I came across the information below and believe that the Eva Macreny listed below is the same one that married George Backus who I descend from.
The marriage certificate for George's son Peter Backus (born 1819) to his second wife Martha E. McIntyre Mosher, lists mother as Eve McCrany or McCravy (The LDS site lists it as McCravey).
I believe that my George Backus is the one baptised 2 June 1792 at the Dutch Reformed Church, Herkimer, Herkimer County, NY (I believe his father to be George Backus).
I believe that the John Macreny listed below would have been born about 1760. He may have been the brother of William McCraney (born 1762 at Newburgh, Orange, NY, who married Sarah Fowler). The LDS site lists William's father as a John McCraney (born about 1736). That John McCraney is reputed to be the son of William McCraney and Dorothy Barnes.
Does anyone have proof of any of this? I am interested in discussing the McCraney line of New York (or Connecticut) with others researching it.
Sincerely,
John Reed
