Biography

"About five miles west of Blackwell Hollow, in Perry County, lived the Samuel Morris family on the Red Bank Branch of the Buffalo River. Samuel Morris had been born in Maryland and was married to a Cherokee Indian who was given the name Mahala. Mahala was born in North Carolina and was given a birth date of 15 May 1789. Her Cherokee name was Singing Water (as in a rocky stream or bubbling spring). She and Samuel Morris, who died around 1839, apparently had many children, the last of which was Jane Morris. Jane and Clement Blackwell were married on 6 September 1846 at Beardstown (there is still a church at that location), now incorporated into the current town of Lobeiville, in Perry County, Tennessee. Widow Mahala Morris came to live with them in Blackwell Hollow. " [1]
