Donegal / The Morrow family of Muineagh
« on: Friday 05 May 23 17:01 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone is connected to the Morrow family of Muineagh in the Fanad area of NE Donegal in the parish of Clondevaddock.
I wonder if anyone has discovered where they were before coming to Donegal. My grandmother was born in Muineagh; her great grandfather Matthew Morrow was born in 1775. He emigrated to Pennsylvania where he is found on the 1850 US census. Alexander Morrow died in Muineagh in 1799 and may have been Matthew’s father born c.1750. Matthew married Mary Wilson from Magherabeg in 1799. She died in 1846 which may well have influenced Matthew to join his son Gideon and daughter Letitia in the US.
Any information on this Morrow family would be deeply appreciated.
