Parents supplied by Merry Anne; maptfs, Nashville Tennessee (Ancestry Profile);
"From my research, Isaac E Morris was born ca 1800 in TN. His mother was Mary Elizabeth Earthman who married Andrew Morris 24 Dec 1799 in Davidson CO, TN. Her father was Isaac Earthman Jr born ca 1749 prob. Bucks Co, PA died in 1834 in Davidson Co, TN a Rev. War Soldier. His will names his daughter "Betsy's" children, but not by name. But court records indicate there were at least two, Isaac E whose widow was Calista Carney and Peter B. who married Nancy Marlin.Peter and Isaac owned property together and were involved in several cases of slave sales related to the Earthman will. When Isaac died, Peter sold his share of property jointly owned to his sister - in- law, Calista. Peter died in 1855 after serving the county for many years as a Justice of the Peace. He had 5 living children. I can only locate the son, Isaac Taylor Morris. I'm trying to locate the others. And would like to find Andrew Morris's parents."

Isaac married Celestia (Calista) Goldsberry CARNEY on 2 Feb 1826 in Davidson County, Tennessee. Celestia (daughter of Elijah CARNEY and Elizabeth Seale GOLDSBERRY) was born about 1807 in Davidson County, Tennessee; died in 1862 in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

There used to be a fence surrounding the Carney Family Cemetery." Per: Leonard Lawson Carney & Alfred Lytton Carney in a taped interview October 23, 1983 "Pap (their father, Oscar Wayne Carney, Sr.) said that Elijah Carney owned land extending from Simpkins Hollow, along Carney Branch Creek, over hills, past Old Hickory Boulevard. Where John Tyler Carney's log home stood, was originally part of Elijah's land. Elijah's land extended down to old Marrowbone."

Notes:

Elizabeth is probably buried in the Carney Family Cemetery on Stenberg Road in Whites Creek, Davidson County, Tennessee. Elizabeth appeared on 1830 census in Elijah's household but not on 1840 census; thus it is presumed she died 1830-1840, in what is now known as Whites Creek, Davidson County, Tennessee. Per: Glenda Carney On marriage bond, the Clerk wrote Elizabeth's middle name as "CEALS". Since Elizabeth probably could not read nor write, she was unaware her name had been spelled incorrectly. All subsequent references refer to her as Elizabeth "C." Goldsberry because of the Clerk's error. I am convinced her middle name should have been spelled 'SEALE" because that was the correct spelling of her Paternal Grandmother, ELIZABETH SEALE.
