Does anyone have access to the 1850 Knox County Census and not mind doing a lookup for me? My library does not have these records. I am interested in these households: John McGrew page 323 Abram McGrew page 330 John H. McGrew page 330 James McGrew page 331 James R. McGrew page 331 Washington McGrew page 334 Clinton McGrew page 407 Charles McGrew page 429 John L. McGrew page 449 I know that's a lot to ask, but I don't know any other way to get the information. If it's online, please let me know. Thanks for your help. Barry Fox Greenville, SC

Barry, Do you know of any connection with your MCGREW line with the HALL line in Knox Co.? I have a "mystery person" that I cannot figure out how to connect to my HALLs. Here are the meager pieces of the puzzle so far: 1) In 1860 Chestnut Twp. census my gg-gf David E. HALL is listed with his 2nd wife, Ann, and several children (some his, some hers, one theirs). There is also a 4 year old, Anson MCGREW, my "mystery person". Is he related somehow? I have not been aware of any MCGREW/HALL marriages. 2) Then, one of the children above, Mary "Polly" HALL, married Richeson WALTER, and I find them in both the 1870 and 1880 censuses (thanks to help from Todd Walter of this rootsweb list), and a child named "Anson" is with them. In 1870 he is "Anson B. WALTER, age 13", in 1880 he is "Anson, son, age 22, born IL". Is this the same Anson as in the 1860 census? Could he be a child of Polly's from an unknown first marriage? (Polly and R. C. WALTER married in 1860, and Anson was already four years old, so he can't be the son of this union. Well, he could, but you know what I mean.) 3) In Chapman's 1878 History of Knox County, R. C. WALTER's bio. sketch lists he and Polly as having "one child", who is "Elvira" according to the 1880 census, and the bio. lists no sons. So, if Anson is listed as "son" in the 1880 census, is he Polly's son? However, he is named Anson WALTER. Two other references to MCGREWs were found in the estate papers of David E. HALL (same HALL as above family), who died in 1863. The estate paid "John MCGREW" $8.44 in a list of disbursements. Also, the estate was listing a piece of land obtained from "Charles and Sarah MCGREW" in a quit claim, 1859, in Warren County. I don't know who these people are either, in relation to the HALL family. Possibly just business dealings in this instance. Do you have any information or ideas about this mysterious "Anson MCGREW"?
