After leaving New York, Morris traveled to Pennsylvania, New Orleans, and California. While in San Francisco, he heard about a Mormon settlement in Carson Valley and was curious enough to visit. He liked the people and wanted to learn more about their faith. When everyone in the settlement left for the Salt Lake Valley, Morris joined them.<\/p>\n<p>In Salt Lake City, Morris became acquainted with Alexander Neibaur, who was a matchmaker and the first Jewish person to join the Mormon Church. Morris became the second and was baptized on March 27, 1858. He married Alexander\u2019s daughter Alice the same year.<\/p>\n<p>The couple ultimately settled in Brigham City.
