Hopkinsville City and Precinct.
THOMAS MORROW, one of the early pioneers of Kentucky, came to Christian County from North Carolina in the year 1789, and settled a farm now known as Mount Vernon in the Mount Vernon or Yellow Horse Precinct; lived there until the date of his death about the year 1834. The place afterward became one of the voting precincts of the county, and has remained as such ever since. Thomas Morrow had a family of four children, three sons and one daughter, none of whom are now living; but his grandchildren are scattered from New York to Texas, with several representatives in this county. The eldest son of Thomas Morrow, Dr. T. V. Morrow, studied medicine, and graduated in that profession at Cincinnati, Ohio, where he afterward practiced, and where, in connection with Dr. R. S. Newton, he founded the Cincinnati Eclectic Medical College, the first of that school of medicine in the United States, and one that has been in successful operation since. Dr. T. V. Morrow died in Cincinnati about the year 1850, leaving a widow and several children, one of whom, Wooster Beach Morrow, is a distinguished member of the Cincinnati bar. Another son of Thomas Morrow was Col. William Morrow, who, after the death of his father, acquired the old Mount Vernon homestead, where he lived until about 1847, meantime building a new house, which he painted yellow, and thus arose the name of "Yellow House Precinct," which it still bears. Col. William Morrow served for some time as Colonel of the Kentucky Militia. He was also elected to the lower house of the Kentucky Legislature, and represented Christian County in that body for one or more terms. About 1847 he removed from Mt. Vernon to Fairview, and there established a store, sold off lots to the settlers, and afterward procured the incorporation of the town. In 1854 he removed to Princeton, Ky., and there died in 1864. His widow and four children - three sons and one daughter - are still living. The youngest son, Dr. P. A. Morrow, went to New York City t wenty years ago, being then but sixteen years old, withoutmeans or a single acquaintance, there began the study of medicine, and has become an eminent practitioner in said city. With Thomas Morrow, in 1789, came James Vaughan, and settled on a farm adjoining Mt. Vernon, where he lived to be a ripe old age. Richard Vaughan, his son, is now engaged in business in Fairview, and is regarded as one of the most worthy citizens of the county.
