Janean- The information I have on the ancestors of John MORROW and Mary SUTTON comes from a book titled "Knox: James Knox, Sr. and Elizabeth Craig Knox and their Descendants" compiled by Lorene K. Peterson and Jennie Bell Lyle, published by Peterson Printers in 1981. The book is out of print but you may be able to find it in the genealogical section of your library. I think that there is a copy of it in the Walker County Library in Jasper, AL, and in the Denver Public Library in Denver, CO, but I can't remember where I originally found it. I was able to purchase a used copy via eBay a couple of years ago. John MORROW was supposed to be one of the sons of Samuel MORROW, b. about 1743 in Ireland, d. 08 March 1835 in Tuscaloosa County, AL, and his wife Elizabeth KNOX, b. about 1753 in the Parish of Ballomoney, Antrim County, Ireland, d. between 1827 and 1833 in Fayette County, AL. Samuel MORROW is buried in the Greenwood Cemetery in Tuscaloosa County, AL. He was a Revolutionary War Veteran. This particular John MORROW was born abt. 1780 in Richburg (Chester Co.), SC, and died before the 1850 census, probably in Walker County, AL. His wife, Mary SUTTON, was b. 30 Sept. 1784 in Chester Co., SC, and d. 1860-1870 in Walker County. A COLE family Researcher, Nita Reed, whom I contacted via the Cole Family GenForum told me that she thought that both John MORROW and Mary SUTTON were buried in the Sardis Cemetery near Cordova in Walker County. I visited that cemetery on a trip to Walker County two years ago but was unable to locate any marked graves for them. If you contact the Walker County (AL) Genealogical Society they may be able to check their cemetery surveys to see if they can give you more information. Their web site can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Ealwalker/ I am descended from two of their sons: Samuel MORROW (listed as John MORROW in the 1860 census), b. abt. 1808 in TN (Nita Reed says b. 15 June 1808 in Bedford Co., TN), and died some time after the 1880 census, probably in Walker County (again, Nita Reed says he died 23 April 1891 in Walker County). He is one of my g-g-grandfathers. Samuel MORROW married Lydia BARTON, b. about 1806 in NC, d. after the 1880 census, probably in Walker County, AL. Lydia's father, Moses BARTON, was one of the pioneer settlers in Walker County. Jacob Sutton MORROW, b. 05 May 1813 in Bedford County, TN, d. 08 January 1895 in Cleburne (Johnson County), TX, is another of my g-g-grandfathers. Jacob Sutton MORROW was married 05 Sept. 1839 in Ft. Houston, TX, to Louisa Adeline BOX, b. 30 January 1824 in Blount Co., AL, d. 12 March 1902 in Sterling City (Sterling Co.), TX. Jacob Sutton MORROW is buried in the Morrow Cemetery, located west of Grandview on FM 916 at CR 419 in Johnson County, TX. Louisa Adeline Box MORROW is buried in the Sterling City Cemetery in Sterling, TX. J. S. MORROW was a pioneer settler of Texas, and was an Indian Scout out of Ft. Houston in Anderson County, TX. He was also a Captain of the Grandview Cavalry (CSA) from Johnson County, TX, during the Civil War.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JN2.2ACIB/1496 Message Board Post: This is the only info I have on my great-grandparents. It was written by my aunt about 25 years ago. My father, I.K. Morrow, and my mother Emma Carey Morrow, were born in Coffee County, Kansas and were married at Yates Center, Kansas. There were five of us children: Frank, Fred, Clifford(Jason's grandfather), Elsie and Orist. I was seven years old when in 1909 the family moved to Hardtner, Kansas from Woodward, Oklahoma so my father and Frank could work on the railroad that was being built from Wichita to Hardtner. Everyone at the railroad camp just east of Hardtner and later moved into town lived in tents for a while. My father and Frank later worked with their teams doing various kinds of work, stacked wheat in harvest, hauled water for a steam engine of a threshing machine all summer and fall, and later farmed. There was no school until abou the first of January, 1910, when a schoolhouse was moved into town and the summer of 1911 a new schoolhouse was built. The high school was started in 1914 with three high school students and several eighth graders, and one teacher, Miss Emma Whitton of Kiowa. Frank served in the navy in World War I, had a homestead in Baca County, Colorado, and lived there many years. He married Minnie Hardin of Hardtner and had a daughter, Peggy. After Minnie's death he married Maude Rorex of Springfield, Colorado, and after her death he spent three and a half years in my home before spending some time with his daughter. Peggy and her husband, Robert Tolley, have three children: Shirley, Donald, and Judy. They live in Woodbridge, Virginia and Robert is a teacher employed by the Fairfax Board of Education. Peggy is a graduate of Western State College, Gunnison, Colorado. Robert is a graduate of West Virginia Tech, Montgomery, West Virginia, and Western State College, Gunnison; and he served in the Army from 1952 to 1954. Shriley attended Victors Beauty, Alexandria, Virgina and is employed as a teacher there; and her husband, Charles Moon Jr., is in the Marines. Donald is 18 and Judy is 14. Fred served in the army in France in World War I, married Bertha Myers of Hardtner, and was a farmer and mechanic. Clifford married Lousie Sutton, now Mrs. Louise Rebel of Alva, Oklahoma and they had three sons; Allan, Charles and David, who is deceased. Allen spent twenty years in the Navy and he and his wife, Mary, live in Oxnard, California. They have three children: Donald, 13; Brenda, 11; and Felecia, seven months old. Charles is a graduate of Alva High School and Northwestern Oklahoma State University, Alva, Oklahoma. He served in the Oklahoma National Guard and is a farmer northwest of Alva, Oklahoma. Elsie is also a graduate of Northwestern, Alva, Oklahoma, and taught school for four years in Barber County. She married Cecil Houston and they farmed and ranched near Hardtner before they moved into town. Cecil was a son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Houston and spent most of his life in this area. Orist served in the Air Force in World War II and was a farmer and mechanic. My husband, parents, brothers, nephew, and two sisters-in-law are buried in the Hardtner cemetery.

