DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with James by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with James:
Morrow-1685 and Morrow-1240 appear to represent the same person because: Morrow 1685 was a combination of 3 different James. Given spouse/child, it has been edited into James 1823-1902, and should be merged with the existing profile of that man.
This page was a combination of 3 James (son of Alfred, husband of Serena, husband of Levenia). Revised to be husband of Levenia, so rejected match with husband of Serena).
This profile combines two James Morrows. One m. Sirena Hampton in 1853 in Yancey County and appeared in the census there through 1900. They are the parents of Susannah. The other was born in Tennessee, married Levina Maddocks in Macon Co, MO before 1850, moved to Texas before 1870, and died in Oklahoma. (See rejected match Morrow 1240 below).
