Burton Montogomery Morrow was the third child of John Morrow (abt 1801 - 1861) and Olivia A (Burton) Morrow (23 Mar 1812 - bef 29 Jan 1853). He was born in St. Landry Parish, LA between 1840 and 1842 and appears to have been named after his mother's maiden name.
He had 4 siblings:
Chizona J. Morrow (abt 1834 - 1880)
Henry Preston Morrow (1837 - 1912)
Ernest Edwin Morrow (1846 - 1890) Also called Edwin E. Morrow.
Butnnor Morrow (abt 1846 - ?)
On the 1860 census, Burton is shown living with his sister Chizona and her husband John O'Quinn, Jr. and Burton's younger brother Edwin in Avoylles Parish, LA. This was probably because their mother had died and their father John Morrow had moved on to Caddo Parish to run his plantation there.
At the age of 19, in 1861, Burton mustered into the Confederate Army and was sent to Camp Moore for training with the Opelousas Guards. They left June 24, 1861 for Richmond, VA as part of Co. F, 8th LA Reg, and was involved in numerous engagements there.

Morrow, Burton M., Pvt. Co. F, 8th La. Inf. En. June 23, 1861, Camp Moore. Rolls from July to Dec., 1861, Present. Roll for Dec. 31, 1861, to April 30, 1862, Discharged and final statement rendered. Appears on Report of sick and wounded, discharged Jan. 24, 1862, on account of phthisis pulmonalis. Record copied from Memorial Hall, New Orleans, La., by the War Dept., Washington, D. C., June, 1903, born Louisiana, occupation student, Res. Bayou Boeuf, age 19, single. Discharged on account of disability, Dec., 1861.
Phthiasis pulmonalis is tuberculosis. Since Burton does not show up on any census records after 1860, it is likely that he died of tuberculosis and was buried somewhere in St. Landry Parish, probably in 1862.
There are several retrospective articles reminiscing the men of St. Landry who joined the Opelousis Guards in the St. Landry Clarion and The Opelousis Courier in 1886, 1902 an 1904, all of which mention Pvt. B. M. Morrow.
Any further information on Burton Morrow will be greatly appreciated.
