Notes

The Elizabeth Jane (Davis) (Rex) Morris Collection was passed from Jonathan Morris Morris [1832-1915] and his wife, Charlotte (Rinehart) Morris [1834-1916], with the ownership of the Morris Bicentennial Farm in Fordyce, Greene Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania, to their son, Jesse Hull Morris [1875-1947], and his wife, Elizabeth Jane (Davis) (Rex) Morris [1879-1980]. Elizabeth added her Davis family heritage to the collection, before passing it to her son, Jonathan Rex Morris [1919-2003], and his wife, Sarah Elaine (Hostetler) Morris [1924-2009], whose children, John Robert Morris and Kathleen (Morris) Miller, owned and shared the collection with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Archives Project in 2023.
