General Notes: Husband - Jeremiah Morrow


After receiving the best English education to be had in the schools of that day in the vicinity of Gettysburg, he immigrated to the territory northwest of the Ohio, arriving in the Miami country in the spring of 1795. After surveying land and opening a farm between the Miami Rivers, he was elected a member of the Territorial Legislature, and entered upon the political career which made him one of the most distinguished men in the early history of Ohio. He was the first representative in Congress from Ohio, a United States senator and twice governor of that state. A county and a town in Ohio were named in his honor.
