Three Morrison brothers emigrated from the Isle of Lewis, part of the Hebrides, Scotland, settled for a short time in Pennsylvania, and then migrated to Cabbarus County, North Carolina.
John Morrison (ca. 1726-1777), son of William Morrison and Janet Hall, was born in Campbeltown, Argyll, Scotland. He married Mary Morrison (1732-1781), born in Scotland. John immigrated to America and possibly settled in Pennsylvania before coming to North Carolina. Both died in Mecklenburg County, N.C. (possibly present day Cabarrus County). Descendants lived in North Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and elsewhere.

James Morrison was a son of William Morrison and Janet Hall of Scotland and married Jennet Morrison in 1757 probably in Pennsylvania. He is buried in Concord, North Carolina. Although many of their descendants are found in North Carolina others are found around the United States especially in the South.
This account of the settlement of one segment of the North Carolina frontier -- the land between the Yadkin and Catawba rivers -- examines the process by which the piedmont South was populated. Through its ingenious use of hundreds of sources and documents, Robert Ramsey traces the movement of the original settlers and their families from the time they stepped onto American shores to their final settlement in the northwest Carolina territory. He considers the economic, religious, social, and geographical influences that led the settlers to Rowan County and describes how this frontier community was organized and supervised.
Robert Morrison Sr. is one of the sons of William Morrison and Janet Hall who was born in Scotland in 1728, married in Pennsylvania in about 1755 and died in North Carolina in 1810. Descendants live in North Carolina and other areas of the United States, especially the South.
