Person talk:George Morrow (3)

My name is Alexandrina Murray from Sydney Australia. My father who is 94 years old and a MURRAY has submitted a 67 marker yDNA test with Familytree DNA.The purpose of this post is to inform other members of Morrow research society etc that my father's results are now in and the 25 marker test matches with Morrow family members related to George Morrow who is said to have married Mary Calhoun 1755 circa in North or South Carolina , lived Georgia? Maryland and Pennsylvania (TBD). Accordingly the 25 marker test also matches 24/25 . Most importantly though the 37 marker test result has just returned with a 99% positive result of a common ancestor within a certain timeframe.

I have been in contact with Morrow family members and I think that I can trace the Morrow family back to Selkirk in Scotland 1735 circa.

According to the DNA result there IS a relationship between our families and MURRAY and MORROW MORRAY MORAY MURRAH are one in the same family. The morph occurred according to the transcribed name being written as heard (thick scots accents).

I have the Murray family tree going back to 10 to 20 generations in Scotland.

Please also note that George Morrow who married Mary was arguably GEORGE MORRAY married MARY FLEMING 1763 in Pennsylvania. Perhaps he married 3 times, not twice. The Murray family in Selkirk that I believe may be related were Soldiers....Officers in HM Guards related to Walter Murray and Amelia Murray who were both descended from a well known Murray family in Ettrick-Yarrow -Selkirk Scotland.

Please contact me at any time for further information: I have a very extensive gedcom available 4,500 individuals.

My parents were both born in Scotland and Father's family from Selkirk. I have a paper trail back to 1798 for my direct line and Murrays in the data base back to the 1500's
