Hello Murray, Thanks for your message; I must state that I am not connected to Morrows and the Morrow file is just one of in excess of 1,000 submitted to CTI https://www.cotyroneireland.com/ to date. I hope you found it interesting.
As I am not familiar with Co Monaghan research it has been necessary to undertake a little research to familiarise myself with the geographical area. I am unable to state that there was any connection with the families of Kilmore parish, Co. Monaghan and those of Dungannon Co. Tyrone. Looking at the online tithe applotment books for Co. Monaghan (1820s-30s )http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp I note that there are nine entries for Morrows. Referring to online Griffiths Valuation (c1860) I find there are 17 households In the county. Additionally, Morrow families are rather numerous in Ireland: there are 16 recorded in Tyrone in GV, 35 in Co. Fermanagh and 135 in Co. Donegal. You refer to the history of Cahans Presbyterian Church, Tullycorbet parish; the records of the now closed church have been filmed by the staff of PRONI, Belfast, where they may be consulted: baptisms: 1751-19 and 1767-1971; marriages: 1845-95; communicants’ roll: 1816-26 and 1841-1905; session minutes with discipline cases: 1751-1836; indexes to baptisms and session minutes 1751-1894. PRONI refs: MIC 1P/172 and C.R. 3/25. I am posting this response to the CTI mailing list in the hope that another Morrow researcher may find this response useful. All the best with your research, Len Swindley Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 ________________________________ From: Murray Bryson <bryson...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2019 5:03:00 AM To: len_swind...@hotmail.com <len_swind...@hotmail.com> Subject: Morrow marriages Hello! I've been exploring your Morrow page. Do you have anything on a marriage of Margaret MORROW to a George STUART or STEWART? They are the earliest ancestors in Ireland that we can be certain about. The marriage would be circa 1785. They are recorded in the history of Cahans Presbyterian Church close to Monaghan town and their residence was Slieveroe, Kilmore. That's not very far from Dungannon so I thought there might be a connection to those Morrows. I'm trying to come up some ideas about how my Stewarts landed in Ireland. I believe there may be a multigenerational relationship between Morrows and Stewarts going back to Ayrshire. We are by DNA Darnley Stewarts, possibly of Dunduff, near Ayr (Prestwick). Or, if Morrows were not from there, it could possibly date from the early James I plantation. I'm looking particularly into Portlough, as related Stewarts are among the Undertakers. I see also from 1600s muster rolls and estate maps that Tyrone Plantation settlers included 3 Stewards, 7 Stewarts, one Morrow, and 15 Hamiltons. Thanks for any assistance you can provide in helping me identify the family of Margaret Morrow, because that just may lead me back one or a few generations of Stewarts. Murray Bryson
