THOMAS MORRISY is a farmer and resident of Castroville. He came to California in
1865 direct from his native county, Ireland. He was then about seventeen years
of age, having been born in Limerick county in 1841. He spent three years in the
war of the Rebellion, in the Union army, as a soldier of the One Hundred and
Forty-nine New York Volunteer Infantry: soon after his enlistment he was
transferred into the regular army. He fought through the battles of the
wilderness and the battle of Gettysburg, besides numerous hot engagements of
less note, and received two wounds, in his left leg.

  He was married to Mrs. Edward Nolan. By her former marriage she had two
children, Mary and Lizzie, and by her latter marriage she has had one son, Thomas.
