From Hist of Wayne Co, IN:

Elihu Morrow was born in Wayne County, Ind., Feb. 5, 1817, a son of John and Mary (Stout) Morrow, natives of North Carolina, who in 1807 moved to Preble County, Ohio and in 1809 to Wayne County, Ind. His father bought 160 acres in Wayne Township for $400, nearly all unimproved. He was by trade a blacksmith and followed that occupation after coming to Indiana, exchanging work in the shop for having his land cleared. He joined the Society of Friends after reaching manhood, and faithfully adhered to its doctrines through life, serving the society as a minister. He died in April, 1824, and his wife died in 1843. They had a family of nine children---Andrew, Joseph, Hannah, Mary, Ruth, John, Jane, Nancy and Elihu. The latter was but seven years old when his father died and he was reared on the farm by his mother. His educational advantages were meager. In 1853 he left the farm and engaged in the grocery business in Richmond. He married Anna H., daughter of Eli and Martha Brown, of Richmond, Ind., born in 1818. They have had four children---Albert T., M. Eliza (died Sept. 15, 1853), John E. and James W. Mr. and Mrs. Morrow are both members by birthright of the Friends' Society.
