    1. [ARYELL-L] INDIANA MORROWS MIGRATING TO ARKANSAS
    2. Charlene Holland
    3. Hi I am still looking for information about my great grandfather's, WILLIAM PRESTON MORROW, parents. All I know is they were born in Indiana. An old family legend says that these Morrows were from Ireland originally. There were three MORROWS in Scott County Arkansas in the 1880s and later. All were born in Indiana, and I think they may have been brothers and sister. Below is a descendant outline of these families. I have been able to trace the descendants of WILLIAM PRESTON MORROW, and some of NANCY MORROW'S. I have not been able to trace ISAAC MORROW and WINNIE PITTS after 1920. EDWARD MORROW’S family is in Scott County in the 1900 and 1910 census in Lewis Township, but not in Scott County in 1920. There is a story that a brother of WILLIAM P. MORROW moved away from Scott County and that his descendants ended up in Tulsa, Oklahoma where some of WILLIAM P. MORROW'S descendant's also live to this day. Could that possibly be the EDWARD MORROW listed below? I have just recently came upon this story, so have not had time to check it out. There were a number of MORROW families in Indiana in 1860 with children by the name of William of about the correct age: 1860 Indiana Dekalb County Census Township Newville Post Office Auburn Page 347# 666/666 JACOB S. MORROW 29 OH Lucinda 23 OH William 1 IN 1860 Indiana Gibson County Census Township Patoka # 084/ 084 JAS MORROW 26 Ireland Mary A. 26 Ireland William 3 Indiana Mary 1 Indiana The above Gibson County census record looks to be promising, because of the age of William, and also the family stories of William being of Irish extraction. And then this census record was found. Because of the name, Samuel, I think this might be a good possibility of being our MORROW family. The problem is, the child, William L. is listed as a female. As we know with census records, this is very possibly an error, either in transcribing or an error of the enumerator. I have yet to research the feasibility of this theory. 1860 Hamilton County, Washington Twp PO Eagletown #1020/1020 National Archive Series / Microfilm Number: M653 / 263 Census Page # 360A Lines 15-16 SAMUEL MORROW 21 m Hd /100 IN Nancy 22 f IN William L. 9/12 F?
