She married James Bingham (or Bigham) born abt. 1798 in Cladybeg, Kilclooney, Armagh, N. Ireland.

McCreary/McCreery 1946 in Portadown & Belfast

nmccreary123 — 2009-02-18 21:54:37Z

I'm trying to research my dad's family and I have reached a dead end.

My Grandfather John (Jack) McCreary and Great grandfather George McCreery both came to Canada in the early 1900's. My grandpa Jack was born in 1911 came to Canada in 1924 and passed away in 1973 in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. My great grandfather George McCreery passed away in 1946 in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan, Canada. His wife Mary McCreary (nee Gibson) stayed in Ireland.

My father has in his possession the judicial adminstration of the estate of George McCreary from December 1946, which lists the children of George and Mary - and three of the addresses are in Portadown, County Armagh, Ireland.

Wife: Mary McCreary and son James McCreary was listed at:
22 Severn Street,
Off Dee Street
Belfast Ireland

Richard McCreary (McCreery)
22 Castle Ave.
Portadown,
County Armagh, Ireland

George McCreary (McCreery)
No. 8 Charles Street
Portadown,
County Armagh, Ireland

Frank McCreary (McCreery)
No. 2 Redmanville Raltylum
Portadown, County Armagh, Ireland

Sarah (nee McCreary) Haakanson was at:
41 Rodbourne Road
Swindon, Wiltshire
England

Samuel McCreary was listed as:
Pte. Samuel McCreary
No. 6978948 C. Company
1st. Cheshire Regiment
B.A.O.R.

My grandfather Jack's family only kept in touch with one cousin, George Haakanson who also has not kept in contact with any other family members.

I am wondering if any children or grandchildren of my great grandfather George, and if any of them could help with tracking the genealogy of our family. McCreary could be spelled either way, my grandfather went by McCreary and my great grandfather went by McCreery.

I am a direct descendant of Cherry Tree Joe McCreery. My paternal grandmother was a McCreery. In all my research, I've come across it spelled with two e's and an ea. But I've never seen any other variation. I did only go back as far as Cherry Tree Joe who was born in 1805 to Hugh and Nancy in Lycoming County, PA.

Re: McCreary/McCreery/Dunlap/Dixon - PA

hwfamily2 — 2009-01-02 22:38:07Z

I've looked through my files, and sorry to say didn't come up with any "Christopher" : McCreery - McCleary - McClerry -McClory - McClery - McClary, nor any MacCreery, etc.

Does help to use the soundex when searching, for this surname seems to change spellings, with-in the same family, and generations.
My great-grandmother, spelled her maiden name as "McClory" or "McClary" depending on how one reads the way she wrote,or whoever wrote her name at the time,the "a" can be an "o", depending on the person looking at it.
Then again, her father spelled his name "McCreery & McCreary" as did her step mother.
Be glad to help down the road so please don't hesitate to ask.

jaco63_1 — 2008-11-15 20:41:09Z

Please don't confuse the Mc Creary with Mc Creery that will make your work twice as difficult. These were two very separate families. You will find Mc Creary can be found in Ireland but not the Mc Creery. I know that Jane Mc Creery was born in 1807 and died Sept. 1, 1898. She married James Cook, Sr around 1824-1825. They had nine children. Jane was the daughter of a James Mc Creery from Beaver, PA. I hope this helps you. But remember spelling counts. Good luck. Signed Jane

THANK YOU!! I am in Washington state and can only check records on ancestry.com, sites ie Rootsweb as people kindly post. A trip to Salt Lake City did not expand my McCreary tree. My guess was that Sarah GILMORE McCREARY is buried in Harmony U.P Cem in Harrisville, but no other McCreary are there. If most of her kids & husband died in a plague later 1850s as I guessed since I cant find them, where are they? A stone there says "Sarah McCreary d.19 Feb 1871 57y9m18d" This computes birth of May 1813. Her age in 1850 census with husband & kids was 32, 1860 living with another family (if its her) age 40, 1870 living with sis & B-I-L age 56. All different so I am very greatful for all possible info. I collect it and continuously puzzle the "what next" and "is it". Sheryl SLTREGELL@COMCAST>NET

New to sight. Was just peeking. Saw McCreery listed. There is a place somewhere near Butler I believe called the little white church. There is a head stone with the name Jane McCreery Cook. Will try to find out more if you want
Hope this might help sltregell@comcast.com.

