Elizabeth ???

Notes:

Elizabeth was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. She had first married a Francis Patterson. her maiden name is not known. Juanita Johnson of New Mexico, a descendant of Mary June McGrew and her husband Benjamin Maddox, sent photographs of Elizabeth McGrew to Esther McGrew Hardin in San Antonio. She did appear to be Native American from the photo.

Court records show Elizabeth's daughter, Twiney Pierce married Hiram McLaughlin, so Elizabeth may have been married twice before, to a Pierce and a Patterson. (Twiney might also have been previously married). Twiney's marriage is recorded in Marion County, Mississippi, Marriage Record Book "A" 1812-1824, with "consent by James and Elizabeth McGrew for Twiney Pierce, daughter of Elizabeth McGrew.' Twiney married Hiram McLaughlin on 27 Sept 1823.

A divorce court in Marion Co, MS has a lawsuit between Francis Patterson and James McGrew about support for Twiney Pierce.

Wynena McGrew writes that she died of inflammation after being ill for 25 days in Limestone County, Texas.

Elizabeth married James Tate McGrew on 1 Jan 1812 in Amite County, Mississippi. James (son of James McGrew and Constance Tillett) was born before 1783 in St. Stephens, Mississippi Territory; died after 1839 in County of Robertson, Republic of Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Everette McGrew instead puts his date of birth ca 1822. However, as he served in the Mexican War in 1836, he was likely the eldest born of the children of James Tate and his wife Elizabeth. Hardin enlisted on 12 Mar 1838 in Robertston County as a private under Captain N. Doyle, Volunteer Rangers. He was discharged 10 Jun 1839. William and Flood McGrew, his brothers, also enlisted and were discharged at the same time.

Robert Lee McGrew of Pearland, TX also indicated that James Tate McGrew and his wife Elizabeth had a son named Hardin R. McGrew, but he is not mentioned in James Tate McGrew's will. The book THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW indicates he died before his father drew up his will.

Veteren of the Mexican War of 1836, paid a land grant in Robertson Co, TX for 1476 acres. He apparently died around 1839/1840, before his father's will was made, but he was on the 1840 tax list. He left his estate to his mother, Elizabeth, and she and two sons sold the headright to Reuban Anderson on 20 May 1850 for $20,000. (From THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW)

Notes:

Received a land grant from the Mexican government in 1835. In the Texas Army during the Revolution in 1836. Member of the Robertson County Rangers. Wynema McGrew writes that he enlisted on 12 Mar 1838 in Robertston County as a private under Captain N. Doyle, Volunteer Rangers. He was discharged 10 Jun 1839. Flood and Hardin McGrew, his brothers, also enlisted and were discharged at the same time.

William appeared on the Robertson County tax rool for 1838 through 1840. He was taxed on 1107 acres in 1838 and 1840 and 1111 acres in 1839. He paid no poll tax in 1838 but did the other two years.

William married Serena ??? before 1839. Serena was born about 1820 in Tennessee; died before 1860. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Served in the Texas Army during the revolution of 1836. Also a Texas Ranger, and said to have been killed during an attempt to save 12 year Cynthia Ann Parker when she was captured by the Comanches.

Per the book THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW he joined the Robertson Co Rangers to help protect against the Indians. The Indians attacked Ft. Marlin on January 16, 1839 and G. W. along with his brothers, Wm A and a brother in law David Armstrong Barton, went to help drive the Indians away. Jackson Powers had his horse shot from under him, so G.W. took him up behind him on his little pony. Powers brother saw this and came and took his brother up with him on a larger horse. The Indians caught up with G.W., the Powers, and David Barton, and killed G.W. and Barton. The Powers got away. G.W. and Elizabeth had a daughter born after his death. The widowed Elizabeth next married James B. Ware. She later married John Lynd. She probably died shortly after 1850, as Wm. Moss was guardian of her children.

Wynema McGrew writes that George W. McGrew posthumously received Bounty Warrant 161 for 320 acres on 16 Dec 1846 for service from 29 Apr to 29 July 1839. In October1848, 320 acres in Freestone County were presented to him (or presumably his heirs as he died in 1839).

George married Elizabeth Moss in 1838 in County of Robertson, Republic of Texas. Elizabeth was born about 1823 in Missouri; died before 1853. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Per THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW he received a land grant of 1/4 league from the Mexican government in 1835 in Texas. (Antonio Manchaca land grant). Served in the Texas Army during the Revolution in 1836, paid for his services with a bounty land grant. Flood enlisted on 12 Mar 1838 in Robertston County as a private under Captain N. Doyle, Volunteer Rangers. He was discharged 10 Jun 1839. William A. and Hardin McGrew, his brothers, also enlisted and were discharged at the same time.

Notes:

The the LDS Ancestral File, ver 4.15 incorrectly shows Thomas as a son of Alexander and Elizabeth (Blackburn) McGrew. However, according to McGrew researcher Wynema McGrew of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, he is actually the son of James Tate McGrew (Alexander's brother) and his wife Elizabeth. Per THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW he appeared before the Board of Land Commissioners for Robertson County, Texas in 1847 for 320 acres. He was authorized to locate and survey out any of the vacant land in the Republic. On the 1850 census, Alfred Hicks, a laborer, was living with them. The same Alfred Hicks lived with his brother's--John Flood McGrew--family in 1860.

