William McGrew

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

Copiah Co, MS, William McGrue was a bondsman for John J. Holliday and Mary A. Ainsworth, 8 Dec 1825. Also, a daughter of Levin Hainsworth married Col. William McGrew about 1802, any connection?

Veteran of the War of 1812 (DeClouets Regiment), drafted in E. Feliciana, LA in Sept 1814, fought in the battle of New Orleans Discharged in New Orleans in Feb 1815. At the time he enlisted, Olivia's statement describes her husband as "5 feet, 10 inches, light complexion, blue eyes, dark hair, occupation farmer"

Purchased land in Marion Co, MS 29 Jan 1816, 31 Oct 1818, and on 25 Sep 1819, he registered a brand.

Per the book REFUGIO by Herbart Huson, as extracted by Esther McGrew Hardin: "Colonel William McGrew and family moved to Refugio County in the later part of 1851, or prior to 25 January 1852. He acquired the holdings of Capt. Alfred S. Thurmond (his future son-in-law) at Mesquite Landing and operated a large planation house there. He was, perhaps, the largest slave-owner in the county and brought his negroes with him. His children were Dr. William P. McGrew, John McGrew, James McGrew, Henry McGrew, Robert McGrew, who married Alia (Alice per census), daughter of Thomas Marshall Duke, Julia McGrew, who was the wife of Capt. Alfred Sturgis Thurmond, and Sarah McGrew, wife of William Andrews, an early citizen of Refugio County. Andrews later moved to Clinton." Thomas Marshall Duke was one of the "old 300," the the settlers originally granted land by Stephen F. Austin.

He is listed as a slave holder on the 1860 Refugio, Texas census.

Son James McGrew died intestate in Austin, TX in 1912 at the Texas Confederate home. The settlement of his estate shows the names of the children of all his brothers and sisters.

His war pension application was signed by W.C. Terry, M.J. Terry, and A.S. Thurmond, J.P Refugio County (Husband of Julia)

Later Olivia is living with R.A. Upton (Sheriff of Aransas Co.?)

Notes:

Wynema McGrew cites Esther McGrew Hardin suggestion that Caroline my have married James Stephens or Stevenson. In the 1860 Refugio County, Texas census, in the household of James Lyon, four names were bracketed with "Penitentiary" written sideways, James Stevenson, born ca 1810 in La, laborer, serving 25 years for murder, Caroline Stevenson, born ca 1814 in Louisiana, serving 5 years for murder, Wililam Franks, born ca 1820 in Texas, blacksmith, serving 5 years of manslaughter, and Thomas Duke, born ca 1840 in Texas, farmer (with no reason for his sentence to the penitentiary written).

Notes:

According to THE SOUTHERN McGREW GREWS he was enlisted in First Regiment of S. Western Army under Col. James R. Cook and Capt. Ewen Cameron.

John married Sophia Sweeney on 14 Jan 1851 in Brazoria County, Texas. Sophia (daughter of John Sweeney and Anne Fuller Smith) was born about 1824 in Tennessee; died on 24 Dec 1890 in Brazoria, Brazoria County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to Esther McGrew Hardin, William P McGrew was in Copiah County, Mississippi in 1850, with two sons, with wife M. McGrew and Burrell Moody, 18, living with him. In view of this, and because Dr. William's son John H. named a son John Moody McGrew, Esther believes that the first wife of Dr. McGrew was a Moody. Nancy Lea Wilson Wright of Shreveport says that William McGrew's first wife was Marcina Moody Welch.

He was listed as a merchant and planter in 1850. He must have become a doctor sometime before he moved to Refugio prior to 1860.

Dr McGrew was one of the largest slaveholders in Refugio in the mid-1850s. Esther McGrew Hardin cites Hobart Huson, in his history REFUGIO, as noting these slaveholders were mainly planters and stock-farmers living along the San Antonio and Guadalupe Rivers, most whom brought their slaves with them. They were also, not surprisingly, some of the most active and leading secessionists in the county. Dr. William P. McGrew was chief justice during the period of 1862 to the end of the war. His court "took prompt and effective measures to guard against slave uprisings." They appointed patrols over the entire county, along with working to help support the families of the men who had gone to war.

The Refugio list of Home Guard units included: Thomas M. Duke, Thomas M. Duke, Jr.; Henry McGrew; James McGrew; John McGrew; Dr. William P. McGrew; Thomas McGuill; Alfred S. Thurmond.

After the end of the war, Dr. and Mrs. McGrew were said to have owned the original Mission Hotel, at the northwest corner of Alamo and Purisiama.

Wynema McGrew adds that he was also Mayor of Refugio and a Methodist preacher. She shows that he died ca 1884 in Beeville, Texas.

Notes:

Middle initial variously shown as J, H or M. Ester McGrew Hardin states his middle name was MOODY.

Children names were obtained from both census records and a letter from Clara Manning, a descendant of Katherine McGrew McGuill to Esther McGrew Hardin. The McGrew's lived in Blanconia, just barely across the Refugio county line in Bee County. It was distinguished in the early days as being the headquarters of Sallie Scull, a notorious woman cattle operator and gunwoman.

John McGrew was killed in a gunfight in front of a saloon in Refugio in 1876. According to Hobart Huson's book "Refugio":

"Charles Berkowitz moved to Refugio and founded the famous "Bull's Head Saloon" at the southwest intersection of Alamo and Yabacion streets. It also had a gambling parlor associated with it. ..(perhaps the most noted gunfight) between John McGrew and Luke Porter. There was some sort of disagreement between the two men, and bullets began to spatter all over the place. The customers rushed to cover leaving a clear field to the principals. Present was a Mexican gambler, who with more courage than discretion tried to stop the melee. He stepped behind McGrew at the instant that a bullet from Porter's gund plowed through McGrew's body. The same bullet tore through the Mexican gambler's body and killed him." The footnote to this story cites W.L. Rea's "Memoirs."

His wife Julia Hart, whose parents were early settlers in the Irish Colony in nearby San Patricio, Texas.

Buried in Calvary cemetery.
