MORRISON   July 24, 2003
I am researching the MORRISON family who emigrated to Cumberland and 
Harnett Counties from the Isle of Skye, Scotland after 1750.  Roderick 
MORRISON (b. abt. 1729, d. 1824) is said to have married his cousin, 
Isabella MORRISON (b. abt. 1745, d. 1839).  I descend from their daughter, 
Annie Penelope MORRISON, who married John McSWAIN in Cumberland County in 1818.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone with information on Harnett County 
MORRISONs and associated families, particularly those who live or lived in 
the Upper Little River district.  I am more than happy to share the 
information that I have. Thank you. Cathy Griffin Fairman  rfairman@bak.rr.com
