Robert was granted 100 acres on waters of Davidson's Creek and Line Branch, entered 2 Sept 1793, and issued 20 Oct 1798.

By 1800, his wife is listed as a widow, which is consistent with the inventory of Robert Morrow in Mecklenburg county dated 26 Apr 1800.[1] Unsourced notes provided to the MorrowDNA project indicate his will was dated 26 Mar 1800 and contained the following provisions:

  • It is my will that my wife Martha have the land and all other property under her care during her natural life.
  • Martha (has) raising of the children, put them to work at trades as she sees best.
  • At her death the land is at her disposal to any of my children.
