter Mary Dugger. (Brunswick Co., VA Will Book 2 page 228).

Although her husband Daniel Dugger appeared frequently in the public records in the late 1700's, Mary did not as far as I've found.

Mary Dugger was listed on the 1810 census in Sussex Co., VA. It is entirely possible this is a different person. Analysis:
