John Morris (soldier)
John Morris (1617?–1649) was a celebrated and dashing army officer of the First English Civil War. He served on both royalist and parliamentarian sides of the conflict, and was executed on a treason charge.
==Early life==
He was eldest son of Matthias Morris of Esthagh, in Elmsall, near Pontefract, Yorkshire. Brought up in the house of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, when Strafford became lord deputy of Ireland, he was at age 16 made ensign to Strafford's own company of foot, and soon afterwards lieutenant of his guard. After Strafford's death, Morris became captain in Sir Henry Tichborne's regiment. During the Irish rebellion of 1641 he was appointed sergeant-major in the regiment commanded by Sir Francis Willoughby, and major by commission from the Earl of Ormonde (2 June 1642). After the storming of Ross Castle, though wounded, he rallied some English troops that were retreating before General Preston, and charged the enemy. On returning to England, Morris served for a while in Lord Byron's regiment.
