there is a “Proceedings of the New Jersey Historical Society”- the article is called Asa Morris, wooodbridge nj. It mentions a George Morris of Woodbridge NJ, who died 1730, son of George Morris who died 1688. I think George of woodbridge may have had sons John, Benjamin and George
Some other names from this area wound up in Kentucky -

Have you come across information about the Benjamin Cole family in Mason Co, Kentucky? Please contact me if you have seen a link to the Morris family, prior to 1820 and a link to the move to Illinois by Morris and Cole families.

Some of the Morrises you mention are from [the family of] John Morris[, born] 1737, possibly Wales.
Mary Morris married Jesse Lucas-Mary is John’s daughter.
The info on Mary and Jesse’s marrriage bond shows John Morris ([her] brother probably b 1768, Tom Morris (possibly Mary’s cousin and bondsman James Morris (possibly b 1762).
Mary and Jesse Lucas are signers on Richard Morris['s] 1766 will (this is Mary’s brother Richard).
John (1738)’s son James Morris (1762 MD) had children including Henry Morris, born 1801, married Christina Crawford.
John Morris (1737/38)’s brother Richard Morris, born abt 1722/25, married Rebecca Flint.
Richard had sons Morris Morris (1761) and a son Thomas Morris, born 1751. We know little about Thomas Morris (1751), but Richard (1725) is the only one that had the name Thomas in his children.
Another family living in Mason County was the family of James Morris (1716 Scotland); his son David Morris married Mary Shotwell. These children would be others you should explore.

Have DNA on William Morris (Madison Clay Co, KY_ b. 1760. This matches John Morris b, 1755 died in Boone Co,

Hammond Morris descendents of Madison Co. Don’t match

A Fayette Co Morris doesn’t match either.
