McCrary Family
In researching the McCrary’s, I found I could not positively identify our McCrary immigrant. It seems he was likely either JAMES or JOHN. As the book - From Whence We Came - states: “Our Thomas McCrary was born in Ireland of Scots-Irish parents. There are no known confirmed records of his parents, the date of his birth nor any details of his life in Erin. He arrived in American about 1750, this according to tradition and not a known fact. There were ports of entry in Baltimore and Philadelphia and many immigrants from Northern Ireland arrived at either one of these places. Tradition tells us he came with his brothers, Andrew, John and Robert. According to cousins who have researched the family, there is evidence (but no documentary proof) that they settled for a short time in Pennsylvania, in the area of York (then Baltimore) Co., and in Lancaster Co. According to the researchers they were many McCrary's (of various spellings) in that area as early as 1730 through 1740's.”
James McCrary and wife Martha, of Antrim, Ireland, are commonly called our original McCrary's in the colonies. He is said to have come first to Pennsylvania, then moved on to Augusta County, Virginia. Betty Smith Meischen’s book entitled From Jamestown to Texas (copyright 2010), mentions our McCrary family quite often. She, and others, are continuing the work to confirm that James McCrary was the father of our Thomas, as well as of Andrew, John, Robert, and Anne.
Both a James McCrary and a John McCrary can be found quite often in Augusta County, Virginia Records, such as:
28 May 1751: On the petition of Robert Campbell & others, it is Ordered that JOHN McCREARY, Wm. Lockhart and James Wilson lay a road from between Captain Wilsons' and JOHN McCREARY's to the south side of James Lockarts field thence to the south side James Wilson's field and from thence to the nearest and best way by Capt. Christians to the road that leads from Pattons Mill to the Tinkling Spring.
19 May 1753: On the petition of sundry the inhabitants, it is Ordered that a road be cleared from Browns' Bridge to the Glebe land and that Robert Campbell and John Trimble be surveyors and with James Lusk, Robert Robeson, Samuel McCutcheon, William Hunter, james Hunter, Robert Campbell's man, Matthew Wilson, William Wilson, John Wilson, Jr., JOHN McCREARY, JAMES McCREARY, Thomas KILPATRICK & son; James Peiry, James Clark (etc, etc - many more names, including ROBERT, JOHN, SAMUEL, and Hugh YOUNG) that they clear and keep the same in repair according to law.
10 August 1765: On the motion of JOHN McCREARY, it is Ordered that he be for the future exempted from working on the roads. [it could reasonably be assumed he is now too old for such work]
21 November 1768: JOHN McCREERY is appointed surveyor of the road from Capt. Charles Lewis's to where Dickinsons road joins the road leading from Staunton to Warm Springs and ordered that he with the tithables from John Dickensons to William Blacks on the Cow Pasture and Stuarts Creek, clear and keep the same in repair according to law in the room of John McClenachan.
25 March 1769: Charles Donnerly and JOHN McCREERY are appointed surveyors of the road from Capt. Charles Lewis's to the fork of the Dickinson Road and Charles Lewis to divide the same & tithables and ordered that they with the said tithables clear and keep the same in repair according to law.
Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in VIRGINIA, Volumes 1 & 3 mention the McCrary's, and it is interesting to note familiar surnames, such as WRIGHT:

1795: There is a record of an ANDREW McCREARY marrying CATHERINE LAMB, June 4, in First Marriage Records of Augusta County, Virginia, 1785-1813.
