John MORROW wrote a will dated 14 Sep 1815 recorded Rowan County Book G, p. 398 names: wife Elizabeth eldest sons William and John Morrow daughter Margaret, wife of Hazel DICKEY daughter Jane, wife of James DAVIS Sr. son Allen Morrow son Thomas Morrow son Arthur Morrow daughter Elizabeth, wife of James DAVIS Jr. daughter Nancy (who may have been "not right") son Joseph Morrow daughter Rebecca Morrow mentions land on "the River extending along parallel with James ORTON and William BUTLER". Exec. Allen and Arthur Morrow Wit. Samuel LITTLE, Thomas Morrow Does anyone have further information about ANY of the people named in this will? Particularly, spouses and/or marriage records for the children. Will witnesses and neighboring landowners, also. I'm interested in determining who was the "Elizabeth" who was John Morrow's wife and who were the parents of John Morrow. I believe the oldest son, William Morrow, was born about 1734 and died in 1807, Orange County, North Carolina. Thanks! Myrna Madigan

This probably won't help much, but I am tracing a Davis family that was in Rowan Co area in the mid 1700's. The name James Davis appeared frequently in this family, and I think it was the only Davis surname family in Rowan area at that time. One of the many James Davis could have been James Davis senior in your will. Could be a link, but this family has been very difficult to search. They name all of their children John, James, or Evan. Let me know if you want to pursue this lead any further.

One of the men named James Davis was married to Elinor (last name unknown) who were the parents of Elinor who married John Douthit, Jr. One of their sons was Evan Douthit from whom I descend. James Davis signed the marriage bond for their daughter and John on 8 March 1765 and the record may be found on Rowan Co, NC, Marriage Reel 20 page 2697. Good luck, and I would appreciate learning about their family as well.
