General Notes: Husband - John Morrow

---

The particular branch of the Morrow family that we here record were Presbyterians of long standing, and it was but natural that when, in 1811, two of its members, John and his wife, Margaret (Gillespie) Morrow, of Moira, County Down, Ireland, reached Pennsylvania, they should seek a home in Indiana County, and later in eastern Armstrong County, where they found a veritable Presbyterian stronghold. This couple had been united in marriage some eight or nine years before leaving their native land, by their pastor, Rev. Isaac Allen, and when they reached America were the parents of four children. To this number six later were added, making in all a family of ten. [CAB, 709]

Like many of the Ulster people, John Morrow was a linen weaver, and, in his pioneer home in western Pennsylvania, through the fruit of his loom, purchased a homestead in the rapidly growing community.

This family, in 1812, removed to what is now the vicinity of West Lebanon, Indiana County, and two years later to Armstrong County.

He settled in Cowanshannock township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits until his death, when he was in the eightieth year of his age. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church, and an old line whig.
