Morrow County, Ohio, was formed in 1848 from parts of four existing counties: Delaware, Knox, Marion, and Richland. All records in the Court House in Mount Gilead have been created since that year of formation. Therefore, for any research prior to 1848, the exact location of the subject's residence must be known in order to determine which county had jurisdiction over that specific site at that time.
Here's a county map showing where the townships are located and their "parent" county.
