Greene Co bio (1885):

JOHN A. MORROW, a prosperous farmer and stock raiser, living west of Roodhouse, was born in Greene county, Ill., April 18, 1849, and is a son of Abner and Mary A. (Wood) Morrow. His father was a native of Tennessee, and farming was his occupation. His mother was a native of Alabama. Both died in this county during the year 1853. John A. was educated in the schools of this county and began life as a farmer, thus continuing until he was 20 years of age. He then engaged in the butcher business for one year, and then became proprietor of a grocery and hardware store in Roodhouse, which business he conducted one year, when he sold out and again returned to the pursuits of agriculture. He has since been engaged in farming and raising stock. In the spring of 1872, Mr. Morrow was united in marriage with Ella J. Thaxton, a daughter of William B. and Ellen (McGaffey) Thaxton, natives of this county, and of Vermont, respectively. Her mother is dead and her father has since married again and is now a resident of White Hall. Mr. and Mrs. Morrow are the parents of two children - Willie A. and George B. Mr. Morrow is a member of Roodhouse lodge, No. 681, I.O.O.F., and of the K. of P. and A.O.U.W. lodges, of the same city. He is a gentleman of good business qualities and has the reputation of being one of our most reliable and enterprising citizens.