We find more records on the family in South Carolina, however. We know that they were all ardent Patriots, and the following article tells a wonderful story about those times for the McCrary family:
An article dated May 31, 1859 in the Charleston Mercury, entitled "From the Laurensville Herald, Old Recollections," mentions the McCrary's, and relates a very interesting story from 1781. I repeat it here, knowing that all of our McCrary's were active Patriots during the Revolution, and this story gives you a wonderful sense of the times:
"In the "Annals of Newberry," pages 41 and 42, it is clearly proven that Col. Tarleton [of British infamy] left Tea Table Rock in Newberry District, S.C., on the 9th of January 1781, en route for Cowpens; and that he was eight days marching from that point to Cowpens, a distance of 75 miles. History has represented him as pursuing Morgan at this time with all haste. But here seems a discrepancy, and I think the authority given above sufficient to establish the fact of Col. Tarleton's leaving the Tea Table Rock on the 9th of January - the battle of Cowpens being on the 17th. This difference in the statements in history, has suggested the inquiry in my mind as to where Col. Tarleton was during those eight days. Failing to glean additional light from all histories of that period within my reach, I have endeavored, through other sources, to trace it out. As yet, I have only been able to find out where he spent one-and-a-half days of that time. As the fact of his spending one-and-a-half days in Laurens District at that time, and his object in so doing is not generally know, the following recollections, for which we are indebted to a friend, may not prove uninteresting to your readers:
"Col. Tarleton, after leaving "Tea Table Rock" on the 9th of January, proceeded to what was then known as Duncan's settlement on Duncan's Creek, which runs through the northeastern portion of Laurens District. Here he halted at the house of Robert Long, a well-known Whig, who had done enough hard fighting in the cause of liberty to render Tarleton particularly anxious to capture him. Here (at Long's), Tarleton fixed his headquarters. Dwelling in the same neighborhood, and not far from Long's, lived another prominent Whig, named McCRARY - whose descendants still live there, as also do those of Long- whom Tarleton was eager to capture also. Long was absent from home when Tarleton took possession of his house; but when returning, and being within a few miles of his home - his heart beating with the fond anticipation of meeting his wife and children, and in their arms for a moment to forget his toils, and to gather new strength to battle for his bleeding country - he was astonished when, on meeting a friend, he was told of the occupation of his house by Tarleton. Turning aside, he wended his way to the house of his friend McCRARY, there to seek shelter and concealment. Tarleton, with his lynx-eyed followers, was not long in finding out that McCRARY and Long were both at the house of the former. He immediately sent out a patrol to capture them. McCRARY and Long seeing the patrol coming along the road, ran out the back of the house, endeavoring by that mode to escape; they were quick in this attempt, yet not enough so to elude the vigilant eye of the patrol, who gave chase. McCRARY made his escape through the woods, but Long was captured and brought back to the house, which they fired, and proceeded to a convenient tree for the purpose of hanging their prisoner, their orders being to kill them in case of capture. The patrol remained mounted, except the few whose duty it was to hang Long. The rope was placed around his neck, and one of the party had begun to climb a tree for the purpose of fastening it to a limb, when several loaded guns in the house, which they, in their hurry, had not discovered, coming in contact with the flames of the burning building, began firing off, one at a time. The Tories, suspecting it to be a party of Whigs coming to the rescue, put spurs to their horses, leaving Long standing beneath the tree, from which he immediately escaped. The alarm was given in camp, and another patrol sent out, but they failed in finding an enemy.
"Long lived many years after the war, to enjoy the liberty he fought so hard to obtain. The spring, from which Tarleton procured water, is upon the plantation of Dr. Thomas Weir. Recently, whilst making some excavations below the spring, a cartridge box full of balls were found about six feet below the surface. It was presented by Dr. Weir to the museum at Greenwood, which has since been removed to the Laurensville Presbyterian College. [signed] LAURENS"
We know the siblings, brothers and one sister, of the immigrant McCRARY. It is assumed these children came over with their parents; Scots-Irish, from Ulster, Ireland:
1) Andrew McCrary
2) Robert McCrary, born about 1732, died 1803 in Laurens Co, South Carolina
3) John McCrary, born about 1732, died 5 Jan 1814 in Baldwin Co, Georgia
4) THOMAS McCRARY, born about 1737, died around 1793 in Duncan's Creek, Laurens Co., South Carolina
5) Anne McCrary
ANDREW McCRARY. Personally, I have found little to identify what became of Andrew, other than the following notes. If anyone has more information about him, I hope you will contact me.
Andrew McCrary (McCreary) served in the Little River Regiment under Capt. James Dillard, Col. Casey, and General Pickens during 1782. Andrew was an elder at Duncan's Creek Presbyterian Church in 1766.
"About 1764, Messrs Joseph Adair, Thomas Ewing, William Hanna, Andrew McCrary and his brother united in building a house of worship. In 1766 they were visited by Mr. Duffield, Mr. Fuller, and Mr. Campbell, afterwards by Rev. Hezekiah Balch, who advised the people to choose elders. Andrew McCrary, Joseph Adair and Robert Hanna were elected elders and were ordained by Rev. Balch. Land records of the time from the SC Archives name four McCrary's obtaining land in this area. Andrew McCrary received 200 acres in Berkley County on Duncan's Creek in the fork of Broad and Saluda certified on 5 February 1763, and Robert McCrary received 200 acres in Berkeley County on Duncan's Creek. The Precept was granted on 7 December 1762, and the survey certified on 5 February 1763. Thomas McCrary received 200 acres alongside Andrew and Robert certified on 15 December 1765 and granted on 10 July 1766. Payment was to commence two years from date. And lastly John McCrary exhibited a memorial for 150 acres in Berkley County on a branch of Enorce called Duncan's Creek (3 ft wide and 4 inches deep of running water) certified by survey 2 February 1773 and granted 11th of February 1773.
