Jacob J H Morris
- Born: 1789 Chester Disrict, SC
- Died: Unknown
- Buried: Unknown
Jacob J. H. Morris was in the 5th U.S. Infantry under Captain Moore May 1815. He was recorded as 26 years old 5’6 blue eyes and fair hair and complexion. He may have received a land grant for his service since he was the head of household on the Mississippi territorial census for Greene County in 1816. Morris later appeared on the Augusta (Perry County) census returns in 1820 and 1830.
Morris was an early settler of the southeastern Mississippi frontier who moved (or whose district was reorganized) into the newly created Perry County region after county lines changed around 1820.
