Grove, John

Abt 1815 -

• Name	Grove, John   [1, 2]
  	Orginally I had John's last name listed as GROVES but was finding his name spelled GROVE in many places. I went back and the only place I could find his name spelled GROVES was in the Wiseman Family book in just a small mentioning of Audley Harrison's daughter, Sophronia, marrying him. I found his name spelled GROVE in the 1940 Census and in the settlement of the estate of Richmond McGregor. Therefore, I changed the spelling to GROVE.

  		Settlement of the Estate of Richmond McGregor Settlement of the Estate of Richmond McGregor is important to our family research because it list the heirs Audley Harrison as well as Richmond and Mary Mears GcGregor. The legal document lists: William McGregor, Alfred McGregor, Philip McGregor, Sarah McGregor, William Stiles and wife Mahala Stiles, formerly Mahala McGregor, Thomas Hennessee and wife Nelly, formerly Nelly Hays, Calhoun Hays, Mary Hays, Elvira Hays, Jerome Hays, and Luther Hays, the last five named persons, minors under the age limit of twenty one years, and who are children of Elvira Hays now dead, the wife of William Hays and the daughter of said Richmond McGregor, John Grove and wife Sophronia, formerly Sophronia Harrison, Daniel Wiseman and wife Nellie, formerly Nellie Harrison, Harrison Smith and wife Virginia, formerly Virginia Harrison, Archibald Hennessee and wife Nancy, formerly Nancy Harrison, Frank Smith and wife Millie, formerly Millie Harrison, William Jennings and wife Julia, formerly Julia Harrison, Patrick Hennessee and wife Hannah, formerly Hannah Harrison, Alexander Harrison, Audley Harrison, Thomas Harrison, Mary Wiseman, Nellie Wiseman, George Wiseman and Henderson Wiseman, Narred McGregor and wife Nettie, formerly Nettie Harrison, Joseph Harrison, Audley Wiseman and Elizabeth Wiseman, all of who are heirs at law and distributees of Audley Harrison. Research is currently being done my Mary Elizabeth Barnes in Warren County, Tennessee to verify if the last of the first paragraph is actually Richmond McGregor or Audley Harrison. Also, it does not make sense legally that Audley sold 76 acres to Rodgers and Mitchell, Rodgers and Mitchell sold it to Richmond McGregor and the court would say Audley's heirs would be responsible for Richmond's debt AND Richmond's heirs have the 76 acres. Hopefully we can locate the original document for this case because it seems something was wrong with transcribing in the past.

  
  

  Census Records

  1840 Census, Warren County, Tennessee, Page 83. 1840 Census, Warren County, Tennesse, Page 83. Line 16 Joseph Harrison's family with 1 male 30 - 40, 1 male 5 - 10, one female 30 - 40 and 2 females under 5 years old. Line 22 George Harrison living with his wife Millie and another male who is 15 - 20. Probably a brother of George or Millie. Line 25 John Grove living with his wife Saphronia who is Audley Harrison's daughter. At the bottom is Samuel Harrison's wife, Agnis, who is widowed with 7 children living with her. The two oldest children are 20-30 and the two youngest are under 5 years old. It is possible that the two oldest could be Nancy or her oldest son, one of their spouses and their small children. I did not include the page 2 slave schedule because no one listed above had slaves on this page.
