No information was given about John J.'s parents.His reported birth in NC is interesting since very few McGrew's are listed in the 1790 and 1800 census records for the state of North Carolina.
If a male surnamed McGrew is known in this line a DNA test might establish which McGrew line John J. belongs to.Ths most likely lines are those of Thomas McGrew whose son probably lived in NC and Alexander McGrew/MacGruar whose descendants lived in South Carolina.
I can provide more information about the McGrew DNA Project.
