MorrowDNA - Group 4 (NC) ~ Tested Line ~ Early Ancestor: William Morrow of Orange Co, NC (this man) - Matches brother: James Morrow of Orange Co, NC
Other Group 4: David Murray of Sussex, DE - Thomas Morrow m. Rebecca Small - Thomas Morrow m. Nancy Mann (info)


DNA confirms that this man and the James listed here as his brother are closely related. Descendants 7-8 generations removed match closely enough to yield a probability of 90% that they are related within 12 generations. See Crosswood/Oaks Morrows and Group 4

These men are NOT connected to the Virgina Morrow family - i.e. not son of Daniel and Diana Morrow (reportedly) of Lunenburg Co, VA. DNA shows the lines do not have a common male ancestor.
