  Notes	Wynema McGrew writes that the baptisms of twin brothers Guillermo and Juan, children of Santiago and Constancia Tibbett (Tillet) Magrew, Protestants were recorded in Bapt. Rcds. Bk #2, p. 31, and she transcribed this below, exactly as she says they were recorded, in "Records of Old Mobile, Catherdral of the Immaculate Conception, Mobile, Alabama, Section 8, Baptisms, 1781-1850." 123. William Magrew On 17 November 1788, I, the undersigned pastor of Mobile, baptized solemnly in James Magrew's house, William, born on 24, June 1788. /s/ Rev. Miguel Lamport 124. John Magrew On 17 November 1788, I the undersigned pastor of Mobile, baptized solemnly in James Magrew's house John, born 24 June 1788. /s/ Rev. Miguel Lamport [The above children are legitimate offspring] of James Magrew and Constantine Tillett, Protestants, natives of the Tombigbee River, in this District. Cassian Castanares, Sacristan, was the godfather for all. . /s/ Rev. Miguel Lamport He and William purchased land in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana in 1807. (THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW). Purchased land in Marion Co, MS on 6 Aug 1817 and on 31 Oct 1818 (THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW). Per Copiah County MS marriage records, John McGrew was a surity for J.M. Rowan and Mrs. Martha Lawhan, 2 Oct 1842, so this places the family of John McGrew in Copiah Co. It was probabaly his son, however, as he was deceased by 1836. Was in DeClouets Regiment during the War of 1812, and was in the Battle of New Orleans, along with his twin brother William. Per Nancy's pension application, he died in Covington, St. Tammany Parish, LA. Their is also a Covington Co, Mississippi where the family once lived. This could cause confusion in the records.
