Biography

On July 4, 33-yr-old Morris celebrated Independence Day by escaping from Fayette Co. enslaver William Allen. He was described as about 5'9" tall and had extensive scarring on the right side of his face from a burn. He left astride Allen's bay horse that had a brand which read "R. B." A "liberal" reward would be given to anyone returning Morris.
