1. Verify descendency among Southern Morrows, originally from Virginia and North & South Carolina, using Y-chromosome DNA testing. This was originally conceived as a project tracing descendants of David Morrow, who settled in Lower Norfolk, VA in 1651. His family was most famously traced in Worth Ray's Tennesee Cousins. There are many known errors in Ray's work, hence this project was an effort to try and verify those lines. Several descendents who thought they were of David's line have now come back completely unrelated. As a result, we clearly have representatives of more than just the David descent line.

2. Create a database of as many Morrow males as possible, in the hope of finding matches among the samples. This should be particularly helpful for those who trace their ancestry back to the west or midwest and do not know where their family came from - though northern and southern colonists didn't typically overlap, families from both areas settled the rest of the country.
