"In 17 Mar. 1983, I received McMorris information from Doris McEachron, who was then Town of Argyle Historian in Wash. Co., NY. Later she became the Wash. Co. Historian in Ft. Edward, NY. Included in that information were the names of Mary Jane McCray's parents, William McCray (McCrea) and Barbara Stewart; and that 'James was from Lisburn, Co. Down, 6 mi. from Belfast, Ireland. In 1791, on his 21st birthday, he emigrated to America from Londonderry, on the ship, 'St. James'. Armstrong McMorris, his father, came a few years later and then settled in Del. Co., NY."
