James C. McGrew, Compiler, Genealogy of the McGrew Family of Preston County

 Collection
Collection Number: A&M 3643

Overview

Typescript transcription of 12-page genealogy and history of the McGrew family of Preston County, West Virginia compiled by James C. McGrew. The McGrews of Pennsylvania and neighboring states are descendants of Robert and Isabella McGrew who came from Tyrone County, Ireland, in 1726 or 1727. Though fragmentary, this narrative attempts a history of the branch descending from Patrick McGrew who moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia in 1786. The compiler indicates that no evidence of a link was found between Patrick McGrew and Robert and Isabella McGrew.
