Hello,

This is NOT my family; however, this is the information I can provide to you:

1880 Clay Co., KY
Dwelling 191-210
McCREARY, William, 32, b. KY; father b. TN; mother b. KY
. .Elizabeth, 30, wife, b. KY; parents b. KY
. .Beverly P., male, 8, son, b. KY
. .John E., 6, son, b. KY
. .George, 3, son, b. KY
. .Bettie, 1, dau, b. KY

NOTE: Clay Co. marriage records index has this information:

McCREARY, Wm. to SWAFFORD, Elizabeth 7 Mar 1871 - license date; marriage date: 18 Sep 1871 - File 15
NOTE: You should consider ordering the actual marriage record to possibly gain some addition confirming parentage information or other information.

Now. . . going backwards to the 1870 Clay Co., this "appears" to me to be the McCREARYs however the spelling of their surname is garbled.

Dwelling 413
McRARY, George, 48, b. TN
. .Charity, 48, b. KY
. .Claborn, 20, work on farm
. .Elizabeth, 15, at home
. .Mary, 13, at home
VALENTINE, Franklin, 9
McRARY, William, 21, -work on farm * * *

Clay Co. Marriage Index:
McCREARY, George to WOODS, Charity on 8 Apr 1858 - license date only - File 10

1860 Clay Co., KY
Dwelling 722
McCRARY, George, 36, b. TN - farmer
. .Charita, 36, b. Clay Co.
. .William, 11, b. Clay Co. * * *
. .Clabourn, 8, . Clay Co.
. .Betsy, 6, b. Clay Co.
. . Mary, 4, b. Clay Co.

1850 Clay Co., KY
Dwelling 70
McCRAY, George, 26, b. TN - wagon maker
. .Chariety, 26 b. KY
. .William, 2, b. KY* * *
. .Claibourn, 2 months

There are these two other dwellings all next to one another.
I am thinking it is likely these are George and Chariety's parents but I have no proof of that.

Dwelling 68
McCRAY, Joseph, 44, b. TN - wagon maker (Joseph McCREARY mar. Sarah NICHOLSON on 8-10-1832 in Clay Co.)
. .Sallie J., 45, b. KY
. .Joseph P., 13, b. KY
. .Catherine, 12, b. KY
. .Jane, 9, b. KY
. .Thomas, 6, b. KY
. .Annah, 5, b. KY
. .John, 4, b. KY

Dwelling 69
WOODS, Reubin, 60, b. NC - blacksmith
. .Elizabeth, 22, b. KY
. .Elhannan, 14, b. KY
. .Farily, 12, b. KY - female

Hope this is of help to you.