Notes:

According to the LDS ancestral file, ver 4.15, Samantha McGrew is the daughter of Alexander and Elizabeth (Blackburn) McGrew. However, according to McGrew researcher Wynema McGrew of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, she is actually the daughter of Alexander's brother, James Tate McGrew by Elizabeth Patterson. Several years after her first husband was killed (along with one of her brothers) as they fought Indians at Morgan's Point, Samantha married her husband's brother David A. Barton, Jr. and had two children. (THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW)

Samantha married David Armstrong Barton on 27 Jan 1842 in Robertson County, Texas. David was born on 27 Jan 1811 in Rutherford County, Tennessee; died on 15 Dec 1844 in Franklin, Robertson County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Wynema McGrew writes that he "died very young. The only place Francis is found was in his father's will in 1839."

Notes:

Place of birth may have instead been Alabama.

John married Louisa Jane Galloway on 7 May 1861 in Robertson County, Texas. Louisa was born about 1846 in Robertson County, Texas; died about 1870. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

John married Jane A. Anderson on 23 Sep 1874 in Robertson County, Texas. Jane was born about 1856 in Texas; died about 1924 in Hearne, Robertson County, Texas; was buried in Norwood Cemetery, Hearne, Robertson County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Paralee married Thomas Breedlove on 1 Dec 1857 in Brazos County, Texas. Thomas was born about 1839 in Alabama; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Per THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW she was mentioned in her grandfather's will (James Tate McGrew). The land given to her was to be sold about the time she would mature, and the proceeds were to be used for her education, but her mother and her second husband sold the land in 1844. Mary Jane married John P. Gibson Maddox, and they petitioned for control of her mother's estate, since the land was originally Washington's (her father's), but the outcome is unknown. She and her husband helped raise the children of Mary June McGrew and Ben Maddox, after their deaths.

Family/Spouse: John P. Gibson Maddox. John was born before 1839; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Based on both the number of years Allen and Mollie were married (14) and the fact that she states she is the mother of five living children (presumably Gertie, Flood, Mattie, Virginia and Alphonso), it would appear that Clabie is Allen's son from a previous marriage. Additionally, in 1910, she is shown of the mother of six living children, presumably Gertie, Flood, Mattie, Virginia, Alfonso and Wilbur.

Allen married Mattie Anderson on 22 Dec 1879 in Robertson County, Texas. Mattie was born before 1854; died after 1885. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

On 12 July 1929, Bette Rawls wrote "My father [James Thomas McGrew] died when I was quite young and the others were killed and scattered by Indians, so I know very little about them not even my grandfathers name or where he came from--only that they were of Scotch-Irish descent. They were Pioneer Texans and went through all the hardships and privations that the words imply, first settling in Roberston County later moving to Limestone County. I make my home with my daughter, Mrs. B. C. Dunn." (From Wynema McGrew's book. p. 351).

Elizabeth married J. Frank Rawls on 21 Dec 1871 in Texas. J. was born on 25 Feb 1852; died on 15 Oct 1921 in Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Wynema McGrew states that a first cousin of Elizabeth's reported she was returned to Tennessee to be raised by her paternal grandparents. However, if this is true, it was not for long. On 5 May 1845, Elizabeth McGrew, her maternal grandmother, applied to the Robertson County Probate Court for guardianship of Elizabeth Jane Barton, minor, heir of David A. Barton and Samatha Barton, both deceased. Elizabeth was granted this guardianship, and she was living with her grandmother as of 1850.

Wynema indicated that Elizabeth Jane married Cleve R. Walters or Waters in Limestone County, Texas prior to 1860 where they can be found on that census. He was a farmer with real and personal property of $3,500 each. They were not found on the 1870 or 1880 censuses of Texas.

Notes:

Not listed with the family in 1860. Did she die young?

Notes:

At the time of the 1870 federal census, 16 year old Sarah was living in the home of J O Maddox, age 46, and born in Georgia. Other members of that household were Myra, 26 F W born in Mississippi, Pinkney 5 F, Thomas 3 M, and Joseph 2 M. The younger household members were born in Texas, as was Sarah. As Sarah was the last member listed in the household (as opposed to be listed chronologically with the other minors in the home) it appears that she was likely not a child of J. P. Maddox, but likely related in some other fashion as they shared the same last name.

The following information is from a family group sheet done by Ms. Bernice Jump on the 14 of Jan 1995:

Obituary of Sarah Cassels, Victoria Advocate, April 25, 1885.
Mrs. Sarah Cassels, wife of Mr. J.W.Cassels, died on Saturday April 11, 1885 at her home on Perdido, this county, of pneumonia. The relatives have our sincere sympathy in their sore affliction.

Sarah was known to her family and friends as Sade. Information was taken from papers that Juanita Johnson had worked on. She got her information from Bible records, census 1850, legal records and other research.

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=carolynegould&id=I5032

Sarah married Joseph Winn Cassels on 19 May 1875 in Fannin, Goliad County, Texas. Joseph was born on 5 Nov 1850 in Louisiana; died on 24 Dec 1887 in Fannin, Goliad County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Elizabeth married Henderson "Stump" Warren on 14 Aug 1878 in Goliad County, Texas. Henderson was born on 9 Jun 1858 in Goliad County, Texas; died on 6 Sep 1925 in Paducah, Cottle County, Texas; was buried in Garden of Memories Cemetery, Paducah, Cottle County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Wynema McGrew shows that he married Lola Mattie York.

At the time of the 1920 federal census, a Tolephus Maddox, M, age 58, born in Texas, was living in Carter County, Oklahoma in a home with wife, Myrtle J, age 30, born in Oklahoma, Hellen Land F 4 years old, born in Texas, Orvil E. Coley M 16 Born Oklahoma, and William P Coley, age 11, born in Oklahoma.
