Narrative

Hugh Morrison may have had an older brother named John Morrison. There was a John Morrison (abt 1750 - 1848) who "took an active part in the opening of the first court in Warren county 1819" and "served as court crier in Franklin for may years, and died there 1848 aged 98 years." (Source: Samuel Morrison of Bucks and Lycoming Counties Pennsylvania and Some of His Descendants)

He may also have had a brother named Samuel. "... there is a locality in Oil Creek township Venango county, known as orrison Corners. The account ledges of the early traders at Franklin show that a John and Samuel Morrison were among their patrons between the years 1794 and 1800. There is the possibility to explore that they were the sons or brothers of James Sr. of Warren county." (Source: Samuel Morrison of Bucks and Lycoming Counties Pennsylvania and Some of His Descendants)
