C. C. MORRIS, farmer, Bowdon, Carroll Co., Ga., son of J. L. and Elizabeth 
(Almond) Morris, was born in Carroll county in 1856. His paternal 
grandparents, William and Hannah (Biggars) Morris, were natives of South 
Carolina, came to Georgia early in this century, and settled in what is now De 
Kalb county. He was a farmer, and, also, a Missionary Baptist minister and 
preached in the old log churches. He was a soldier in the revolutionary army. 
Mr. Morris' father was born in De Kalb county in 1826, and was a farmer. He 
enlisted in 1861, was a lieutenant in his company and remained in the army 
through the conflict. His maternal grandparents, Asbern and Jane (Biggars) 
Almond, were early settlers, and the grandfather was a revolutionary soldier. 
Mr. Morris was reared on a farm in Carroll county, and received a fair common 
school education. Adopting farming as a pursuit, but without means, he 
acquired a good farm, and is among those at the head of the list as 
progressive farmers, manages well, is much esteemed and is prosperous. He has 
a tract of more than 200 acres of choice land, productive, with good 
improvements. In 1882 Mr. Morris married Miss Rebecca Lovvorn, daughter of W. 
D. Lovvorn, an old and influential settler, who has borne him six children: 
Eva, Mattie, Joseph and Otto, living; and Lillian and Anna, deceased. Himself 
and wife are members of the Baptist church.
