The Family of Joseph MORROW and (1) Eleanor LOCK
 (2) Mary Ann DOWNS
(5th. Generation)

16 Joseph MORROW, b. 25 Jan 1809, Frederick Co., MD, s/o James and Sarah HARTSOCK MORROW, d. 15 Jun 1882, Summit Point, Jefferson Co., WV, m. 1st. 15 Nov 1832, Jefferson Co., WV, Sarah Ellen (Eleanor) LOCK, b. between 1800 and 1810, d/o John LOCK. She d. between 1840 and 1850, in Jefferson Co., WV, burial unknown. He m. 2nd., 1 Apr 1852, Jefferson Co., WV, (17) Mary Ann DOWNS, b. 6 Apr 1814, VA or MD?, d/o Benjamin? and Ruth C. WARK DOWNS, d. 22 Feb 1881, Summit Point, WV. Both are buried in Edge Hill Cemetery, Charles Town, WV. There were 4 children by the first wife, and three by the second. Joseph MORROW was born in 1809 in Frederick Co., MD. His name first appears in a list of Sunday School participants in the Presbyterian Church in Gerrardstown (then Middletown), Berkeley Co., VA (now WV). The family had moved there between 1810 and 1820. They then moved down the valley south of Winchester to the vicinity of the other Middletown, in Frederick Co., VA. There Joseph appears in a deed concerning his father. By 1832, he is in Jefferson Co., VA, where he marries his first wife, Sarah Ellen LOCK. They lived at WHITE HOUSE FARM in Summit Point. She was the daughter of John LOCK, and their is some indication that the families had prior contact while living in Maryland. (Another family connection: who was Lizzie Leach?) By trade, Joseph was a blacksmith and farmer, and possibly a butcher by the number of  butchering tools listed in his estate account.  He also must of had some success in buying and selling property, as can be seen by the number of land transactions in which he was involved. He appears to have been well educated for the time, by the number of estates he was appointed executor of, both in the family and out of the family. By 1850, his first wife had died, and he married Mary Ann DOWNS. They lived at White House Farm in Summit Point, WV, a small town, nine miles west of Charles Town. The White House had belonged to the LOCKS and Joseph bought it from his first four children who had inherited it from their deceased mother. It was eventually passed on to R. W. MORROW (1853-1900) and wife Lilly Muse WALTON MORROW. It is interesting to note that the first physician in the Shenandoah Valley, Dr. John MCCORMICK an ancestor of Lilly MORROW, built this house, and it became her property 150 years later. Joseph and Mary lived here until their deaths. During the Civil War, a skirmish ensued across the road at the spring house. A union major and five troopers were killed in the battle. Joseph MORROW and his daughters, Kate and Josephine , had been standing out beside the fence talking to the Confederate troop when the Union soldiers attacked. This episode was recounted in Jefferson County Camp, UCV, Military Operations in Jefferson Co., WV 1861-1865. The family of Joseph MORROW had spread far and wide as you will see, except for the sons, Joseph Randolph and R. W  In the 1880 census, it states that Joseph MORROW'S mother was b. in IRE. There is a persistent story that some members of the HARTSOCK family were born in Ireland. At some point, the HARTSOCK family emigrated to the colonies, and along the way the ship was wrecked on the coast of Ireland, where one or two members of the family were born. The story has been repeated in several documents, but the compiler feels certain with the information now printed in the HARTSOCK history, that it was not Joseph's mother, but member of an earlier family. More research needs to be completed to document or undocumented this story, whatever the case may be. Furthermore, the person interviewed in the 1880 Census, many be referring to Joseph MORROW'S grandmother, Margaret HILTON which is much more likely.(O2, WVNP1 15 Jun 1882, WVJEB1, 2, 3 p22 Dec 1971, WVJE2, 3, 4, 6, 11-15) Children:

