MORROW HISTORY FACTS

As compiled by Janelle Morrow Walker Warden, 2006

The Morrow Clan came from Northern Ireland to Pennsylvania or Somerset County, Maryland stopping off in Prince Edward Co., Virginia before making their way to Guilford County, North Carolina and Buffalo Creek where David Morrow unknown ancestor started a family before moving to Indian Land, Lancaster County, South Carolina. (1780-1790 Lancaster was a part of Mecklenburg, NC being in the panhandle of what is now South Carolina). It is uncertain as to how many and who of the MORROWS went West to North Carolina; however, they did seem to stay in groups of people who migrated from Ireland and Scots-Irish to America. Some may have been more adventurous and decided to strike out on their own to other parts. It is also uncertain if Martha Brashear was born in Virginia or North Carolina. If Martha was really born in Guilford County, NC then James Morrow the first child was most likely born there. The other children were recorded as being born in Guilford Co., Buffalo Crk, NC and then the family made their move south to Mecklenburg-Lancaster-Waxhaw. The above mentioned James Morrow of David & Martha Brashear Morrow has not been well documented and is a mystery in our researching. Some say James McKnight Morrow is their son but our family researchers say not; however, our James McKnight Morrow 1765-1829 was certainly following David & Martha Morrow and family all around. James and Susannah Watson were married in Surry Co., NC where David & Martha lived at one time before the move to Lancaster Co., SC/NC Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Library , Charlotte, NC has a Genealogy Department with the Record and History of descendants of James McKnight Morrow & Allen Watson Morrow, c1968 by Azalee Morrow Lentz. Also found in the Lancaster County Public Library in Lancaster, SC was additions to the Morrows by Louise Pettus along with information posted by Worth S. Ray who has numerous materials about the Morrows. [Worth Ray has some good material in his book "Tennessee Cousins" but you do have to figure out which Morrow is the correct one. With the help of these researchers and their publications, I have formed my own theory to my MORROWS while living in the Carolinas before making their way to East Tennessee

As told by previous researchers: the Morrows were originally from Northern Ireland as early as 1700. They made their way to the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Prince Edward County and Lunenburg, Virginia. [Some emigrated to Guilford County, North Carolina. It is in Guilford County on Buffaloe Creek where David Morrow established a home with Martha Brashear Morrow]. Recently we have found through DNA testing that David Morrow is the son of James Morrow 1715 Colerain twsp., PA- 1775 Lancaster Co., PA and married to Ann Unknown. As previously thought by my family that David and Martha were the parents of my James McKnight Morrow, which today seems improbable but he certainly must connect in someway with the family. A trip to Guilford County, NC library may hold the key. Our James McKnight Morrows married Susannah Watson December 31, 1785 in Surry Co., NC (David & Martha were in Surry Co. also) and a movement was made to Lancaster County, South Carolina on the Six Mile Creek or 'Bel Aire" as the community was called. In 1790 in Mecklenburg County, the Morrows, Maxwells and McKnights were living in districts #1 and #7 ; that is, Steel Creek and Beatties Ford Section. That area of Mecklenburg and Lancaster were much considered to be North Carolina

David Morrow the first son of James McKnight and Susannah Watson Morrow is my brick wall. David was born January 4, 1788 most likely in Indian Land, Lancaster Co., South Carolina. I want to say David may have gone south either to Tennessee or Mississippi or even Texas. A David Morrow died before November 19, 1832 in Rutherford Co., Tennessee. Silas Tucker was appointed guardian for William Morrow, Sally Morrow, John Robert Morrow, Nancy Morrow and Silas Morrow, minor heirs of David Morrow Does anyone know who this family descends from?

Major Benjamin Morrow, second son of James McKnight and Susannah Watson Morrow, married (his third wife) Mary Jane Hawkins, daughter of Governor William Hawkins, and whose old home is at Pineville, North Carolina. Major Morrow's home was in what is now Myers Park, Charlotte, North Carolina. The family must have thought highly of Major Benjamin Franklin Morrow who served in the Mexican War, because most everyone of them named a son Benjamin Franklin Morrow. Major Benj was married three times. The first wife Catherine M. is buried in the Old Settlers' Cemetery in Charlotte, NC. along with a son and other family members. Benj himself, is buried in the Elmwood Cemetery in Charlotte with Mary Jane Hawkins Morrow the second wife. Not sure where the third wife Elizabeth Stitt is buried, maybe Elmwood Cemetery? Elizabeth and Benjamin were married January 22, 1857 Providence, Mecklenburg, Co., North Carolina; one known son John L. Morrow born 1861 and died August 6, 1926 and is buried in Elmwood Cemetery. John L was a produce merchant

James McKnight Morrow was in Indian Land, Lancaster, SC in 1786 and had settled there ; helping to organize the Old Six Mile Creek Church, an old log church on the Henry Harris Rd. just off the Lancaster-Charlotte Highway. The old church is no longer there, but the Six-mile Cemetery has been restored and some of the grave stones have been re-erected; some have stood through the years. There may be a hundred graves there; some are unmarked. James M. Morrow and wife Susannah Watson Morrow and also some of the children are buried there. It was noted that James M. Morrow and wife received a land grant of six hundred and fifty acres. The old cemetery was called the Morrow Cemetery years ago. Today, the property around the land and the cemetery is well kept. As the present owner of the land told Janelle, the road was once called the Old Charlotte Highway and people would camp on Six Mile Creek.

ALLEN MORROW, son of JAMES MCKNIGHT MORROW, gave the land for the New Six Mile Church. He also helped build the church. Many members of the Morrow family, and relatives of the Morrows, are buried in the New Six Mile Cemetery. BILLY GRAHAM, evangelist, has ancestors buried in the New Six Mile Cemetery as well as the Old Six Mile Cemetery. His mother was MORROW COFFEY GRAHAM, daughter of BENJAMIN COFFEY who was in the Battle of Gettysburg. Benjamin married LUCINDA ROBINSON. JAMES MORROW COFFEY and ELIZA AGNES ALEXANDER were the parents of Benjamin and RUFUS COFFEY. Rufus the father of Rose Amanda as pictured above. He is the great-great-great grandson of James McKnight Morrow

ALLEN WATSON MORROW was the fifth and youngest son of James McKnight and SUSANNAH WATSON MORROW. He and his descendants remained in the Carolinas. One especially, JAMES MCKNIGHT MORROW, III settled in Albemarle, North Carolina where he was a merchant of hardware with his brother, Robert Allen Morrow. Later he bought real estate and in 1939 he gave over 1100 acres to the state of North Carolina which was named MORROW MOUNTAIN STATE PARK. See my photos of MORROW MTN below. This family is buried in Monroe City (Suncrest) Cemetery Union Co., Monroe, NC

	The Spratt Cemetery was on Spratt land some 400 yards back of the Spratt home at what is now the corner of Fourth and Caswell Rds. Tradition is that the cemetery was destroyed when Vail Ave. was opened for traffic. The stones were thrown into a gully and covered with 15 feet of dirt. When the nurses home for Mercy Hospital was being built and excavating done for the basement four of these stones were found. The hospital gave the stones to the City Council. Mr. Victor Shaw was mayor and with his consent of the council, the four stones were placed in a concrete base in the cemetery behind the First Presbyterian Church in Charlotte. They can be found to the left on the first walk as you enter the iron gate. (compiled by Mrs. Robert McDowell)	Old Settlers' Cemetery, Charlotte, North Carolina	Janelle Morrow Walker Warden
