Hello Board I am looking for the family or any connection to the New York, Illinois and California.
I have compiled a brief genealogy with some notes.
I believe the following family is related to mine in NY.
Thank You
Best regards
Kurt
Joseph MCCREERY JR. born 8 APR 1814 in the Fingerlakes region in (Spencer?) Brutus, Cayuga Co., New York d. 2 DEC 1892 in Elgin, Kane County, Illinois. Joseph was of a M. E. family, He was also the nephew of(REV.) Dr. Samuel
Lucky. Joseph was the Son of REV. Joseph MCCREERY Sr. b: 1790 d.1859 and Jane LUCKEY b: 1792 d.1859 and the grandson of John McCREARY.
His father Methodist REV. Joseph MCCREERY SR. abt b.1790 m. Jane LUCKEY she was the sister the famous Methodist REV, Samuel LUCKEY Both Joseph MCCREERY SR. and Samuel LUCKEY lived in Fulton County, NY, at some point between, at least 1820-1830 and and ministered to Broadalbin amoung other areas in their career.In the 1820 census it lists Joseph the 2nd living in Seneca, NY In the 1830 Census for Montgomery County it lists a Rev. JOSEPH MCCREERY in Johnstown, Montgomery County, NY and is mentioned in the History of Montgomery/Fulton County in the town of Glen and Broadalbin. Joseph SR. probably had more children than just Joseph and possibly are the McCeerys that were still there in the 1850 census index. But by 1840 it looks as if Joseph SR. is living in Chemung County.
Joseph MCCREERY JR. One of Wesley University first students. He graduated from Wesley University in Middletown, Conn. which was founded in 1831. He was probably in Monroe by 1840. Was a celebrated, excentric and well known Methodist Minister. His expulsion and that of Mr. Roberts of the Methodist Church lead to the formation of the the Free Methodist Church. After "the 5 year, much to do", Joseph was reinstated on probation to the M.E. Church, and was accepted back in Spencerport, NY 1860. After the conference and being reinstated sometime after 1862 he went west, pioneering the frontier, soon after living in the State of Illinois and California. Dec 2, 1892 11:30 p.m. Joseph McCreey, a widow, died of paralysis of the brain at the home of his son William at 364 Washburn street, Dec. 2 aged 79 years. He had left three sons and a daughter and has lived in California until 1891, Probably in San Joaquin, CA in 1870.
He married Sidney BARNES b: 15 APR 1819, New Jersey, but likely lived in the Mohawk Valley area of New York, possibly in Montgomery or Fulton County.
