I found your Joseph Morrow in Amelia Morrow Gerlicher's website "Morrow DNA Project Lines of Descent", below is the link, just click onto and you'll be taken to his webpage. To find previous Morrow generations, just click onto each father's name (underlined). You'll be taken back to the final webpage "NC Irish (Group II) Morrow" which includes the various Morrow lines which have matched yDNA test results (meaning they have been proven kin, biologically). Presently, your line is not represented in the DNA group, so if you know of a living male Morrow from your line, please consider having him join our group, it will prove your paper lineage, biologically. Contact me or Amelia if you wish to join the Morrow DNA testing project. You could sponsor a living male Morrow of your line. That way, you'd be in the loop on the testing progress. Plus, you might want to thank Amelia, Co-Administrator of the Morrow DNA group, for developing the website which now gives you numerous generations back from your Joseph. Her email address is shown at the top of the website you'll be visiting. Meanwhile, I'll email Morrow Group II members and pass your name and email address to them so that they can contact you directly to compare research info.

Juanita, You asked for the maiden name of the wife of Joseph Dillard Morrow. Here's a link showing her name was Ella Dockery http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/oAT.2ACEB/387 but I found other postings of yours discussing Ella Dockery, so I guess you're unsure. Since she died in the 1980's perhaps her death certificate might have her father's and mother's names. Also look for her obituary and check the funeral home which handled her burial, they might have that info.

Nila, I ran the census records on your Lewis Morrow from 1840-1880, probably ground you've already plowed: 1840 Ohio, Butler, Fairfield pg 167 Lewis Morrow 200001-021101 (I noted that a son the age of Lewis Jr is not there, he may have already left home?). 1850 Ohio, Butler, Fairfield, pg 251b: 612/632 Lewis Morrow Sr 46 Ohio, Mary 50, Elizabeth 15, Alexander 13, Lane 11. 613/633 Lewis Morrow 24 Ohio, Martha 22, Rachel 3, Sarah 6/12 1860 Indiana Hendricks Middle pg 790 Pittsborough 764/764 Lewis Morrow 56, Mary 60, Walter 21, Rachel 12 1870 In, Hendricks, Middle pg 481b Pittsboro 168/170 Morrow Lewis 66 Ohio, Mary 71 Pa 169/171 Morrow, Lewis 44 Ohio, Martha 44 Oh, Willliam 17, Lane 10 born Indiana, John 5, Sarah 2. 1880 In, Henricks, Middle pg 445a Lewis Morrow 76 Ohio, father born Ohio, mother born Pa Jennie Elder dau 53 Ohio I also surfed the internet, no luck. Looks like you've hit the proverbial brick wall on finding the parents of your Lewis Morrow. So I recommend you find a living male Morrow from your line and sponsor him in the Morrow DNA testing project. Hopefully the donor will match some of the 73 current members and give you a clue about Lewis's line.

The Morrow line is so confused that is why the DNA group is best for this name. I show Morrow's coming out of Ipswich England and into Norfolk VA. and also have them out of Antrim Ireland into Chester S.C. area. The bad part about this is all the misinformation out there. I have one born in Antrim Ireland and show his father born in Norfolk Va. and his father born Norfolk England, LOL, so you can see how everyone has screwed this all up and possibly confused two or more lines. Best I can direct you is my Morrow line which goes back to John Marlin and Mary Morrow in Derry Ireland. however I do not know what family of Morrows she comes from. I have not been able to attach her to any of them in Chester S.C. with all the Marlins and Adams families who also came out of Derry or Londonderry Ireland. I am very confused by a lot of these Morrow locations here in the states. I show them in both Dallas Co. MO and Dallas Co AL. I also show them in Greene Co. TN and Greene Co. MO. Now a lot of the Marlin, Adams and Morrow lines/marriage went to AR/MO counties around the Poplar Bluff area down in the corner where the two states come together at the river. I found a Greene Co. AR there. OH the madness of it all LOL. I gave up on the Morrow line after about the 100th one with all these varying locations etc. and mine being MARY MORROW.....

