I can't seem to find the information about him in the Placer County Census. As I
recall he was working as a miner up there for a while. I will keep looking. He was in
Austin,Lander County, Nevada when his son Edward was born 15 Nov 1867 and daughter Mary
(Molly)17 Jul 1870. He worked worked in the mines as an engineer, I think. I have seen the
name George W. McRea with connections to California before. My George McRea was going to
school in San Francisco studying mineing when he met Mary Elizabeth. They were married in
a Catholic Church in San Francisco. George W. is a possible, I should look closer at him.
Mary Elizabeth left him in Austin and took the children back to San Francisco, she
couldn't stand the conditions around the mines. They never got back together.
Thanks
