From his obituary, dated 22 March 1922 in The Quincy Daily Journal:
His paternal ancestry was of distinguished blood. One of them, Thomas Morris, came to America in 1637, and settled in Massachusetts. Mr. Morris' grandfather, Thomas Morris, settled in Ohio, in the history-making days of the Buckeye state, and served with distinction in the United States senate, and also was a candidate for vice-president on the Liberty ticket, which flourished during antebellum days.
Mr. Morris' father, Isaac N. Morris, came from Ohio to Illinois in 1836, and after two years spent at Nauvoo, changed his location to Quincy, where he followed the practice of law.
Mr. Morris' maternal grandfather was a Robbins who came to Adams county in 1829, and erected the first two-story log cabin in Western Illinois.

The Quincy Daily Herald, Monday, March 27, 1922; page 14.
The wills of Thomas L. Morris, an old resident of Quincy, who died recently, and his wife, who died on December 29, 1921, were both filed for probate in the county clerk's office Friday afternoon. Both wills bequeathed all the property to the children, Mary E. Morris and William Collins Morris, subject to the life estate of Mrs. Morris, under the provisions of Mr. Morris' will, and of Mr. Morris in Mrs. Morris' will. The circumstance of both documents being filed at the same time is unusual.
[The article goes on to state that in the end, "the remainder of the estate is given to the two children."]
