Notes:

According to THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW, Giles McGrew signed a Memorial to Congress in 1803. He was on the 1805 tax list of Washington Co, Mississippi. He married Nancy Dickerson, born 1796 in Georgia. The story was told that they were on their way to Texas and stopped in LA to make a corn crop before going further, and decided to stay.

Wynema McGrew states that he was in Ouachita Parish, LA by the 1820 census, and many of his descendants still live around Monroe, Louisiana. In 1820, Giles and Nancy were between the age of 26 and 44, and had four sons and one daughter under the age of 10. In 1830, three sons were counted, ranging in age between one day to 15 years, and five daughters were enumerated, ranging in age from 5 to 20. In 1840, the family had at home two sons under the age of 10, and four daughters whose age ranged from 5 to 20. According to a descendant, Giles and Nancy had 12 children in total, four sons and eight daughters. Ten have been identified by name.

Esther McGrew Hardin of San Antonio noted that Giles was also known as Joiles or Joel, and was the same Joel McGrew who married Nancy Dickerson Aug 27, 1811 in Amite County, Mississippi.

Giles married Nancy Dickerson on 27 Aug 1811 in Amite County, Mississippi. Nancy was born about 1796 in Georgia; died after 1850 in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
