In the book LESSLEY-EVANS-HILL-HINES FAMILIES by Ruth Hope Lessley, l977, she gives the date for his birth & death as well as places. She also states he was a Blacksmith & a Baptist.

William Jefferson (Jeffrey) Morrow
Grandma Kate Hill Morrow was married before she married Jeff Morrow & had a boy named Bert Jackson. He was a frail child & they were virtually homeless. She prayed God would send Bertie a Father & her a husband. Then she met Jeff Morrow. He had a boy Willie Morrow & a girl Rose by a previous marriage. Willie's wife's name was Betty. He died of TB as a young man. Bert Jackson was killed in an accident as a young man. He was helping to unload sand and he was buried in it. When they dug him out, his watch was still ticking. Grandma Kate Morrow died of cancer of the uterus.

Thelma (Sid) MitchellGlen Morrow Williams lived with his Grandma & Grandpa Morrow for acouple of years as a young child.
Jeff & Kate Morrow lived on a ranch in Oklahoma at the turn of the Century. Kate was a cook & Jeff was an all-around ranch hand. At some point they moved to southeast Kansas in the Chetopa/Coffeyville area. On the l920 Census they are living in Kansas City, Kansas & he is working as a laborer in a soap factory. I believe my Dad said he worked with Colgate, Palmolive, Peat. At the time of his death, their daughter, Myrtle Morrow Williams Wilbur wasliving with them.
I had been told by the Mitchell family that when the Morrow family set out for Oklahoma by wagon, they were accompanied by at least l of the Mitchell boys who was a cowboy. That was how their youngest daughter, Grace, met Homer Mitchell. I'm not sure if their daughter Myrtle & her new husband John Williams went with them at the time or if they went down later. If they went with them, it would place them in Oklahoma in l9l0. The John & Myrtle Williams family lived close by though, for they lost 2 children to disease & they are buried close to Tulsa, Okla. as that is the general area where they lived. John & Myrtle Williams returned to Mo. after they buried their second child. The Morrows, however, stayed behind.
