James Morrow, Jr. was born in Pendleton District, South Carolina around 1774.[1][2]
He was probably the James Morrow who served in Rowe's Regiment, South Carolina Militia, during the War of 1812.[3]
He was still in Pendleton District, South Carolina, around 1806 or later, when his friend John Russell named him as executor of his estate.[4]
By 1825, he had purchased land in Alabama.[5]
James Morrow was enumerated at Randolph County, Alabama for the December 2, United States Census, 1850. He was noted as born 1774 in South Carolina and a farmer as seen in this image of the original census. Also included in the household are female Catharine Morrow, male Benj Morrow and female Emily Morrow.[6]
James Morrow, Jr. is buried at Mount Prospect Baptist Church in Wedowee, Randolph County, Alabama.[7]

I show an Agnes Mahoon as an additional spouse and they had a child named William Lionel Morrow in 1793. My cousin has this information and I have no additional citation or document to confirm this. According to my cousin's research this is his lineage: Father/Mother: James Morrow, Jr/Agnes Mahoon > William Lionel Morrow/Rachel Drake > William Lionel Morrow, Jr/Elizabeth Forsythe > Thomas Wilson Morrow/Emmoline Peck > Raymond Anson Morrow/Etoile Jared > Jared Kennard Morrow/Mary Louise Dowell > Tom Morrow I am interested in confirming if James really had three wives and Agnes may have been the first. Thanks, Norma J Dowell
