  • Notes 
    • According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000):
      Elizabeth Winder, born in 1783 in Fayette County, PA, daughter of James Winder and Elizabeth Grable, was married to Nathan McGrew, son of James Blackburn McGrew and Elizabeth McFerran McGrew, prior to 2 July 1802, on which date is found an entry in the minutes of the Redstone Monthly Meeting of the Friends' Society condemning Nathan McGrew for marrying out of unity. Apparently Nathan was returned to the good graces of the Quakers, as on 28 January 1805 he was granted a certificate to move from the Redstone Monthly Meeting to the Short Creek MM in Jefferson County, Ohio. He was received on this certificate at the Short Creek Meeting on 17 August 1805. His wife Elizabeth was later received by the Short Creek Meeting by request on 15 August 1807. The Smithfield Monthly Meeting, also located in Jefferson County, recorded the death of Nathan McGrew as 19 May 1849. This year appears to be in error, as Nathan McGrew's will was probated in May of 1840 in Jefferson County (Will Book 3, page 171). Smithfield Monthly Meeting also recorded the death of Elizabeth McGrew, wife of Nathan, on 3 November 1844, aged 61 years, buried in Smithfield, Ohio. Both the will and the Quaker records show the children of Nathan and Elizabeth Winder McGrew to be:
      Jane McGrew, born 9 October 1803, who married John L. Naylor.
      Eliza McGrew, born 1 December 1805, whose married name was Clapp in 1838,
      disowned by the Friends on 23 April 1827 for marrying contrary to discipline.
      James W. McGrew, born 17 June 1808.
      David McGrew, born 15 October 1810
      Thomas McGrew, born 26 April 1813
      Finley McGrew, born 17 December 1815
      Deborah McGrew, born 8 June 1818, died 8 August 1819, buried Smithfield, Ohio
      Samuel McGrew, born 8 February 1822
      Mary Rebecca McGrew, born 17 December 1823
      Smithfield Monthly Meeting Records also show the family of John L, Naylor, born 19 March 1800 and Jane McGrew, daughter of Nathan and Elizabeth, who were married 26 February 1823 in Smithfield Meeting House, as follows (John Naylor died 24 April 1863):
      Elizabeth Naylor, born 4 January 1824, died 9 February 1826
      Eliza Ann Naylor, born 21 July 1826
      Rebecca Naylor, born 9 August 1829, 14 February 1835
      Nathan M. Naylor, born 8 October 1832
      Samuel G. Naylor, born 13 February 1835
      William Bates Naylor, born 7 January 1837
      Oliver Price Naylor, born 11 June 1843

      David McGrew, son of Nathan and Elizabeth Winder McGrew, is probably the David McGrew recorded as buried in New Alexandria Cemetery, Cross Creek Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, who died in 1882 at the age of 72 years. The same cemetery is said to contain markers for "many children of D & R McGrew". Smithfield Monthly Meeting also recorded that on 21 October 1850 a Samuel C. McGrew (perhaps the son of Nathan and Elizabeth), was granted a certificate to Flushing MM, Belmont County, Ohio, to marry Rachel P. Hoge. On 21 April 1851 Rachel P. McGrew was received at Smithfield on certificate from Flushing MM, and then on 21 February 1853 Samuel C. and Rachel McGrew were granted a certificate of removal back to Flushing MM. Flushing MM recorded the death of Samuel C. McGrew on 23 July 1862. Smithfield MM records also list the marriage, on 21 January 1818, of Finley B. McGrew, brother of Nathan McGrew, to Aletta Carr.
