Re: McCrary's from Jackson County, Alabama

Cal, With exception of the name Mary Ann McCrary, I cannot locate these individuals.There were no dates in your inquiry to limit the area of research, but based on data you obtained from 1900 census, one or more of this family must have entered the picture at a date later than when this particular line was stopped in my book.I do have a Mary Ann McCrary born ca1810 who was the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Allen McCraryThis Mary married twice, first to Garret Kirk and second to James Champion. Mary had eleven children, three with Garret:William, Gilbert Lee, Jane, Mary Ann, Jefferson (d. in CW), Elizabeth, George, William,John, Rena, and Thomas. My McCrary information begins with Samuel and Elizabeth Allen McCrary, ca1784, in Wilkes Co., NC.From Wilkes, they removed to Jackson Co, KY, and later into Jackson Co., AL. After Elizabeth's death, Samuel married Mrs. Celia Rash Allen, and had a total of seventeen children.So there are many different families associated with Jackson Co., AL, that can claim kin to the McCrarys!Due to scope of my book I only documented seven of those children:Almon, Joseph, Mary, Eliza, Elizabeth, Prudence, and John.I'd be happy to revisit my research on this McCrary line if you have more specific information.Thanks for writing.Walt
