This is in reply to the following message which I received yesterday from Rarihokwats
(four_arrows(a)canada.com) inquiring about the relationship between Eleanor MCGREW (d/o John
MCGREW of Salem, Washington Co., IN), b. 1808, and my ggggg-grandmother, Jane MCGREW (d/o
Robert "Dady", Finley, William, Robert), b. 1807, of Sullivan Co., IN. See the
following report which appears on my home page:
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/i/l/Susan-E-Tilleman/GENE11-...
Janes's ancestry can be found under:
Generation 8, persons 190, 191, and their 12 children
Generation 9, persons 380, 381, and their 5 children
Generation 10, persons 760, 761, and their 5 children
Generation 11, persons 1520, 1521, and their 5 children
Also see related archived postings listed below. Although I do believe that Eleanor and
Jane are somehow related, I have not yet found the exact connection.

Greetings. I am a descendant of Eleanor McGrew, and wondering how she and Jane might be

Best regards.

Subject: Eleanor MCGREW GAMBILL COMBES (1809 - 1917)
This is in reply to Kim in CO's posting yesterday regarding her GAMBILL
family, one of whom married Eleanor MCGREW GAMBILL COMBES. The "Sullivan
County Historical Society, Inc., Newsletter" of Nov., 1987, Vol. 14, No. 6,
pgs. 66 - 68, included an article entitled "An Obituary That is Really a
Biography". The subject of the article was Eleanor MCGREW GAMBILL COMBES.
It included the text from Eleanor's obituary entitled "Indiana's Oldest White
Woman Goes to Reward", which appeared in "The Sullivan Daily Times", Feb.
23,
1917. Eleanor's obituary included a great deal of genealogical information,
both about her ancestors and her children. At the conclusion of the text was
also an additional paragraph mentioning that another article had appeared in
"The Sullivan Daily Times", Oct. 11, 1909, talking about Mrs. COMBES's 100th
birthday party.
I am also a descendant of MCGREWs from this same area, but I have not yet
found a connection between Eleanor's father John and my MCGREWs. ...