Re: JOHN MCCREERY

TheTimeAngel — 2008-11-01 12:35:43Z

Looking at the Census it looks like there mabe more that one at least two different McCREERY familes living there.

In the History of Schuyler Illinois,(Historical encyclopedia of Illinois, Chicago: Munsell Pub. Co., 1908, 1102 pgs.) It states that Hugh McCREERY arrived in the USA in and in 1828 acsended the ILL. river by steamboat. He was the first family of foreign residence to settle in Schuyler County,
His family consisted of Hugh his wife Sarah,Children William and his wife, Mathew, John, Margaret, Sarah and James.

They lived Rushville. their son William was the first person ever, in Schuyler Illinois to take out naturalization papers. He took them out in Morgan, AL.in 1826 and they reveal he landed in New Orleans, Feb, 7, 1825 and renounced allegiance to the King of Great Britain,

It also states that William and both his Parents (Hugh and Sarah) died in the cholera scourge of 1834.

I believe Hugh's son John is to be the John McCREERY you have in question.

Best regards
Kurt

Sue78597 — 2008-10-30 15:30:11Z

There were another group of McCreery's in IL. They came from KY. in 1816. John, b. 10Nov1765 in VA, d. 6Oct1821 in Gallatin Co., IL, and is buried in Saline County, married Margaret/Peggy Black on 27/Mar/1787 in VA. John's father was named Robert and he and Margaret/Peggy had children named Mary Jane, William, Robert, Alexander, Sarah, Elijah, Agnes, Sarah, George, Allen, Charlotte, Julia Ann, Cynthia, Jane or Jean. Your John could easily be the grandson of John and Margaret.
How does your Jamison tie in with the McCreery's?

Re: JOHN MCCREERY

TheTimeAngel — 2008-10-30 08:32:59Z

This is all I can Find right now.

Robert McCREERY worked for Samuel G. M. GATES 1871, 1881-1882

Samuel G. M. GATES (b. abt 1839) and William L. Fay operated their lumbermill in Bay City, on the place that James FRASER's steam saw mill was built in 1846-47. Ther office was at the corner of n Water and 6th. In 1871 it employed aby 71 men. In 1865 the produced 4,500,00 board feet.

Gates and Fay had Mulay Saw and Circular Saws

If you havn't already, You might want to check to see if there are any records for the border crossing at Port Huron or Detroit in Abt 1861 for McCREERY's, I have looked at the Port Huron Nara Microfilms but not sure if the go that far back.

Also I find:

Just in case you are still interested in the McCREERY of Schuyler CO. ILL.

Kelly,
I would like to see the Census for 1850 that you speak of that lists Margaret and John McCREERY in the 1850 census. From the records I have seen I suspect that you need to Check the records in Canada. As Roberts Mother had Robert there. He could have come in through the Us or Canadian ports as a adult or child. When was he born? How do you know Roberts father was John? Did Robert have brothers or Sisters? Where is he buried? Was Roberts mother a Jamison?

dlwc58 — 2008-09-11 16:57:55Z

I have the paternity suit :) I am his gr-gr-granddaughter. My great grandfather, Elmer Blair Wissinger, was his illegitimate son. The only info I have on Bruce McCreery is from the 1870 censes, and the court papers pertaining to the paternity suit, listing Bruce McCreery as Blair's father and giving custody of Blair to his grandfather, Henry Wissinger. I saw a newspaper clipping that pointed to McKeesport as a possible residence for Bruce after that, but nothing solid.

Bruce McCreery

dlwc58 — 2006-09-25 18:28:18Z

My g-grandfather was the illegitimate son of Bruce McCreery. He was born in Cherry Tree, Indiana Co., PA, USA in 1884. Bruce McCreery was the son of William Edward McCreery. And, William was the son of Joseph McCreight McCreery (Cherry Tree Joe). I am having the hardest time tracking down Bruce McCreery after he left Cherry Tree, PA. I’ve heard that he moved to McKeesport, PA, but have no proof of this. Any information on Bruce McCreery, his wife and/or children would be greatly appreciated.

The collection of antiques is from the estate of the late
Josephine -Grant McCreery, who was married to a descendent
of one of the Bay Area's oldest pioneering families. (Mrs. McCreery's husband was Walter "Selby" McCreery whose grandfather, Andrew McCreery, came to the state in 1849 and built what was reputed to be one of the largest fortunes in the West. Selby's brother, Richard S. McCreery. lived in one of Hillsborough's first homes nearly three quarters of a century ago. Many of his descendants are still living on the Peninsula.)

