We know that Lafayette also had a brother named Morris Dick (Lafayette was living with the family of his brother, Morris Dick, on the 1870 census), but no Morris Dick appears in the 1850 Cabell County census. It is possible that Morris was living outside the county at the time. Another possibility, though, is that he was living with a family in Cabell County and that he was recorded under the surname of the family he was living with??? Searching for this possible scenario returned only one close match: a 13-year old Morris Lusher living with the Matthew & Margaret Lusher family. Interestingly, the family of Matthew and Margaret Lusher is listed with four children, ages 7, 5, 4, and 1 years, and 13-year old Morris is listed last, after all of the other younger children. Could this be Morris Dick??? [Morris is not listed with the Lusher family in the 1860 or 1870 census (although he would have been old to be living with his parents by that time), and no “Morris Lusher” can be found at all on the 1860 or 1870 censuses.]
