I found this very interesting as I have two Morrow lines.

One is Hiram Morrow of Stark Co., OH., who seems to have come from
somewhere in PA and bought land from a McDowell (Elizabeth). He died
(I think he died but maybe didn't) about 1828. I don't know where he was
born as several different sources say several different places.

The other is James Morrow (d. c1798) of Greenbrier Co., WVa., who was
distantly involved with the Rheas/Wrays/Rays. I don't have anything
further back on him either.

Lots of coincidences in all of this, isn't there?