Are you aware of the Michael Macreery website? You have probably found it by now. But if not. I believe most of the Orange County McCREERYS are in his line. Keep your eyes out for John McCREERY b. 1865? and Alva McCREARY b. about 1816.

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.

On Christmas eve, 1903 she was united in marriage to Chris BECK in the Methodist Episcopal parsonage, and to this union five children were born, two of whom, Bennie and Rolland, passed away in early childhood. The surviving children being Mrs. Wilma DICE of near Delmar, Mrs. Oma RIPPLE of this city, and Donald, aged 10, at home, who with the bereaved husband and father mourn the loss of a loving mother and devoted wife. Mrs.BECK also leaves her aged mother, Mrs. Ella WHITMORE of Dubuque and grandmother, Mrs. Nancy J.

Mrs. Beck was a faithful member of the United Methodist church at Union Center, and also a member of the Philathea class of the Maquoketa Methodist Sunday school; a true Christian, a loving wife and mother and a kind and faithful friend.
Last Monday Mrs. BECK was taken suddenly ill and a physician was called, and despite all medical skill and willing hears and hands could do, her condition became more serious and on Wednesday she was removed to Memorial hospital, specialists and a special nurse summoned, but all efforts to stay the inevitable failed and she passed away at noon on Friday, August 12, 1927.
The funeral services were held from the Methodist church following a prayer at the home at 2:30 Sunday afternoon, Rev. F.C. Worcester of the Methodist church officiating. Interment was made in the cemetery at Bridgeport.

Seek: Sarah Jane McCreary b.10/1940 in W. Penn census?
Per History of Butler Co: her father is Thomas & mom unknown. Census advises her parents born PA.

My prior relatives thought her father was John McCreary a solder of Fort Pitt, and her older siblings died of cholera. Was it her gfather who was the soldier?

She wed Thomas Barnes aft 1860 census as he still lives with his parents in Mercer Tp, Butler Co,PA, and their first child born 2/1861= "Lizzi" Anna E. Barnes. Where is Sarah & parents in 1860 & prior ?

1870 census are 2 servant McCreary girls, Sarah's sisters?
1. Maria, b.1853, servant to Robt Barns(Thomas' brother)
2. Harriet, b.1855, servant next door to Thomas & Sarah

Have you come across these McCreary in your research?

Death cert of Sarah Jane McCreary Barnes lists her death at 24 Mar 1928 in Butler Co PA, & her mother as Sarah Gilmore.

I found Thomas & Sarah McCreary family in Wolf Creek, Mercer Co PA 1850 census:
Thomas - 38 - born abt 1812
Sarah - 32 (this is Sarah Gilmore) b. abt.1818
Mary Ann - 14
Elizabeth - 10
Jane - 8 (this is Sarah Jane born 5 oct 1840)
Polly - 6
Joseph - 4
Vance - 2

In 1860 census:
Polly is a domestic in Pine, Mercer Co PA for McCoy
Sarah Jane - wed Barnes 1859 but I dont find her
where are the other McCreary? Plague?

Another researcher lists parents of Sarah Gilmore as:
>>John Gilmore - b.abt.1772 Ireland & d. 1 Apr 1852 Mercer, PA
>> Mary Polly Mortimer - b.abt. 1775, d. abt 1871, buried Harrisville, Butler Co, PA in Prairie Cemetery).

Thomas McCreery (b.1812)Butler Co PA adopted by John Zeigler

stregell — 2008-09-02 01:27:37Z

I have a copy of the Butler Co, PA 8 April 1830 Orphan Court records stating that Thomas McCreery, son of Thomas Creery, (note surname difference) was an orphan above age 14 and prays court grant adoption of himself by John Zeigler, which was approved. So this Thomas McCreery would be born about 1816 or earlier. My missing Thomas McCreary (who might be this orphan) was born abt.1812PA per 1850 census for Wolf Creek,Mercer Co,PA where he lives with his wife Sarah (Gilmore), and kids Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Sarah Jane, Allis Pauline, Joseph, Vance. I can find only some members in 1860-not Thomas. Family story is that his McCreery ancestor at Fort Pitt PA had married a red headed Irish gal - that must have been abt 1770ish? Hope someone can help me move back on Thomas McCreary b.1812ish.

