Samuel Morrow was a "block and pump maker" with a shop on Dugan's Wharf, possibly in partnership with William E. Morrow (b. abt. 1809; d. 6 July 1847, Baltimore, MD). They may have been the sons of William Morrow Sr. of Fell's Point (b. abt. 1758; d. 5 Dec 1831, Baltimore, MD).


Samuel and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Foy Morrow, had three known children: Samuel W. Morrow Jr. (b. abt. 1843, Baltmore), Florence Morrow Althoff (1848-1921), and William F. Morrow (1851-1916).

Worn inscriptions can be discerned on three sides of the marker, so it seems likely that Elizabeth Foy Morrow is buried here as well. Florence Morrow Althoff's death certificate also indicates she is buried here.

On one side of the marker, there are the names of four Morrow children who all died between 1842 and 1851. Their dates of birth are illegible:

Charles B. Morrow d. 1842
Harry W. Morrow d. 1847
Charles T. Morrow d. 1849
Frankie Morrow d. 1851

Samuel Morrow's Death Notice:
