Hi! I am looking for information on WILLIAM PRESTON MORROW, born February, 1857 in INDIANA. I have no idea what county, though I have come across an 1860 census record which might be his family, but dont really know at this time. I am just grasping for straws at this point. It is said that William was Irish, so it is possible that this could be the right family. He was in Scott County, AR between 1881 and 1883, I believe, when he married MELVINA JONES. Below is what is known about the first two generations of my Morrow family, and the census record. It is possible that William had at least one brother, name unknown, and a sister, NANCY A. MORROW who married JAMES W. JONES, JR., the brother of Williams wife. He may have also had another brother or cousin EDWARD MORROW who was in Scott County by 1910. Any help at all would be appreciated. I have hit the proverbial brick wall with this one. Thanks so much.
