A Brief History of Morris
Meadows
Ancestors of the Morris
family came to America from Wales, United Kingdom on a sailing vessel that
sailed as far as possible up the Susquehanna River during the early 1700's.
Upon their arrival, they began working for their pay in return for their passage
to the New World. When paid in full, they proceeded to walk to find land of
their own, and finally settled here in Maryland. A copy of the first recorded
land deed, writing on goat skin on December 4, 1793, is on display in our
registration lobby. Careful examination reveals the name of Samuel Morris,
Jr., and the tract of land known as "Morris' Choice".
Over
the years, the land acreage varied as did the occupation of the Morris ancestors.
A son of the first landowner was a decorated veteran of the War of 1812. A
brother- in- law of the third generation owner was killed at Gettysburg during
the Civil War. The present owner served in World War II, and his son is a
highly decorated, disabled veteran of the Vietnam War. Not too often will
you find 7 generations of one family that have lived and worked on the same
land for over 200 years.
The
present 500 acres is divided between grain farming and recreation. Until recently,
there was a huge herd of Angus cows and calves roaming the hillsides. These
Angus produced several grand champions at well- known livestock shows. With
the growing demands of recreation and family camping, it was decided to devote
their attention to one occupation. Their goal here at Morris Meadows is for
you and your family to enjoy the country, the activities, and the local and
state attractions, but most of all to have fun as a family together.
