Morrow DNA Group 5 (George PA)

These matches all have a connection to either George Morrow, born in eastern Pennsylvania and died in 1790 in Abbeville, SC, or Pennsylvania more broadly.

  • George Morrow 1742-1790, Abbeville, SC: Four participants descended from the two wives of George Morrow (sons John and Hugh) match at 25 or 37 markers. George was born about 1742 on the Pennsylvania/Maryland border and died in 1790 in Abbeville, SC. He is often listed as a son of "Old Sam of Spartanburg," but these DNA results disprove that relationship.
  • John N. Morrow of Hickman Co, KY, b. abt 1777 in SC, m. Jane, likely Burgess (not Garvin). According to his death record, his parents were James and Margaret. His children ended up in Hickman County and Mahaska County, Iowa. James would have been a contemporary of George. [95% chance of a common ancestor within 8 generations at 67 markers to above George lines]
  • George H. Morrow, b. 1825 of Paducah Co, KY. John N's son John Smith was also in Paducah, but John N's children are otherwise identified through his will. [95% chance of a common ancestor within 8 generations at 67 markers to above George lines] [98% within 8 gen to James, below]
  • James Morrow b abt 1780 d. 1845 in Fayette Co, IN. His will names his children and wife Sally Ann, including Hugo and Leonard, ancestor of the tested participant. A family story documented here tells of visits between Preble Co, OH Morrows (descended from William Morrow m. Rachel Reed) to "cousins" in Fayette County, suggesting James is also descended from that line--and in particular, the son of Hugo who died in 1782 in Orange County. Family tradition in turn is that William first appears in Pennsylvania, along with brother George before settling in the Carolinas. [same 95% change of common ancestor within 8 generations to George]
  • William Morrow d. 1830 in Pennsylvania, m. Barbara Zantzinger, grandfather of Gov. Edwin Porch Morrow [Line is more distantly related - 80% change of common ancestor in 12 generations to George]
  • Lafayette Blair Morrow b. 1831 Ohio m. Cynthia Hoyt [67% within 8 gen with George line]
