Eleanor (Jones) Morris (1841-1906)

She inherited one-third of a one-ninth share of her cousin Joshua Jones' $7-million estate that worked out to be about $120,000 in 1888. She was married to the, "awfully good-looking" Newbold Morris. His great friend, Maitland Armstrong recounted their meeting and subsequent engagement: "Newbold Morris, a great friend of mine - he gave me the ring I always wear - was in the habit of riding up to Danskammer on horseback. On one occasion he stopped there for a day or two and I went on with him to Hyde Park, where we stayed with his uncle, Mr. Tom Newbold. I rode a little bay horse called Ruby, and Newbold a gray mare. We met there a Miss Eleanor Jones, an heiress and a very nice girl. In a few days I came home, leaving Newbold at Hyde Park, and shortly after he turned up again at our house, riding another horse - he was a great horse-jockey and had traded his mare for a cream-colored nag - with the news that he was engaged to Miss Jones!"
