Listed on web as m. Anne Membrane - she married William son of Daniel.

Bondsman on marriage record (which has no date) is William Lee, who married William’s brother Hugh’s widow Sarah.

On p. 272 of "Tennessee Cousins" Ray reports that William MORROW along with brothers John (b.1769) and Andrew (b.1767) took their families to Knox Co. (some time after the 1800 Census). Second hand reports say Andrew’s descendants thought William died in Orange Co. Melly Hunneycut is listed with three children in the 1800 census. George and Andrew may have gone to Knox Co, but they soon moved on to Preble Co. OH, where Andrew, George and John (of the next generation) were neighbors (see 1820 Census for Preble Co.)

JT: At a guardian proceeding in 1798, two of William’s brothers were named guardians for his daughters Elizabeth and Rachel.
