He was born in Monongalia County, Va., now West Virginia. They settled on Laurel Run near silverhill P.O., Wetzel County, in 1842. Later they moved to a 260 acre farm on Steels Run. Miciah and Elizabeth were married in Littleton, Va. now W.Va., by Thomas Meighen, Justice of the Peace, in 1840. They were farmers by profession. Their children were Anthony Thomas, Prichard, Viola, Michael, Ziba, William, Samuel, James, Mary Ann and Harriet. Ziba, Elizabeth’s mother, when as a small girl lived on Buffalo Creek, in Marion County. The Indians who were making a raid on some settlements near Morgantown, burned her home, killed her father, struck Ziba on the head with a tomahawk, and left her for dead. Some neighbors found her and restored her to good health. When she grew up she combed her hair over the scare so so it wouldn’t show. Miciah, at age 49, served in the Civil War for two years. The Adjutant General’s report of West Virginia of the Civil War states that he was a member of Lieutenant McGown’s Company stationed in Wheeling in 1862. He worked under Dr. Phesell a surgeon in the Wheeling Hospital, who operated on the wounded Federal Soldiers, from the battlefields. There was no medicine available at that time to fight infection, so most had an arm or leg amputated. Miciah’s two sons Anthony and Prichard also served in the Civil War. Miciah died on Steels Run, Wetzel County, WV in 1867. He and Elizabeth are buried in the Miller Cemetery on Morris Run in Wetzel County, WV.-----Hoy B. Morris, Morris Family History.
