   IV. Margaret Ewing b ca 1736. She was married by about 1752 to John Morrow, Sr. in Amelia Co., VA.) Information about her and her husband and family follows, somewhat, the moving of Thomas (Brother) to Laurens Co., S.C. She lived in Amelia/Prince Edward Co., VA until after the Revolutionary War. John Morrow's brother went with him and they settled for a time in Mecklenburg Co., NC or near there. David Morrow one brother of John Morrow, Sr. is buried in the yard of the Old Waxhaw Church in S.C. They lived in the Haw River section of N.C. moving through S.C. and finally to Greene Co., Ga. Some of the above information is from Worth S. Ray in his TENNESSEE COUSINS page 252, 282. Tho I take issue with some of his writing the above family is certainly in Greene Co., GA no matter how they got there! He indicates that John Morrow Sr. wrote his will in Greene Co., GA but that it is now in the Archives of Duke University. However the Probate Records of John are in Greene Co., GA. and from them we find, Margaret Ewing and John Morrow, Sr. had:
   A. Thomas Morrow (did not come to GA)
   B. Ewing Morrow b ca 1755 in Prince Edward Co., VA married Sarah Gilliam, a daughter of Peter Gilliam and Amey Heard
   of Knox Co., TN. Ewing Morrow died in 1791 and John Morrow (Father?) was administrator of his estate. The following
   children are named but we do not know the ages:
   1. Peter Gilliam Morrow
   2. Joseph Morrow was a member of the GA Legislature from Morgan Co., GA in 1822.
   3. Ewing Morrow, Jr. was a member of the GA Legislature from Greene Co., GA. in 1803.
   C. John Morrow, Jr.
   D. Joseph Morrow
   E. Sarah Morrow married Jacob Maddox. They lived in Greene Co., GA.
   F. Elizabeth Morrow married John Bell (son of Thomas and Elizabeth Weir Bell of Amherst Co., VA-they moved to Woodford
   Co KY).
