VA/WV. I do know Edgar Elder and know about his info in his book concerning the Morrow and Fowler controversy. Another researcher and I are attempting to figure out this little mystery unless I'm being completely dense here..LOL... #1 Elizabeth Elder d/o John Elder and Margaret McHenry married James Morrow in HC in 1827 as the record reads. THen in John Elder's 1850 will he indicates her name to be "Elizabeth Fowler" . In the property records of Taylor Co. VA/WV John Elder and his second wife Agnes grants land to "James Fowler .....with love and affection". In the Taylor Co. VA/WV census appears: James Fowler age 45 born Tennessee Elizabeth age 50 born Tennessee Ralph age 20 born Tennessee John age 18 born Tn William age 16 born TN (unreadable female) age 14 born TN Margaret age 10 born TN Nancy (could be Mary)age 8 born TN Elizabeth age 7 born TN Also I have seen other Morrow researchers having James and ELizabeth Morrow as having a child Margaret born 1870....this is not correct as ELizabeth would have been 69 when this Margaret was born.....nope...... I am in the process of talking to Edgar Elder about this but haven't sent it out snail mail to him (he prefers to correspond this way) Can anyone clear this up? Jana
