- [S1736] Note.
The only information we have on Morrow's birth is found in the census. In 1850 and 1860 Morrow Monroe Bisbee is living in the household of Reuben and Naomi Bisbee, whom we assume to be his parents.
1) On 3 October 1850, Morrow is age 13 (born 1836-1837), born New York.
2) On 19 Jul 1860, his age is 21 (born 1838-1839), born Pennsylvania.
3) On 7 Jun 1870 he is head of household, age 32 (born 1837-1838), born New York.
If we discount the 1860 census because the birthplace (and probably the age) is incorrect, the 1850 and 1870 censuses would be consistent with a birthdate between June and October 1837.

He is carried variously as Monroe M. Bizbee, Monroe M. Bisbee, and Mathew M. Bisbee and Matthew M. Bisbee. The NARA index has him as Matthew M. Bisbee. There is a note on his muster-in roll stating that, "this muster-in roll of Drafted Militia was made on the form intended for Volunteers." On the muster out roll, his age is carried as 23 years (he was actually 25 or 26 years old), and he is credited with $32.97 for clothing in kind or money advanced.).
