I don't think I'm related to your Morrow line, but only yDNA testing would really answer your question. It would take a living male Morrow from your line to be the DNA donor, tho. I've already been tested, and if your donor and I matched yDNA, that would prove we had a common ancestor somewhere back in time. The test results don't say "how" you are kin, just that you are. The lab can predict how far back the common ancestor lived by how close a match occures between donors. My direct Morrow line lived in Maryland during the early 1700's then moved to the Chester County area of South Carolina by 1766, then descendants moved to Fayette County Alabama by 1826, then descendants moved to Chickasaw County Mississippi by 1870, then to Texas by 1893, then into Tishomingo, Indian Territory by 1903, which became part of Johnston County Oklahoma in 1907. My family has lived here since. I'm retired, and the Co-Administrator of the Morrow DNA Testing Project, plus other DNA groups. I'm not paid anything, it's just part of my hobby of genealogy. Why did I research your line? I like to help all Morrow descendants find their Morrow roots. Freebees. That's part of my hobby, too. Sorry I couldn't be more help to you.
