Linda, I can't answer the question as to who Five Morrow Men covers. However, a descendant of your ancestor James M. Morrow m. Frances Hester joined the Morrow DNA project. I am told he is the son of William Morrow m. Rutha, who settled in Polk Co, MO before 1850. He matches what we call Group 6, which is a collection of families that, in several cases, moved from North Carolina to Missouri. Two of them are believed to be brothers. http://www.werelate.org/wiki/User:Amelia.Gerlicher/MorrowDNA#6_NC_Brothers Amelia ______________________ Amelia Morrow Gerlicher amorrow@post.harvard.edu Co-Administrator, Morrow DNA Project Overview: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~amorrow/morrowdna.htm Researched lines: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/~morrowdna On Feb 16, 2009, at 1:00 AM, morrow-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2009 11:16:18 -0600 > From: "Linda Gilchrest" <ldg@cctc.net> > Subject: Re: [MORROW] Five Morrow Men > To: morrow@rootsweb.com > Message-ID: <web-1046011@mailadmin.cctc.net> > Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8;format="flowed" > > I would also like to find out what branch of family this is.
