Frank McCatty married a Rebecca Cresson in the USA, PA or NY in 1896. They moved to Jamaica and had a daughter, Edith May McCatty in 1897 and a son, Alexander George McCatty in 1898 or 1899. Edith May McCatty married a man named Bryant and they moved to Australia. I am searching for any information on Rebecca Cresson, probably born around 1898.

Jennie Cresson Luzier was my grandmother. She and my grandfather resided for years in Nutley, NJ. She had 5 children: Cathryn, Evelyn, Wilbur Jr, Robert (My Dad) and John. Wilbur William Luzier died in 1945 and my Grandmother continued to live in Nutley with her unmarried daughter Evelyn until her death around 1963-64. She was born on October 23, 1886 in New York to Philiar Cresson (born 1854 in Broome County,NY) and Mary Catherine Gray (born 1856 in NY). Her father Philiar died 3 months before Jennie's birth at the age of 32. Philiar and Mary Catherine had 5 children: George, Bess, Flo, John and Jennie. That is about all I know at this point. I guess this makes us cousins? Let me know if you have any information on the Cresson family.
Thanks

Do you know if this Isaac is the son of Isaac Harville Cresson/Creason of the Kokomo/Burlington, Indiana, area?
My great great grandfather, Willis Creason, born 1800 supposedly to James and Rachel Creason (8th of their 9 sons) had an older brother Isaac that we do not have information on, and this Isaac could be age appropriate to be my great great uncle as he would have been born 1783-1795.
I know of at least one person who is researching (and descended from) the Kokomo Creasons.

I think the information presented by Andrew Moody when he was "breaking" the will of his father may not have been correct. There are certainly family descendants who think that Rachel Moody Creason was their ancestor. Andrew according to one Moody book did break his father's will, Catherine Shomen Moody was probably his stepmother and he apparently did not want here to have access to Andrew Sr.'s land. Andrew Sr. was probably married to a "margaret" first and she was probably the mother of Andrew Jr., and perhaps others. None of this is proven but info given in this legal tussle may have been to benefit himself--Andrew Jr.