Apparently Reubens father was not only known as Reuben but also as Joseph McCREERY Reuben's mother was Martha McCREERY.
From the History of Genesee county, Michigan. With illustrations and biographical sketches of its prominent men and pioneers. Author: Ellis, Franklin, 1828-1885.

"SIMON KING was born April 24, 1802. He was the son of Simon King, who was a native of Connecticut. The elder King was a farmer by occupation, and died when our subject was a child. Simon, Jr., spent his early life in the town of Wheatland, Monroe Co., N. Y., where he resided until 1849. He then came to Michigan and settled in Pulaski, Jackson Co., Mich., where he remained four years, when he gave the property to his sons, Simon and Hiram, and came to Genesee to engage in the manufacture of lumber and flour in company with Reuben McCreery. This business he carried on extensively until 1861, since which time he has been engaged in farming. Mr. King has been twice married,-first to Isabel, daughter of Joseph and Martha McCreery. By this union there were born to them six children,-two sons and four daughters. In 1864, Mrs. King died, and in 1867 he married Mrs. Philinda Bodine. Mr. King has been a successful business man, and has endeared himself to a large circle of friends and relations".

This is a list of McCRERY McCREERY McCREARY and McCRARY's in the Federal 1790 1800 1810 and 1820 Census in NY and how the family might look and it is up to interpretation.

Theron A Mc CREERY b. Sep 1872 NY Parents b. NY. lived Clinton township, Middlesex, Connecticut in 1900 m. abt 1894 Minnie L or C b. Jan. 1870 New Jersey by 1910 living in New London County, CT. they still had no children however a Viola YOUNG age 10 was living with them. And by 1930 (Thurn) they were living in Westchester, New York. I have not yet found him in the 1880 Census,

Theron A. McCREERY and a Mr. LANE were partners in a business that produced launches and other boats before McCREERY started his own boatyard on Willow Point, West Mystic, active from 1904 to about 1913. Launches, yacht tenders, auxiliary fishing smacks and other craft were among those built by McCREERY. A Photo "Old/ McCreery and Lane/ Boat Shop,/ Pistol Point" can be found in the CT archives online http://www.cthistoryonline.org

(In New London CT. in 1880 there was a Samuel McCREERY m. to Mary E. MARTIN? had three children Edwin, Grace, and Amy all born CT. An Uncle?
Also further back In New London CT. there was a: "Peter Creery was marryed unto Cristobel Gallup ye of December1677 they had at least one child Christobell Creery daughter of Perter & Christobell Creery born ye latter end of February 1678" Mary Ann, m. Clarke DANIELS, b of New London, Dec. 24, 1843, by Rev. Lemuel Covell, -New London CT genweb )

Albany NY Evening Journal- June 2nd, 1853
Mysterious disappearance.
William R. McCRARY aged 18 years left the Suffield Institute (Academy) at Suffield CT. on the 27th of April and has not since been heard from. He is the son of Dr. McCRARY of Agawam, West Springfield. It is feared that the young man maybe laboring under a slight mental aberration, as there is no other conceivable way of accounting for his leaving all the comforts of a happy home, affectionate parents, to whom he was devotedly attached. Papers coping the above will greatly oblige the afflicted parents and friends, and anyone having information respecting him, will confer a favor and be liberally rewarded by communicating the same to Dr. Edwin McCRARY, Springfield MASS.

New McCreary DNA Project, Includes McCreery Surname

addiemoseley500 — 2006-01-07 19:19:13Z

The new McCreary surname group project at www.familytreedna.com is now up and running. Please email me if you are a male McCreary; a male whose natural father is/was a McCreary by birth; or a female McCreary descendant who knows a male McCreary who would be willing to be tested. Since the test is a Y-DNA test to determine the likelihood of a common ancestor between test participants in the DIRECT PATERNAL line, female McCrearys are not eligible.

Any variation of the surname McCreary is welcome to establish a database within the project. Some known variations include McCreery, McCrary, McRory, and McCravy. I am also very interested in talking to any McCrearys living in Ireland who would like to be tested.

The cost of testing is discounted for members of the group project, so please contact me before you order a test. The link to the project and order page is http://mailman.barnwellsc.com/mmstdod.pl?BACKGROUND=http%3a%...

My direct line is Robert McCreary, Sr. born about 1745 probably Down Co., Ireland who married Mary Fortune b. 1746. Robert purportedly came to America about 1764, settling in Kershaw District near Camden, SC, then migrating to Barnwell District about 1770, where he died about 1810-15.

Thank you,
