William's parentage is established via his second marriage certificate, which names his parents as John W. and "M" (Martha) Morrow.[7] In addition, he signed an 1852 deed, in which he transfers to R. M. Morrow his 1/5 interest in 50 acres escribed as "tract of John W. Morrow, dec'd".[8] R.M. was the administrator of the estate of John White Morrow (abt.1784-abt.1848), who died in Mecklenburg County and had five children.

William married first Elizabeth Brinkley (so identified on their daughters' death certificates) about 1848. They had nine children before she died in 1866. He married second, Elizabeth Pippins, in 1884.

William died April 15, 1908 in Catawba County, NC, and is buried in Bethlehem Methodist Cemetery in Claremont.[9] Estate documents indicate shares were paid out to sons J.H., B.M., and A.P.; C.M. McCorkle for Winifred Morrow; and daughters S.J. Brinkley, M.L. Sigman, J.E. Whitener, M.A. Whitener. (Sarah Jane, Margaret, Julia, and Martha Ann, respectively; Winifred is the daughter of his son John, d. 1882)

Previously connected to Daniel and Rachel (Roberson) Morrow based on migration pattern, but above documents disprove that connection; Daniel is unrelated to John White.
