McVey C. Merrow was born in North Carolinas May 1, 1833. His father, Stephen Morrow, was a farmer and a justice of the peace. He married Mary A. Chandler, daughter of John Chandler, of North Carolina, and became the father of five children, namely-McVey C., Albert B., William, Louise, and Susan, who died while young. Stephen Morrow is now living in retirement at Henderson, Kentucky. William Morrow father of Stephen, married Mary Underdown, a daughter of Stephen Underdown, a quadroom Cherokee Indian, of South Carolina.
McVey Morrow, when but three years of age, was taken by his father to Hopkins county, Kentucky, and there grew to manhood. He was married in Union county, Kentucky, October 7, 1850, to Pernetta I. Cates, a daughter of Richard Cates, of North Carolina and his wife, who was a daughter of Henry Caufman/Coffman, of Pennsylvania. Six children blessed the union of McVey and wife, namely--Ellery A., Albert B., Annie E., Henry B., , McVey C.and Willie B. In August 1863, Mr. Morrow enlisted in Company A., Eight Kentucky cavalry, and served to the close of the war. Before he enlisted, however, the Union soldiers had burned his dwelling and its contents, and on his return from the army he was obliged to begin life anew. He continued to cultivate the old Kentucky Place until 1878, when he came to Texas, and bought a tract of land adjoining the town of Ravenna, a portion of which tract he has laid out in building lots, and has disposed of a number of them. His keen interest in the development of the town is universally recognized, and he is looking forward to the establishment of institutions for the better education and moral trainig of youth. He is a member of the F. and A.M., I.O.O.F. and the Methodist Episcopal church South, and at present is engaged in merchandising and hotel keeping at Ravenna, and in farming.
