I edited his bio to reflect the correct burial place in Prospect, not Portersville. Also uploaded the image from Find-a-Grave. The name is written with an apostrophe, not a small "c." This is apparently a common stone-carvers' abbreviation.

James and his wife Eliza are actually buried in the Prospect Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Prospect. Their names on their stones are spelled with an apostrophe in place of the small "c": M'Grew.
