I've been researching the McCreary family and writing abook, The McCreary Family
History forthe past five years and it is now finished and available for order. It
startswith George McCreary (1752-1842) who came to the United States from what is
nowNorthern Ireland about the time of the Revolutionary War. He lived in YorkCounty, PA,
then Washington County, PA, and about 1800 moved to Licking County,Ohio where he and his
children lived for a generation. From there they movedwest through Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, and many other places. His childrenincluded: Thomas McCreary (1781-1855), Nancy
McCreary (1785-?) who marriedDavid Evans, James McCreary Sr. (1789-1871), Benjamin
McCreary (1791-1866),Rebecca McCreary (1796-1869) who married James McFarlin/McFarland,
ElizabethMcCreary (1799-?) who married Alexander McFarland, William McCreary (1802-?)Sarah
McCreary, and Mary McCreary.
