Foster's Alumni Oxonienses has him matriculating as 'John Morris':

"Morris, John, s. Michael, of Rochford, co. Hereford, gent.  Brasenose COLL., matric 10 Apr, 1782, aged 17; B.A. 1786, M.A. 1788 (as Morres)."

"Morris (Morres), John (Herefs.). Com. b. and c. 9 Apr.; matr. gen. 10 Apr., aged 17; Frankland Sch. 25 Apr. 1782; Mordaunt Sch. 3 June 1783; B.A. 26 Jan. 1786; M.A. 23 Oct. 1788; rem. 12 Sept. 1790.
"WORKS :
"An Address to his parishioners, 1800. TwoEssays (which gained the Bishop Sermon for the S.P.C.K., 1815. of St. David's Prizes), 1818-19."

An obviously clever man, to have obtained two scholarships.
