Son William 1812-1831, Daughters Sarah m. Simpson Coffey, Martha, Jane, Susannah, Ann, Cynthia, Mary. Name often given as "James McKnight Morrow" based on names of son and grandson, but no contemporary evidence confirms.

Worth Ray: James and Susannah moved to what was called the "Belle Aire" section of Lancaster Co., SC, which shortly after they went there, was taken from the Waxhaw Section and the Old Six Mile Church was built, it's membership being made of mostly of members of the Waxhaw Church, where David Morrow, uncle of this James (McKnight) Morrow, had settled long before the Revolution. [Note, David Morrow d. Waxhaw, NC m. Agnes White and has several descendants in the DNA project. None even remotely match this man’s descendants.]

DNA Results

Descendants of this man matched descendants of another James, this one a couple generations older (died 1775 in Pennsylvania). That James had a son David who moved to North Carolina, whose estate records in North Carolina indicate he has a son James who died before 1830. The DNA results would appear to confirm that that James is the one who married Susannah Watson.

This excludes a number of other potential family matches.
