VA(WV) census that I found the "Fowler" listed. I didn't know that the Morrow Farm was willed to a Fowler. Was this the same farm as Elizabeth Elder Morrow and husband James Morrow lived on? The thing that "gets" me is that in the 1850's John Elder will and land grant he's a "Fowler" and in the 1850 TC Census he's "Fowler" but in 1827 when Elizabeth Elder marries him it's under "Morrow" and then after 1850's back to "Morrow". Every time I work on this mystery I get a headache..LOL...so I just grab an aspirin and pick up on it later...:>) Could James Fowler have been adopted by the Morrow's??? It's the only thing I can come up with right now, not a very good theory maybe.
