      Genealogy of the Morr Family by Calvin Moyer
      Philip (Anna Margaret, Andrew,) was born in Penn's township, Northumberland county, Pa., near Freeburg, December 20, 1780; died December 19, 1858, and is buried in the Smyrna Cemetery, Felicity, Ohio. He was twice married; first to Elizabeth Meyer, and after her decease to Sarah Erensperger, a lady from near Lexington, Ky., during the latter part of 1814 or the beginning of the year 1815. His second wife was born in Pennsylvania, April 1, 1790; died at the residence of her daughter, Matilda Houser, in Logan county, Illinois. When Elizabeth, his first wife was born, is not known; she is buried by the side of her husband. He moved to Kentucky about the year 1801, perhaps a year later, thence to Felicity, Ohio, where he lived during the balance of his years, engaged in farming. He was a member of the New School Presbyterian Church. (Philip's descendants write their name Moyer.)
      There were sixteen children, nine sons and seven daughters.