Here's a link to your ggdad McKinley Morrow, it shows him with a son Carl D. Morrow: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=morrowdna&id=I501 Just click onto the above link with your cursor and you'll be taken to the McKinley Morrow webpage. Scroll down to where it shows his father William Henson Morrow (underlined) and click on it to be taken to that webpage. Just keep on scrolling down to the fathers name & clicking on it to keep going back. The final webpage shows NC Irish (Group II) Morrow, which connects all Morrow donors of our Group II who are kin to each other. Quick count shows 9 members in Group II. I'll pass your email to them so they can contact you. Suddenly you have ten or more distant cousins (maybe). To actually prove you and they are biological cousins, you would have to have a male Morrow of your line take a DNA test. Amelia and I are Co-Administrators of the Morrow DNA testing project. If you wish to join our group, all that is needed is a living male born with the surname Morrow within your branch. If you aren't a male, perhaps your husband, brother, father or cousin who has a Morrow surname might be the donor and you could be his sponsor. By sponsor I mean your email would be used to correspond between Amelia and myself plus certain staff members of FamilytreeDNA, the company which handles DNA testing. Plus you'd be responsible for any costs for DNA testing. I'll be upfront with the costs involved. If you join by Dec 31, 2007, the 25 marker yDNA test is $135 including mailing the DNA kit to the address of the DNA donor. He'll have to pay costs to mail it back, about $2 if you live in the USA. The DNA sample is a cheek swab, like brushing your teeth, simple & painless. Instructions are included with the DNA kit. The DNA test is only of the Y chromosome and only how many markers you se! lect to test: 12, 25, 37 or 67. Again, I recommend the 25 marker test, it's sufficient to prove kinship, whereas the 12 marker test only shows who is not kin.

Author: BillMorrow38 Surnames: Morrow Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.morrow/2015.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello there, "yet another Bill" Morrow, good to see you have a sense of humor. There are so many Bill Morrows, I always sign "Bill Morrow of Oklahoma" but even here in the Sooner state, there are still alot of Bill Morrows. Thanks to DNA testing, we can now find who is really kin to whom even tho we might have the same name. Incidentally, neither Amelia nor I receive any money or gifts for being Co-Administrators of the Morrow group, it's just part of our hobby of genealogy. We also try to help anybody with their lineage, freebees. I did email Group VI of our Morrow DNA project, hope some of them email you and compare family info. One of the best reasons to have your DNA tested is to find distant cousins you didn't know existed, and to really know they are your blood cousins, proven by DNA testing. Hopefully they will have found more generations back which you can use in your lineage, eg, back past your common ancestor with any donor you match. Yes, even at $135, having your DNA tested seems abit high. But think of it as an early Christmas present to yourself. Plus your branch of Morrows would benefit since you would represent them. A couple of hundred years from now, descendants of your line will be glad you were tested. Getting tested gives you abit of immortality since test results (called your Haplotype) last forever. Your DNA sample will be examined in the lab, I mentioned it's a cheek sample, you brush inside your cheek like brushing your teeth. You place your DNA samples in two vials furnished in the DNA kit mailed to your address. Instructions are included. You mail the kit back to FamilytreeDNA and tests take about 6 weeks. The lab experts find certain markers (dealing with inheritance) and under the microscope, they count the number of DNA repeats at each marker tested. As I mentioned, 25 markers will prove kinship but only if you match at least 23 of the 25 markers with no more than 2 numbers different f! rom another Morrow donor. The DNA repeats at a given marker are called allele. My allele count ran from a low of 8 to a high of 30. So that's alot of numbers to compare. And there's one test available for 67 markers. The more markers tested, the more the test results are defined. But again, 25 markers does the job of proving who's kin to whom. Hope I didn't get too technical on explaining DNA testing. It's a great help to genealogists to have proof positive evidence of kinship. This type testing is not like police DNA tests, or health tests. It is limited to only the DNA of the Y chromosome carried by males which is passed from father to son(s) virtually unchanged over the eons. So your yDNA is very much the same as your ancient Morrow ancestors who lived thousands of years ago. Certain mutations do occur to people's DNA. (Here I go again, getting technical). Mutation is defined as a change in the number of DNA repeats at a given marker. Mutations are caused by (1) Time (2) Radiation occuring naturally on Earth (3) The environment (4) certain serious sicknesses. Hey, I'm going to close before I put everyone asleep.
