Facts and Events
1815 will was signed in Rowan Co, NC and names oldest sons William and John (see below) Daughter Rebecca Ann m. Charles Lovelace, ended up in Fannin Co, TX after a stay in Greene Co, IL. [edit] DNA FindingsThe DNA findings on this family are somewhat confusing. Result One and Three: Two descendants of reputed grandson Joseph Samuel Morrow match each other 34/37, confirming a common descent likely within this timeframe. (They are perhaps distantly related to the Flat River Morrows, also known as Group 2 on this list of participants - the matches are on the line of a common descent in modern times.) Result Two: A descendant of reputed grandson Jesse Morrow matches 34/37 with those in Crosswood Oaks Morrows, Group IV on this list of participants. This result translates to a 76% chance of a common ancestor within 12 generations. The closest match is with another Morrow family that also settled in Greene Co, IL. ( John Morrow (1798-<1860)).
More descendants are needed to clarify the DNA findings. [edit] WillWill of John Morrow of Rown County, NC Book G. Page 398
