John Morrow, he having been the one to- change the family name from Murray to Morrow, was reared to agricultural pursuits, and when ready to begin life for himself settled at Marsh Creek, southwest of Gettysburg, on land deeded to him by John and Richard Penn, his farm containing 222 acres of land. A man of much ability, he became prominent in public matters, serving not only as county commissioner and justice of the peace, but being a delegate to many township and county conventions, over which he was invariably called upon to preside. He was for many years a valued member of the Rock Creek Church, but later was identified with the Hill Associate Reformed Church, of which he was ruling elder. He died in 1811. He married, November 9, 1768, Miss Mary Lockhart. She died, March 12, 1790, and both are buried in the Marsh Creek Cemetery, west of Gettysburg.
