Hi Roger,
Robert Heaps & Elizabeth Frew were my 4xg grandparents.
They never came to Australia - it was in fact their grandson John who came here with his wife Elizabeth Simpson and 4 children in 1858. A further 9 children were born here in Victoria. The oldest of their children Thomas McLuckie Heeps - was my g grandfather. He had a total of 17 children so the family here is quite large.

Re: Frews of Carriden Scotland

They set sail from Liverpool on the ship called Enoch Train on March 23, 1856. The Enoch Train is in the museum in Salt Lake City. Jean was sick all the way. She was so sick she couldn't eat and many days she was in bed all day. They buried two sons at sea. One was about two and a half years old and the other a small baby.

Query:
Can anyone descending from this line of Frew's give me a list of the children born to John and Jean?
I have a total of 10 with Margaret Ann b. 1862 as the last child. Noting that Thomas b. 1850 and John b. 1852 are not mentioned with the family on the passenger list. Are they the two children that were buried at sea?

Lynnette,

I have some family histories and pedigree details for this family. If you will e-mail me at beshoffs@msn.com, I can send them to you. Ancestry.com requires a membership to contact and I don't use it often enough to make that worth my while. I have attached the pictures I have.

Re: Frew/Houk

WFrew1560 — 2008-09-14 04:08:56Z

Hi Deb:

The John Frew who helped form the Mountville Church is John Frew (b. 1770 and d. 1853) who was the oldest son of Alexander Frew, Sr., the 1774 immigrant (b. abt. 1737 and d. 1819). This Alexander is also my gggg-grandfather Frew who settled in Slippery Rock Township.

Alexander Frew, Sr. (b. abt. 1737) arrived with a married older brother, John Frew (b. abt. 1735 and d. 1814) who settled in what is now Pittsburgh (Greentree area)and a younger brother, James Frew, who married in Cecil County, Maryland in 1778. Two unmarried sisters, Ann and Harriet, accompanied the brothers.

Alexander Frew (b. 1737) had five children: John, James, Rosanna, Ann and Alexander, Jr. Early deed records indicate that Alexander Frew, Jr., may have been the earliest purchaser of land from Chew as his deed is dated in 1799 and the others a year or two later.

I would be glad to send copies of my family group sheets and research notes if I knew who you were and your relationship.

Cordially,

Re: Frew/Houk

WFrew1560 — 2008-09-10 16:17:05Z

Hello Deb:

I will be glad to help with the older Frews who are descended from Alexander Frew (d. 1819). I also have a great deal of information on the descendants of John Frew, the older brother who built the Frew house in Pittsburgh, and James Frew, the younger brother who married after arrviing in the Colonies with the rest of the family. I will contact you this evening via e-mail.

FYI, whoever wrote the Son of the American Revolution citation for the plaque on Alexander's grave in the Slippery Rock PC cemetary partially confused our Alexander's family with that of Alexander Frew, the oldest surviving son of John Frew the older brother. Considering the use of common given names between branches of the family I guess this should not be unexpected. Many first cousins had the same given names, even the unusual names.

Re: Descendents of James Frew, Frewsburg, NY, 1770s.

Kathryn_Akatiff — 2008-04-22 03:37:10Z

James Frew died when he was about 42 years old... while raising a building in Frewsburg, he was killed by a falling beam. His wife, Rebecca Wheeler survived him. His older brother, John suvived him by many years. His son, Josiah was my great grandfather. He later had land and a sawmill on the Allegheny River (Onoville) where he raised his family, but died and was buried in Frewsburg, NY. Josiah had a brother, Jefferson, who died about 1900.

FREW - strated?

JamesECraig09 — 2008-03-21 09:54:30Z

I want to find the parents of my GG Grandfather John Craig (b 1812) who married Elizabeth Orr (b1813). They lived in Kilbirnie, Ayrshire, Scotland until 1841/42.
It has been suggested that John was the son of James Craig and Helen Frew of Kilbirnie(birthdate 28 SEP 1811)
but I can't trace that or therefore go any further back.

