Dear MORROW Researchers:

My cousin Charles SNEAD recently mailed me several pages of genealogy information left to him by his mother Ruth Vivian MORROW Snead, daughter of my great uncle and aunt, John Abraham MORROW (1876-1965) and Eleanor Bethena BLACK (1881-1970).  Four of the pages are typed below.  They were written in an older handwritng than the other pages.  I believe they were copied by hand (possibly by Bethena Black Morrow for her daughter Ruth) from a MORROW Family Bible owned by John Abraham MORROW.  Six other pages on the Morrows, Blacks, and Sneads were in the handwriting of Ruth Vivian Morrow Snead (according to her son Charles).

Ruth Vivian Morrow (1908-1991) married Roy L. Snead (1905-1973) on Nov. 3, 1928.  I am so happy that Ruth had an interest in genealogy and gathered all this information, and I am very grateful to Charles Snead for sharing it with me and giving me permission to share it with you.  I tried to copy it as it was written.
