General Notes: Husband - Henry Morrow


He came from Ireland, and settled in Penn township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, about 1795. He died in his eighty-fourth year, the father of ten children. [HAC 1889 ii, 460]

His ancestors came to Baltimore, Maryland, from New Castle, Ireland, the earliest known branch of the Morrow family to settle in America. They made their way to the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania and settled near Greencastle. It was from here that he and his brother brother, James Morrow, came with their wives and families to find homes in the land beyond the Alleghenies in western Pennsylvania.
Their new home was in old Pitt Township, Westmoreland County. The tract of more than 340 acres was called "The Flying Shuttle". It was "situate" on the old Forbes Road and had been purchased by Elizabeth's father, William Hannah, from the Penns. The grant was from Thomas Penn and John, his brother, and was secured by a patent dated 1723. Richard Penn, whose name also appears on the patent when it was returned for record in 1772, was at that time Governor of the Province of Pennsylvania. On an abstract dated 1722, it is stated that a survey was made the following May.
He was a cooper by trade and old receipts show him to have had a coopering shop in Greencastle. He plied this trade also in the new home.
He joined Beulah Church and the family was for many years identified with that congregation in which he long served as an officer.
He was a Democrat in politics. He was elected tax collector of Pitt Township to collect all taxes outside of Pittsburgh. He held the office until his death.
