John Morris (piper)

John Morris, aka Morris Sarsfield, aka Muiruich (fl. 1850-75), Irish piper. Morris was a native of Clydagh, Headford, County Galway, and appears to have been called Morris Sarsfield "from hero worship of the famous general", Patrick Sarsfield (c.1660-1693). The Irish-speaking people of the area knew him as Muiruich. It is unknown when he was born, or died, or where. All O'Neill could say for certain was that he was alive in the third quarter of the 1800s.