"It is believed that these four McCrary's were brothers who came to South Carolina along with their sister Ann who married Benjamin Kilgore. While there are no other records that have been found that establishes the name of their parents or their exact relationship, the evidence certainly indicates a strong family relationship. What is known is that these individuals soon settled in, worked very hard, and became prosperous well-respected citizens. As described in Howe's' History, the settlers dressed in hunting shits, leggings, and moccasins adorned with buckles and beads. The hair was clubbed and tied up in a little deerskin or silk bag. Sometimes they wore their hair cued and rolled up in a black ribbon or bear's gut dressed and dyed black. Later, it became the custom to shave off the hair and wear white linen caps with ruffles around. The women wore long eared caps, Virginia bonnets, Stays, stomachers, quilted petticoats, and high wooden heels. There was little market for produce except to other new settlers. Trade was carried on in skins and furs. Deer and beaver skins were a lawful tender in payment and debts.
"During this time the McCrary's often served in defensive militias to protect the colonists from Indian attacks. It is said that Indians killed Ann McCrary Kilgore while she was riding a horse holding her small son. Possible due to their Scotch-Irish ancestry McCrary's also took a firm stand against the British. And because of their activities, left many records and stories of their trials and deeds during the Revolutionary War. While we are sure that this was a very traumatic event in their lives, we, as descendants, are most fortunate to have so many clues as the type of people we claim as Ancestors."

History of the Presbyterian Church in South Carolina, Volume 1, discusses in Chapter 3 the Bethesda Church in York.
A Mr. McCreary visits with the church in Long Canes - Abbeville district: Long Canes is in the upper portion of what was originally called Granville county and afterwards Ninety-Six district. The first important settlement was made in February 1756, when about eight Presbyterian families migrated from Pennsylvania to the upper parts of Virginia and North Carolina, and thence to this place. Many of the earliest were of the name Calhoun. Since this is the path our McCrary's followed, it is of some interest that in 1767 and 1768, several ministers visited the church in this region after ardent petitions had been sent to the synod of New York and Philadelphia. MR. McCREARY, a probationer from Pennsylvania, was among those ministers who were received "with gladness and with advantage to many souls." Mr. McCreary, in fact, "received a unanimous call from the congregations, 249 persons setting their names to it as subscribers." He was to give his answer to the presbytery of Newcastle, under whose care he was as a probationer, who desired to ordain him, should he accept. It seems, however, that the church was unsuccessful in it's call. This Mr. McCreary (from Pennsylvania) also visited occasionally with the church at Fairforest in 1766 (on the Catawba). In 1767, Long Canes, Duncan's Creek, Little River, and Briar Creek in Georgia, petitioned, and the synod appointed, Mr. Mcreary (along with Messrs. Bay, Potter, Alexander, Latt, and Jackson, to journey thorugh Virginia nd North and South Carolina for six months or more. In 1768, Long Cane called Mr. McCREARY. But it seems it was decided that Mr. McCreary would supply in the Carolinas for six months, with Mr. Josiah Lewis as his backup should Mr. McCreary be unable to fulfill his appointment.
This source mentions Andrew specifically, page 610: "ANDREW McCREARY was chosen to the eldership in 1795 and served until his removal to the West, at the close of the century."
Adair Family Genealogy: An Accounting of our South Carolina-Indiana-Idaho Adair Ancestry, with Brief Analysis of Our Scotch-Irish Ancestry, mentions Andrew: Duncan Creek Church, Laurens County, SC, was founded 1763-4 by Joseph Adair, Thomas Ewing, William Hanna, and ANDREW McCRARY and his brothers.
There is mention of an Andrew McCreary in --- Morris Migration: A Saga of Forebears and Descendants, Volume 1996, Part 1, by Anne Morris Mertz. The Morris family, as well, seems to have started in the colonies, either in Pennsylvania or Maryland. They moved to Virginia, and then on to Kentucky. John Morris (b. in Wales c 1677, to Philadelphia c 1697-9; died c 1744) - had son Richard Morris who married Rebecca, and Richard & Rebecca had six children, one of whom was Mary Morris. We know that Andrew McCreary "moved west." Mary Morris, born c. 1756, married first in 1776 Daniel Greathouse, who died in 1777; Mary married 2nd ANDREW McCREARY.
It should also be noted that there was an Andrew McCrary killed in the battle at Bunker Hill when he was struck by a canon ball from the British fleet.
