WILL A. MORROW was born October 2, 1825, in Person County, N. C., and is a son of John and Mary (Winstead) Morrow, both natives of the same county and State. About 1840 the family came to Hopkins County, now Webster County, and settled on the farm now owned by T. J. Jackson. The father died in November, 1876, aged eighty-two. The mother died in 1850, aged fifty. Our subject was reared on his father's farm, and in 1857 moved to his present farm, which then consisted of 162 1/2 acres of land. This he has since increased to 286 acres, largely improved. He was married, in 1884, to Sarah T. Cox, of Hopkins County. This union has been blessed with eight children—five sons and three daughters.
