J. L. "Jack" McGrew

Notes:

The 1850 census would indicate he was probably born in 1843.

Date of birth, unsourced, shown as 5 Apr 1847. Wynema McGrew also shows 5 Apr 1847 in either Mississippi or Alabama.

Wyenema McGrew notes that on the 1900 Perry County Census he is listed as JOHN McGrew, with a wife and five children. On the 1910 census, he is shown as Jack McGrew, but with the same wife and two of five children on the previous census. This census shows he was born in Apr 1848.
