Isabella Boyd ~ John Morrow

Butler Co., PA

---

John Morrow was born near Kittanning, Armstrong county, son of Thomas and Susan Morrow, natives of Donegal county, Ireland. He was reared in his native township, and married Isabella Boyd, a native of Monaghan county, Ireland, who came with her parents to the United States when four years of age, her mother dying on ship-board en voyage. The young couple located on a farm in Armstrong county, where they lived about twenty years, and then removed to Jefferson county. After a short residence in the latter county, they came to Butler county, in 1846, and purchased a farm in what is now Concord township, which they began improving. They spent the remainder of their lives thereon, Mrs. Morrow dying August 8, 1882, aged ninety-four years, and her husband, in November, 1888, aged ninety years. They were the parents of seven children, as follows: James, of Concord township; Susan, wife of James Phillips; Elizabeth, wife of John Forsythe; John, a resident of Leavenworth, Kansas; Robert, of Donegal township; Eleanor Jane, and William, the two last mentioned being dead.
