Family of Edward Musgrove

From http://grindalshoalsgazette.com/?s=Musgrove
III. According To John H. Logan, Edward Musgroves Third Wife Was Nancy Ann Crosby
Logan wrote:
His third wife was alive when the battle of the mills was fought, her name was Nancy Crosby, from near the Fish Dam Ford of Broad River. She survived till 1824, to a very advanced age the grandmother of Capt. P. M. Waters and Dr. E. M. Bobo Edwards third marriage took place circa 1768.
Edward Musgrove listed Thomas Crosby, son of Dennis, as one of the executors of his will. Thomas died in 1791, and was unable to fulfill his responsibilities as administrator of Edwards estate.
Before the ending of the Revolutionary War, Edward gave up his position of neutrality and become a supporter in the fight for independence. He was possibly influenced by his third wife, Nancy Ann, for she came from a very patriotic family.
He and his wife, Ann, sold 100 acres of land in Union County, S. C., to Robert Crenshaw of Union County, S. C., on February 17, 1787, for 50 pounds sterling. This land had been granted to Edward on August 13, 1766.
Children Of Edward And Ann Crosby Musgrove Were: William, Margaret, Leah, Ann, Rachel, Liney And Hannah
6. Margaret Musgrove. According to Logan, Margaret was 12 years old when the Battle of Musgroves Mill was fought. This means that she was born circa 1768 or 1769. She married Landon Waters in 1792. He was the son of Bordroyne and his wife, Elizabeth. He was the grandson of Philemon and Sarah Bordroyne Waters. Landon was born in 1764.
7. Ann Musgrove. She was born May 25, 1773, and married Absalom Bobo August 1, 1790. He was the son of Simpson and Judith Foster Bobo and was born in Virginia, March 13, 1765. He was drafted during February or March 1781, while residing in Ninety Six District and served in the Revolutionary War under Col. Benjamin Roebuck and Capt. George Roebuck. He guarded prisoners at the Orangeburg jail.
8. Leah Musgrove. One source states that she married a Glenn.
9. Rachel Musgrove. On June 1, 1800, she married George Ross Adair, son of James and Rebecca Montgomery Adair, and grandson of Joseph Alexander and Sarah Lafferty Adair. He was born December 15, 1779.
10. Liney Musgrove. One source states that she married a West.
11. Hannah Musgrove. Her mother, Ann Crosby Musgrove Smith, and her step-father, David Smith, sold three slaves, beds, pots and tables to her on July 4, 1794, for 30 pounds sterling. She was not married at this time.
12. William Musgrove. In 1790, his fathers will left him the dwelling, land and mill after his mothers death. After he became of age, the court gave him back his fathers land. While living in Laurens District, S. C., he purchased 114 acres of land for $700.00 on November 1833, from Thomas and Isabella Fraser of Spartanburg District. He died in 1848, and left the mill and Musgrove house to his nephew, Dr. Edward Musgrove Bobo. There was an inscribed stone over his grave, but it has been removed.
It appears that Edward died in 1790, instead of 1792, Lyman C. Drapers death date. Edward made his will August 25, 1790, and probably died shortly after this. Ann was listed as head of the household in the 1790 U. S. Census of Laurens District. She received two grants of land in 1791, one for 65 acres and the other for 75 acres.
Edward Gordon Musgrove, of Enoree of Enoree in Laurens County, died after 1790 (will written 25 August 1790). He was the son of John Musgrove, Sr..
Edward married 1st to Rebecca Beaks born Bef. 1732; died in Union County, South Carolina, daughter of Abraham Beeks, born November 28, 1703; died Abt. 1732.

Comments by Bob Stevens concerning the address delivered before the Sons of the American Revolution at Spartanburg, S.C., April 2, 1926, by William S. Glenn, Published in The Spartanburg Herald, Spartanburg, S.C., on April 18, 1926, page 10.
Refer to page #3, the second paragraph, in which he gives the children of Edward and Ann Musgrove, which reads as “From records we believe to be accurate, we find that Margaret (1773-1824) married Landon Waters, Ann (1773-1857) married Absalom Bobo, Hannah married Winebrenner, Leah married Glenn, Liney married Robert K. West, and William (1782- Ann Stoves. This leaves Rachel 1848) married an English lady, Miss, mentioned in Edward Musgrove’s will, untraced.”
The last two scrambled lines were the fault of the newspaper type-setter and should read, “…William (1782-1848) married an English lady, Miss Ann Stoves. This leaves Rachel, mentioned in Edward Musgrove’s will, untraced.” (She was Ann Stowe, another mistake by the type-setter.)
Refer to page #4, the eighth paragraph, in the will of William Musgrove (1782-1848), the son of Edward and Ann Musgrove, and brother to Margaret, Ann, Hannah, Leah, Liney, and Rachel Musgrove, which reads, “…and the two sons of my niece, Hannah Winebrenner, Solomon and George…”
It is obvious that William Musgrove had a sister, Hannah, who married a Winebrenner, and a niece, Hannah, who married a Winebrenner.
