Anmerkungen

Profile of son John J. says "D.G. Morrow was born in Tennessee, while his wife was a native of Missouri. He was reared to manhood by his uncle and before 1849 went to Buffalo, Missouri. He tried to enlist for service in the Mexican war but was rejected. He went to California during the gold rush of '49, making the trip with oxen, and he was exceeedingly fortunate in his prospecting, securing a gratifying amount of gold. He then returned to Missouri but in 1852 started on another trip across the plains, driving a number of cattle. He had trouble with the Mormons but succeeded in getting his cattle to their destination with little loss. The return trip was made by way of the Isthmus of Panama and he was shipwrecked on the Bahama reefs, where he was some time later rescued by another crew. He was married at the age of thirty years in Ozark, Missouri, and remained in that state as merchant and stockman until 1861, when he returned to his native state. In 1861, upon the outbreak of the Civil war, he came to Arkansas and enlisted from Marion county. He was with Shelby in his raid through Missouri and was in active service until the close of the war. He then returned to Marion county, this state. He was a stanch supporter of the democratic party and both he and his wife were consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal church, South. Twelve children were born to their union: Cleopatra whose demise occurred at the age of eithteen years; Octavia, deceased, who was the wife of Dr. J.I. Thompson of Yellville; Isephena the wife of Jess Horner, a resident of Yellville; Laura deceased, who was the wife of A.M. Watts; Thomas, engaged in farming in Marion county; Maggie, the wife of J.D. Sims of Lakeland, Florida; Mason, farming in Marion county; Albert, enganged in agricultural pursuits in Oklahoma; Dr. John J, whose name initiates this review; and three other children who died in early life."
