Olive Amyx was born in about 1845 to Preston Amyx and Elisia Harvey. In about 1865 she married William Morrison In 1870, they traveled with Olive's parents and most of her siblings to Bridges Township, Missouri. They must have moved back to Kentucky for at least a few years because the 1880 Census lists a 2-year-old daughter born in Kentucky. However, they apparently returned by the end of 1880 because the rest of their children were born in Missouri.
Olive died in about 1902.
