Per "The Southern McGrews Grew", he was a Civil War veteran and was captured, but as it was near the end of the war, he was not held long. He lived in Covington Co, MS until the late 1870's, but had to leave after he and a group of men were involved in the murder of Luke Broom. When the law came to arrest him, he asked if he could first feed his oxen, and they consented. He escaped. His brother, Leonard, loaded the family up and took them to Louisiana and they hid out near Baton Rogue. They had 11 children, and he died on 19 December 1886, and was buried in Knox cemetery, The Plains, East Feliciana Parish, LA. His wife died of pneumonia at the home of her son, Robert, on 10 November, 1895 and was buried near Alexander.
Wynema McGrew writes that he enlisted in the Confederate State Army on either 10 Feb 1862 at Williamsburg, Covington County, Mississippi or 1 Feb 1862 at Handsboro, Harrison County, Mississippi. He was a sergeant in Company B, Fourth Cavalry under Capt. Norman. He was paroled in Gainsville, Alabama on 12 May 1865.
