Wilson Mcgrew b. 6 Jan 1812 Green Cty, Ohio
Died Dec. 22, 1862 Gibson Cty
Spouse Martha Galloway (Family Search)
His son Wilson, B. 1835 m. Matilda C. b: 1837 in Princeton, IN She is burried in Oakland
City, IN (Jan. 1922)
Her second marriage was to Jacob Gillespie b: 19 Dec 1865 inTenn.
In the 1880 census, Barton Twnp, Gibson Cty, Matilda and Jacob with sons James and Marvin,
daughter Martha, Nancy Wilson (sister-in-law) Step sons Charles and Wilson McGrew.
are found.
The Matilda in 1860 census must be a daughter as she is not listed as a home maker. I will
guess that Catherine Wilson is A mother in -law who came to live in the household and care
for the children.
This family is most confusing. You will find some information on Indiana Pioneer
Cemeteries Restoration Project, Gibson County, Barton Twnsp, Providence Babtist Church.
Look at the W. McGrew tombstone. I think that may be Wilson McGrew instead of Wm as they
have it listed.
