In the southern portion of colonial Virginia, another Morris Veale raised a family. This Morris causes us lots of problems with his movements. So we will present his family here to help everyone sort out which Morris they are looking for - the Northern Morris or the Southern Morris Veale.

Ralph Veale made a trip to the Library of Congress, 16 March 1998 and Bob Veale prepared this report from that work and from Jimmy L. Veal, who identified the book, HISTORICAL SOUTHERN FAMILIES, Vol. 14, edited by Mrs. John Bennett Boddie, pub. 1970. Jimmy confirmed that many of the referred to documents are very reliable and accurate.
