Hello cousins, I'm researching Lewis Morrow of Butler Co, Ohio. He was born about 1803 in Ohio, was in Butler County for sure from 1826-1856, then lived in Hendricks Co IN (near Pittsboro) 1856-1880. I can't find a death record for him in Hendricks Co, but another cousin believes he died there in 1885. He was married three times. His first wife was Sarah Paisel or Parsel; his second wife was Sarah Durham Robertson, and his third wife was Mary. I descend from the second wife, by whome he had the following children: Martha (b. abt 1832), Sarah Elizabeth (b. abt 1835), Lewis Alexander (b. 15 Oct 1836) and Walter Lane (b. 12 Sep 1838). Lewis Jr. had a son named Abner, which I've noticed is a common Morrow name. I know there was a Robert Morrow who was an early settler of Hamilton Co OH. The part of Hamilton Co where my Morrows lived became Butler Co OH in 1803. So far I haven't been able to find a connection. There was also a second Morrow family in Butler Co at the same time -- John Morrow who married Mary Robeson. He was evidently a brother to Governor Jeremiah Morrow of Warren Co OH, but they appear to be unrelated to Lewis. My only clue as to where my Morrows came from (prior to Ohio) is that Hamilton Co was part of a military grant for Virginia's revolutionary war veterans. Does anybody know who Lewis' parents were or where this line orignates? Thanks for any help, Nila

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.
