HON. JEREMIAH MORROW. Freedom Township was the birth-place and boyhood home of Hon. Jeremiah Morrow, the first representative in Congress from Ohio, a United States senator and twice governor of that State. The grandfather of Gov. Morrow was a Scotch-Irish covenanter, who immigrated from Londonderry, Ireland, a generation before the Revolution, and died in this township in 1758. His father, John Morrow, was a county commissioner of York County in 1791-92-93, an intelligent farmer and a member of the Associate Reformed Church. He died in 1811. The farm he owned consisted of 235 acres, and was after his death long known as the James McCleary farm. Here the future statesman was born October 6, 1771. He was the eldest son and the second child in a family of three sons and six daughters, all of whom became residents of Ohio. His mother's maiden name was Mary Lockhart. After receiving the best English education to be had in the schools of that day in the vicinity of Gettysburg, he immigrated to the territory northwest of Ohio, arriving in the Miami country in the spring of 1795. After surveying land and opening a farm between the Miami Rivers, he was elected a member of the Territorial Legislature, and entered upon the political career which made him one of the most distinguished men in the early history of Ohio. A county and a town in Ohio were named in his honor. He died at his home on the Little Miami in 1852.
