Person:James Morrow (278)

Identified based on brother John E’s estate record (which includes payment to James E. as part of father Ewing’s estate in 1832) and John’s son Ewing T. Morrow, who died intestate so the estate was distributed to first cousins, including three of James’ children. He filed an affidavit naming them from Claiborne Parish in 1847.

No record of the family after the Civil War, but DAR filings by women likely born in the 1880s indicate he died in 1865, and Elizabeth in 1891.
