Eliza Ann McGrew: Strong McLemore Ancestry

Generation: 1

Eliza Ann McGrew was born about 1823 in Louisiana; and died.

Notes:

Wynema McGrew shows her as born much earlier, on 22 Sep 1816 in Louisiana. Wynema also states that she married second A. Francis SHEPPARD, a Civil War Veteran. They were shown as the parents of Flora Sheppard, born ca 1856 in Louisiana.

It may have been another Eliza McGrew that married Francis Sheppard, as John Simmons and wife Eliza Ann can be found in the 1870 census in Cherokee County, Texas.

Some online trees show Giles and Nancy having a daughter names both Elizaben and Eliza Ann...so perhaps they are indeed two different people.

Eliza married John H. Simmons on 27 Oct 1845 in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. John was born between 1820 and 1822 in Louisiana; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
