    1. Seeking parents of William Kinchen MORROW (b ~1830’s)
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0hB.2ACI/558 Message Board Post: I’m seeking any information/documentation showing that my ancestor William Kinchen MORROW is the same person as the W.K. MORROW showing up in the household of Samuel MORROW in the 1860 census of Maury Co, TN as wells as in the 1850 census of Giles County, TN. What I know: My gggf William Kinchen MORROW (b ~1830’s, d 1873) married my gggm Mary Elizabeth MCKISSICK (b 23 SEP 1863, d after 1900) in Maury County, TN 19 FEB 1865. Several old sources refer to William as “Capt” but I’ve never found any information about that. While several of Mary’s brothers served with the Confederate forces during the Civil War, two of her youngest brothers served in the same Union company of Samuel. I have seen several compiled genealogies that list Samuel as William Kinchen’s father, but none of them that I’ve seen so far had any documentation. In some of those compiled histories, William Kinchen is listed as moving out of state to Bolivar County, MS shortly after the murder of Samuel MORROW in Maury County by a band of masked men in Aug 1969. Some of the accounts of this murder make it sound like they might have been after Samuel’s children as well. Thanks in advance for anything you can share! Greg Morrow Austin Texas
