The biography for Walker Morris: I grew up in Cherokee, AL, attended school there through the 10th grade, I then attended Sewanee Military Academy in Sewanee, TN and graduated in 1961. I attended Auburn University, Auburn, AL and graduated with a degree in Aviation Management in 1966. At graduation I was commissioned a 2LT in the U. S. Army and entered service 23 Apr 1966. In the same month I married my wife of 57 years and have 4 children and 7 grandchildren, I attended the army Engineer Officer Basic Course & Army Fixed Wing Aviator Course graduating 6th in a class of 44 in June 1967. I served in the Republic of Vietnam as a "Birddog O-1" pilot for 1 year and received a Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart Medal and 13 Air Medals for my service. I was honorably discharged in April 1969 with the rank of Captain. I was hired as a pilot with Southern Airways 3 Nov 1969 and through a series of mergers, Republic Airlines and finally Northwest Airlines as a Captain on the Boeing 747-400 after 33 years of service, retired in Apr 2003. In retirement, I purchased a farm with a partner and we have enrolled a significant portion of the land in the USDA Conservation Reserve Program to improve the property for wildlife habitat, particularly for Bobwhite Quail. I have been active in habitat organizations like Quail Unlimited, Quail Forever and have received 4 awards for wildlife habitat work and improvements. I have had a blessed life and am eternally grateful for my good fortune!

The only thing I have for Nathaniel is for his marriage to Rebecca Bailey. Look up 1st Presbyterian Church Records Marriage 1743-1750 on 21 June 1750. I found some info at the below link. https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count20&query%2Bgivenname%3ANathaniel~%20%2Bsurname%3AMorris~%20%2Brecord_country%3A%22United%20States%22%20%2Brecord_subcountry%3A%22United%20States%2CNew%20Jersey%22%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1728-1732~