16.6 Mary Josephine MORROW, b. 1856, Summit Point, WV, d. ?, m. Thomas DALE, British Vice Consul to Chihuahua, Mexico, b. England, d. 1938, Chihuahua, Mexico. Josie was missionary to New Mexico, but where and when she met and married Thomas DALE is not known. At  the time of death of sister-in-law Lilly MORROW, she took in two of the minor children, William Hamilton and Mary Neill MORROW. After the death of Thomas DALE, Josie seems to have disappeared. A great deal of  energy has been expanded to find her, but to no avail. We do know that the compiler's name 'Dale' and the name of the son of Mary Neill MORROW CAMPBELL came from this man we know very little about. Before her death, Josie sent to William Hamilton MORROW of Hagerstown some jewelry, including a gold watch with diamonds, and an opal ring. It isn't clear, but either W. H. or his wife, Reika sold the opal ring, because they were supposed to bring bad luck. (ENG1, PI3, 12, LE11)

16.7 Emma Katherine V. MORROW, b. 1857 (WVJE1, MOPIB1), Summit Point, Jefferson Co., WV, d. ?, m. 13 Apr 1882, Summit Point, WV, Ernest R. CRUTCHER, b. 20 Mar 1858, Nashville, TN, s/o William H. & Mary C. FOSTER CRUTCHER, d. 7 Jan 1948, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., CA. He was cremated (CAR1, CANP1). After their marriage, they moved to Louisiana, Pike Co., MO, where Ernest was in practice as a doctor. He had boarded with William Hamilton MORROW in 1880 (PIC5, WVJE1), where he probably met Aunt Kate. By 1886, they moved to Great Falls, MT (O3), and then by 1900 (obituary of  R. W. MORROW 1853-1900) to California. From a grand niece in MO, a letter states that Ernest was a Mason in Masonic Lodge in L.A., and that her uncle worked with the son (William Hamilton CRUTCHER) of Ernest and Kate in a factory during the war. A letter to Elizabeth BUSEY in 1928 from Kate gives the impression that she was teaching in a girl's academy.  2005: New information has come to light though the census records. In 1810 Kate is living with son David in Morrow Co., OR. In 1920, Earnest CRUTCHER is living alone in Los Angeles, and Kate his wife, is living with her daughter, Ruth, in Palo Alto, Santa Clara, CA. It would appear on the surface, that Kate and Earnest were living apart after 1900. (CALA7, CAR1, CASC7, FH1, MOPIB1, ORMW2) Children:

16.7a David Ernest CRUTCHER, b. Jun 1883, d. ?, m. a Katherine JOHNSON or JOHNSTON. He was living in Irrigon Pct., Morrow Co., OR in 1910, with his mother, and brother, William H. Harry Miller, 23, b. WA, and a laborer is also living in the home. (FH1, OHMW2)

16.7b William Hamilton CRUTCHER, b. 13 Aug 1886, MT, d. 15 Mar 1961, Los Angeles Co., CA, between 1910 and 1920, Orah E. ____.  In 1910 he was living with his brother, David, in Morrow Co., OR. In 1920, he and his wife are living in the 66th. Pct., Portland, Multnomah Co., OR. William H. may have worked in an aircraft factory in Los Angeles during WWII (CAR1, FH1, ORMU6, US1)

16.7c Ruth Cary CRUTCHER, b. 3 Jun 1894, MT, d. 5 Nov 1960, San Diego, San Diego Co., CA, m. Dana BURKES, b. 5 Jan 1896, San Diego, CA , s/o Dana & Marie L. BURKES, d. 14 Nov 1982, Orange Co., CA. She died of a brain tumor after surgery. She was cremated at Cypress View Cem., in San Diego. They had lived in San diego for 6 months. In 1920, Ruth was a secretary at a university (probably Stanford) in Palo Alto, Santa Clara Co., CA, living with her mother, Kate. In her death certificate Ruth is listed as a housewife, and Dana was a research chemist.  From the death record of Dana BURKES, it is known that there was at least one child. Informant of her death was Dana BURKES Jr.(CAR1, CASC7, FH1, O24, US1)
