The surname Morris in Sligo, Ireland, has roots in Norman origin, specifically descending from the Count of Anjou of Normandy. A branch of the Marisco (Morris) family settled in Galway, becoming one of the fourteen tribes of Galway. The name also derives from the Latin "de Marisco," meaning "of the marsh," and was associated with a branch of the Uí Fiachrach chiefs in Sligo Bay.
The Morris family traces back to the time of Elthelstan and Alfred, who reigned in England in the ninth and tenth centuries.
Maurice, Morys, and Morres are names found in the records of the time; have been compounded with the prefixes Fitz, as Fitzmorris, Clan, Mount, De, &c. The name is supposed to be of Welsh origin, as Maur Rwyce and Mawr Rhys, meaning Thomas Morris was a shipbuilder and a Puritan, who left England with other pilgrims in the year of Hampden's resistance to the arbitrary exactions of Charles, the First.
At least two of the Morris family had fallen in martyrdom in the reign of " Bloody Queen Mary," and the Morris name may be found on the pages of history during the parliamentary struggles with Charles the First, and as soldiers under Cromwell.
Thomas Morris arrived in Boston June 26, 1637. He sailed with a party of other Londoners and landed at Quinnipiac, now New Haven, March 30, 1638, arriving at their destination about the middle of April of that year.