Clues or ideas much needed please.

Thanks,

James.

Re: FREW in Lanakshire, Scotland

geneequest — 2008-10-03 19:33:35Z

Hmm - interesting. I like Frew better than Ford, I must admit.
At the same time I might note what more I've found on my Lanarkshire FREW line!
Jane FREW (b ~1822 Old Monkland or Wishaw - d.1901 Dalziel) married James LEGGAT (b 1817 Cambusnethan - 1880 Dalziel) in 1840 at New Monkland.

I am still not sure who the parents of Jane are as there are a few that could fit. She did appear to have a relative (sister I am guessing)Isabella who married William DEAN 1834 at Hamilton. I don't know what happened to either Isabella or William but they had at least one daughter Mary Frew DEANS who apprears to have lived with Jane (Jean) and James from the age of 4 till her teen (speculation from census entries).
The children of Jane and James, to my knowledge, are:
James (b 1841) m. Agnes HALLIDAY (my gg grandparents)
Isabella (b. 1843)
John (b. 1850)
Janet (b. 1855) m. William FERGUSON (b ~1854)
Charlotte (b. 1859)

Any links????

My grandfather was Howard Milton Frew, married to Ida Hartsuff Frew. They had two children, Gail Kingsley Frew and Charlene Ann Frew. Gail is my mother. I have one sister. Ida died in 1986. Gail is 82 and in poor health now. I am 59 years of age, 60 in two months, and my sister is 57. I had no children. My sister has a son age 37.

I also have some information on my grandfather's brother James Ramsey and his side of the family, although I don't know most of my cousins.

I'm curious who you are and why you posted on this message board. I'm writing my second novel and the main character is based on my grandmother, Ida. I began just fooling around with this genealogy stuff and found these posts from you. I look forward to hearing back.

The origin and meaning of FREW is
Scottish:habitational name from fords to frew,
a fortified site on the forth river,
probably so called from a british element
FRWD current stream this place was the lowest crossing point.
On the river forth and so an important strategic location in nthe middle ages.

I don't now the date of the picture but from the clothing I would guess around 1930. I also have a picture of William Bartlett with his father Isaac Frew and his sister Mary Frew. I would love to hear from anyone on the family tree.

debshingledecker — 2008-09-10 03:10:47Z

I believe that we are descended from the same ancestors and I would love to share info. You probably have more than I do however I would love some clarifications. My great grandmother is Nancy Louise "Frew" McFarland ( daughter of Felicia and Philip Frew; son of David and Nancy Frew; son of James?).
The older generation is where I am a little confused. There are so many Davids, James, Nancys and Philips in this family. Reusing the family names must have been very important to them.
My email account is debshingledecker@hotmail.com.
I am from the Lawrence County area and ironically grew up above the Frew Mill road.

Re: Frew: Misc. Abstracts from Lawrence Co. PA newspapers

I see that have responded to these Lawrence Co Frews. I too am a descendent of these Frews and have been trying to sort out the numerous Davids, Philips, Nancy's, etc. in this entire family.
I am a descendent of Nancy Louise Frew (daugher of Philip and Felcia "mcCullough" frew; Philip is a descendent of David and Nancy Frew.
Do you fit into these Frews. It seems like you so in regards to your post and NCN obits.

There used to be a cousin of my grandmothers that lived in DC whose name was also Howard.
My email address is debshingledecker@hotmail.com
I would love to share info.

Re: Frew/Houk

debshingledecker — 2008-09-14 00:49:42Z

Bill,
I look forward to seeing your information. The more I look into the Frews the more confused I am getting from these overlapping names.
Who is the John that helped to form Mountville church? I thought that he was the oldest one that came to the area.
There are some property listings in the early land grand map of the county that shows James and Alexander as purchasing pieces of the Chew lands. Is this the Alexander in your line?
I appreciate any clarity that you can provide me.
Deb