I have not made an academic study of this but I pick up every story I hear. Of course I want to trace this family back to John Morow, Stone mason from Paris who built Melrose Abbey in the Scottish borders but Morrow is considered a variant of Murphy in some Irish Name books. In other books it comes from England but is considered now to be more common in Ulster. >From the (Oxford?) dictionary morrow noun (the morrow) archaic: or poetic/literary: the following day: on the morrow they attacked the city. the time following an event: in the morrow of great victory, will they show some equanimity? the near future: we have the religious enthusiast who takes no thought for the morrow. -ORIGIN Middle English morwe, from Old English morgen. Could the Morrows have descended from Dermott MacMorrough, King of Leinster (1152). He formed an allaince with the Normans during the invassion of Ireland. The MacMorroughs were one of the five septs that in the Pale had immunity from the Brehon code in Henry II reign. Art MacMorrough Kavanagh was dreaded (b1357 c1375 - 1417) throughout South east Ireland 1500. A son of Brian Boru was Morrough- he commanded the Dalcassians in a fight against the Norsemen. They won but lost Brian, Morrough and others. (I deduced this one myself only to find other people had earlier thought the same). Dictionary of Surnames (1994) Oxford Partrick Hankes and Flavia Hodges Irish and Scots; Anglicized form of the Gael personal name Murchadh, composed of the elements Muir sea and cadh warrior; cf McMorrough and Murphy Vars Morrough, Murrow, Murrough. (I have heard this story from several sources). I think Harrison (a well respected book from about 1890 published in England) says that Morrow is english, meaning of the Moor Row (a family living in a cottage on the street leading out to the moor). ORIGIN OF MORROW (via William Morrow, England) The following is an abstract from a letter to Mrs. Abbie C. Morrow received by her sometime between 1890 and 1895 from a party (name unreadable) residing in Morrowstown, Ireland. "The family is probably of French origin, from Moreau one of many Hugenots who left France after the revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685 and landed in Scotland. The name Moreau got changed by common usage among English speaking people into Morrow. According to the British Heraldy Book, Morrow is the correct orthhography, but it seems of French origin. Our first projenitor after this time was James Morrow who who fought at the battle of Killicrankie July 27th, 1689, as an adherent of William III of England. His party was beaten and he was taken prisoner, finally escaping with a fellow prisoner named David Kain. They got on board a coal vessel at Lroanayrshire bound for Glenarg, County Antrim, Ireland. On landing the two refugees went into the country about 6 miles to Glenhead, where in due time they married Farmer Gilland's two daughters. The said James Morrow had seven sons: David, James, John, Robert, Thomas, Andrew, William. David retained the homestead at Glenhead. One brother went to Antrim, one brother went to County Derry, one brother went to Tyrone(?), one brother went to Armagh (?), and two went to County Down. I(the unknown writer) come from the stock of David who retained the old place, Morrowstown it is still called. The southern Morrows are likely from the Armagh branch, John having gone there>" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- There is a Morrow's point on Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland. Chris Morrow, Edinburgh Researching William Morrow, Timulkenny, Drumcree William John Morrow, Painter, Glagow Recorded as Murphy in the 1881 Scotish Census (Illiterate with an Irish accent).

Most of us? As near as I can tell, there is no common thread for a "most of us" who are laboring to trace our Morrow ancestry. While Morrow was only the 525th most common American surname in the 1990 census, that's still enough of us for it to have evolved from different sources for different lines. I've met Morrow researchers who believed their name was rooted in the French Moreau or Italian Moro, for example. Certainly the tradition in my family says ours derived from the Scots clan Murray and passed through Northern Ireland as Morrow. My own Protestant Irish immigrant ancestor to the US, Charles Morrow, settled in Bucks County, PA, about 1800. Some in the family think he was from County Down; I don't know why they believe that. His grave marker says he was born in 1782, so he apparently migrated as a teen-ager -- that fact alone may partly explain why there is much uncertainty about his origins. I've found Morrows from Australia, Canada, and various parts of the US who share similar oral traditions to that of my family. If it has no substance, it seems odd that the same tale should crop up so many places. On the other hand, I've never found anyone who could document this traditional tale -- which may simply mean it is rooted deeper than the age of widespread record-keeping, but could also imply the story is bogus.
