      It has been a long time since we visited. I have been diligently looking for Mary Neely who married Lorenzo Dow McGrew, Sr. At last, I have come across the link I needed. Now, you all may be way ahead of me, and if so, please tell me you already have all of this. In any event, here is what I have:

      Mary Neely was the daughter of Margaret Murphy and Samuel Neely.

      Here is an brief family outline:

      1. John Murphy, Sr. (5-10-1746 - 5-8-1934?) married
      Jane (Jean Love) (1753 - 1818 or 1823)

      their children:

      Robert
      **Margaret
      James M.
      Sarah L.
      Jane
      Andrew
      Eli
      Rachel
      John, Jr.

      **Margaret married Samuel Neely ( 1775 - 12-30-1852) (son of Samuel and Sarah Ferguson Neely of SC)

      Margaret and Samuel Neely had the following children:

      Nancy G.
      ***John M.
      Mary M.
      Attie
      Eveline
      Margaret
      Matilda
      James A.
      Samuel F.

      ***John M. Neely married (1) Mary Crow of Mississippi (2) Claressa Hunt

      John M. Neely and Mary Crow had the following children before her death about 1830 (as Franklin was age 3 in 1835, she would have had to have died ca 1832):

      John E. Neely
      Wilson A. Neely
      ****Mary M. Neely
      Margaret M. Neely
      James F.

      Mary M. Neely married L. D. McGrew.

      About Mary Crow --- she was from MS, possibly Monroe County, then the family moved to Hardeman County, TN. She died there.

      John then moved to Texas, about 1833, and married Claressa (Clarissy Neely), about 1833. They settled in San Augustine County, had more children, and died there.

      I haven't had an opportunity to research San Augustine County, but will asap.

      This information came from James L. Murphy of TN. He has been looking for the Mary Neely connection to his family but the records indicated she married an "L.D. Magee". The birthdates are a perfect match.

      Wynema McGrew had listed her as a daughter of John and Claricy (second wife) NEELEY, born 3 Jul 1826 in TN/AL.
