This family came on a ship from England to Manakintowne, Virginia. Most likely John married his first cousin since his mother's last name was Faure.
His daughter Judith, born in Virginia, married John Gordon on March 25, 1758 in Goochland County, Virginia.[1]
His sons Daniel Fore Morriset and William Morriset are named as executors of his 1782 will.[2]
His will was written May 5, 1782.[2] He died before June 6, 1783.[1]

This marriage date is that of his daughter Judith Morriset b 1737 marrying John Gordon. John Morriset must have married Judith Gordon b 1715 about 1736 - she was his first wife.
Also, his entire will is available in Virginia Wills & Probate Records. Page 1 is where his daughter Judith Gordon is mentioned...
Pierre Morriset m Elizabeth Faure & they had a son John (b 1714, currently attached to Francis b c1740). Maybe that John married someone else? The three generations table of the Huguenot Society-FMCV shows Elizabeth Faure/Ford -> John Morrisette -> David Morrisette
see http://huguenot-manakin.org/manakin/lineages.php
WikiTree profiles for David Morrisett b 1740s are attached as son of John b 1714 & his mother should be born more like 1720s than Fanny's 1740 guestimate. (Daughter Margarette is born 1770s.)
I think it likely that Francis married a later generation John Morriset (which would be better for the blood relationship of the couple too).
