Thomas Morrow
William Morrow, the father of the above, was born in Pennsylvania in 1777. He married Brittana Clark in 1802, with whom he raised a family of eight children. In 1814 they came to Ohio, and located temporarily in Upper Piqua. In 1815 he entered land, and located within the present limits of Loramie Township, where he and his wife died in 1857.
The name Morrow originally was written Murray, and there are some who still write it in that manner. The Morrows of Shelby County are of the same family of Gov. Jeremiah Morrow.
Thomas Morrow was born in Pennsylvania in 1804, came with his father, William Morrow, to Loramie in 1815. He lived with his parents until he was about nineteen years of age, when he went to learn the carpenter trade. In 1831 he married Mary A. Patterson, of Dayton, Ohio. By this union they had eight children, four of whom lived to grow up, viz., Theodore A., Thomas E., William M., and Emma L. Mrs. Morrow died in 1849. In 1851 Mr. M. married Leah Ashton. By this marriage they had six children, three of whom are living, viz., Maggie, Bell, and Harry. Mr. Morrow from the time he went to learn the trade in 1824 did not reside in the county until 1859, when he returned and located on the old homestead of his father. It is now sixty-eight years since he first came to the place where he now lives.
