MILLER GRIEVE, Sr.

    Miller Grieve, Sr., born in Edinboro, Scotland, in 1802, came with his
mother and two sisters, to Lexington, Georgia, in 1811. In 1822, he entered a
law partenship with his brother-in-law, Joseph Henry Lumpkin, afterwards Chief
Justice. Governor George Gilmer brought him to Milledgeville in 1829, as his
secretary. He married Sarah Grantland, daughter of Fleming and Agnes Jones
Grantland.

    Upon Gov. Gilmer's retirement in 1831, Col. Grieve assumed the editorship of
the Georgia Journal, which had been founded in 1812, by Fleming and Seaton
Grantland. In 1850, he was appointed Ambassador to Denmark, and served most
acceptably for four years. As editor of the leading paper in the capital city,
Col. Grieve wielded great influence. Howell Cobb, Robert Toombs, Alex. Stephens,
and the leaders of politics in Georgia, acknowledged their debt to his wise
editorials and sane deductions.

    A staunch Presbyterian, he helped to finance old Oglethorpe University. Full
of honors and years in 1879, he fell on sleep.

MILLER GRIEVE, Jr.

    Miller Grieve, Jr., lawyer, architect, and dramatist, was the oldest son of
Miller Grieve and Sarah Grantland Greive. He went with his father to Europe when
the latter was Ambassador to Denmark, and received part of his education in
Europe. With great talents, he abundantly served his generation. His defense of
a criminal case would bring an audience from many miles. He served his country
gallantly in the Civil War, then came back to serve a broken country with all
his gifts.
