List: I don't know anything about Ninian Offut Magruder, so I may be muddying the waters, but I have some pages of a Magruder genealogy given to me by Colonel Lawson W. Magruder of Houston, TX. The genealogy starts: "William Magruder, son of Ninian Beall Magruder and his wife, Rebecca Young, was born in Montgomery County, Maryland in 1770. "He married Lucy Williams on February 14, 1798 in Columbia County, Georgia. Hew left Georgia for Mississippi along with other pioneers, but died along the way at Greensboro, Alabama, April 17, 1838. His will was made in Columbia County, Georgia, dated February 24, 1838, and was probated July 2, 1838 . . . His wife, Lucy (Williams) Magruder, died in Madison County, Mississippi, in 1851." etc. Please note the middle name of the Ninian who was father to William.
Ninion Beal and Ninion Offutt were suppose to have been cousins and they are the two that are buried in the same cemetery as John Olive,I have still go to find my pictures of their Rev. markers.
