If you are in search of a Morrow male from your line to join the DNA project, please let us and others know by posting it here. An email to one of the project administrators is hard to track, and relies on us to remember you exist. A posting here serves as a reminder, and lets others know you're looking.
To add a name, click "add comment" above, and list as much information as necessary to identify your line. Make sure to include contact information if you are not a WeRelate member because it will not otherwise be attached to your posting. (WeRelate members can chose to have users leave a message on your talk page, and you'll get an email letting you know.)
James was born about 1730 in Ireland. He left a number of deeds and records in Greenbrier County before dying in 1797. His will names his sons Samuel and James. His wife was Mary. Further details can be found here.
A descendant of his son James is interested in finding a project participant from this line. A descendant of Samuel would also be of interest generally because two descendants of that line married daughters of Sam Houston, and a test would disprove the line for them published in Tennessee Cousins. Contact me at the email on the link above. --Amelia.Gerlicher 12:59, 18 August 2006 (MDT)
Descendants of the following men are of general interest to current researchers in the project. Contact Amelia.
- David Morrow m. Martha Brashears. David was born c. 1750. He was in Orange Co (now Guilford) NC before 1771 in the Buffalo Church community where he married Martha Brashears/Brasher & later moved to Mecklenburg Co NC where he died 1810. His son David married Jenny McCullough in 1802 in Mecklenburg Co, NC and later moved to Lafayette Co, MS.
- John Morrow, who owned property adjacent to William Morrow in Buncombe County, NC in the early 1800s. He is probably the John Morrow, age 76, in Coffee Co, TN in 1850, whose son John M. moved to Sebastian Co, AR.
- William Morrow m. Rachel Reed. William died before the 1781 tax list was compiled, in Haw River, Orange Co, NC. Children were Hugh, William, James, Andrew, John, George.
- John Morrow m. Janet, of Mecklenburg Co, NC, left a will in 1795 naming his sons Robert, John, George and Richard.
- Joseph Morrow m. Jane Wiley (Wylie). Joseph was born about 1760, allegedly to David and Agnes Morrow of Chester Co, SC. He died 30 Nov 1835 in Chester Co, SC. Jane then moved to Mississippi with her son Joseph's family. Contact Bill.
Descendants of any Morrows living in Baltimore 1790-1820 are sought. See here for names. Contact Bill.
I will contribute the cost of the DNA testing for any male Morrow descendent of Isaac N. Morrow born 1818 in Lawrence County, Alabama and Mary Ann Crownover born about 1822 in Lawrence County, Alabama. They were married in 1839 and I have found them in census records through 1860 still in Lawrence County.
