^ - >; PREFACE
In presenting this book to the public we feel that it is very far
from being complete, and no one regrets it more than the ones who
have given of their time and energies to help compile what we have.
Yet we have put forth our best efforts to make the history as full and
as far-reaching as it was within our power to do, and we trust that
where discrepancies have occurred or omissions may have been made
hat it was not with any knowledge of ours. Many places where the
information is very limited and appears to be wanting, it was all that
we could get.
We wish to thank those who have taken an interest ami helped
to gather the record for this book, and would ask the members of the
McXary Familv to secure one of the books and to fill up any omissions,
correct any errors or make additions for births and notations of deaths,
so that at some future day, if it be desired to compile a later edition
or a supplement, it may be done much easier and be better.
The expense of publishing has been guaranteed by voluntary con-
tributions, which are to be reimbursed from the proceeds of sale of
book, and we sincerely hope that every family will purchase as many
as they can use. and thus help out the Committee, as it is not the in-
tention to make any money, but to merely bear the expense of the pub-
lication. To this end we have made the price only nominal and within
the reach of all. THE PL'BLISHIXG COMMITTEE.
ANNOUNCED! ENT
Every McNary household should have one of these Books
that they may know the family history and that they will he
prepared to keep reeord of at least their immediate families,
of the Births and Deaths etc., for future records and should
there be another edition published later to complete it.
There has been a limited number of these Books printed
and if you do not have one you should secure it while the
supply lasts. They are being sold at the cost of Publishing
and can be had by addressing
T. A. McNARY,

INTRODUCTION
By J. R. McNary of Burgettstown, Pa.
Should the casual Student — in this year of grace 1907
deign to trace the rise and development of our great and rapidly expanding country,
by referring to the pioneer annals of Western Pennsylvania — especially to the history
of that portion located to the westward of the Monongahela, and south of the Ohio
River — he will find abundant evidence to incite true wonder and admiration! In this
wonderful region — a veritable hive of industry — where the verdant hills and fertile
valleys are girded by bands of steel, and thickly studded with suburban village or
embryonic city; where furnace and workshop belch forth flaaie; and where luiuost
the entire region is a "city of derricks," tapping subterranean wealth in streams
of oil and gas! Where hundreds of mines are distributing millions of tons of Black
Diamonds to feed the furnace, the workshop and the warship of the great-
est empire known to man! In the presence of this wonderful scene of activity
and of applied mechanical power, the student of National progress may well pause.
and, in unfeigned admiration exclaim, ''How. and from whence came all this?" And
will the cause of his unalloyed admiration be lessened, kind reader, to learn that
but a little while ago — aye, four generations only, agone — all this entire region was
unknown to civilization, constituting an unbroken forest, in undisputed possession of
fierce and vicious beasts of prey — the wolf, the bear, and panther! pastured by the
now almost extinct elk and buffalo! and peopled only by the aboriginal red man of
the forest — the Mingo or the Delaware!
Contemporaneous with, and amid this intense scene of reclamation, or trans-
formation, of "desert to garden" — of native grandeur to civilized magnificence —
that immediately preceded the birth, and continued during the infancy of our great
Republic, may be dated the origin, or foundation, of one of the most numerous and
influential families of Scotch-Irish descent iu the United States— the McNary family
of Pennsylvania!
DATE OF SETTLEMENT.
The names, and dates of entry, of the first white settlers to penetrate and
occupy this vast unsettled region — so intimately connected with the trials and priva-
tions of the early ancestors of this prominent Scotch-Irish family — have unfor
tunately been lost to succeeding generations! From the earliest "traditions" ob-
tainable, we learn that the well-known French explorer, La Salle, in A. D. 1670
entered this region from Canada, descending the Allegheny and Ohio rivers— fhe
La Belie Riviere of the early French geographers — as far South as the site of the
5 .' /
IS McNARY FAMILY
city of Louisville, Kentucky. Prom this early date, there is an uninterrupted gap
of 79 years in the history of this region, until, in A. D. 1749 we have an authentic
account of a French exploring expedition from Canada, led by Celoron tie Bienville,
who, with a detachment of 215 French soldiers, accompanied by a party of 55 In-
dians, descended the "La Belle Rieviere" from the headwater of the Allegheny to
the mouth of the Miami — by the course of which latter stream he returned to Canada!
The Celoron party landed at intervals to bury leaden tablets, especially prepared for
the expedition, proclaiming dominion over this entire region in the name of the
King of France! There were, at this date, no permanent white settlements vest
of the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania; but there may have been a few trading
posts established by fur-dealers, and the region traversed by "trapping" and -hunt-
ing" parties, who visited the different Indian tribes for exchange of commodities.
George Washington, accompanied by Christopher Gist and six others, pene-
trated this region A. D. 17o3 on a mission for the Governor of Virginia to the com-
mandant of the French, at Fort Le Boeuff— now French Creek, Pennsylvania. At this
date — four years after the Celoron expedition — we hear of a settlement at the mouth
of Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, by one John Frazer; and Christopher Gist, "Washing-
ton's friend and scout, has established a home near the location of Connellsviile,
Pennsylvania. The succeeding year — A. D. 17-34 — the French, under Contrecoeur.
came down in force from Canada, and established themselves at the "forks of the
Ohio," erecting a "fort," which they named "Duquesne" (now Pittsburg). Tue
French held possession of this disputed territory until General Forbes, in 173S, was
dispatched from Carlisle. Pennsylvania, with an army of 7.000 English and Colonial
troops to expel the invaders, and destroy the fortificatious they had erected — which
task was successfully accomplished November 2-3th of the same year (173S), forever
tending French dominion east of the Mississippi!
After the expulsion of the French, the razing of Fort Duquesne and the erec-
tion of the English "Fort Pitt" on its ruins, there were few, or no permanent
settlements made in this Western country until after the overthrow of Pontiac, and
Ithe ending of the great Indian uprising incited by the cunning wiles of this power-
ful chieftain — known in history as Pontiac 's War — which occurred in 1763. After
the subsidence of this great uprising against the whites, and when tranquility had.
in a measure, been restored, the country began gradually to be occupied by the
desultory immigration of the more restless and venturesome element from the eastern
slopes of the Alleghenies.
But it was some ten years later, or about 1773, that the Western country
began to be populated by the influx of that sturdy Scotch-Irish element from Eastern
Pennsylvania and from Virginia, that gave this region its well-earned reputation for
the probity, sobriety and moral stamina of its pioneer settlers. Concurrent with
the close of the Revolutionary conflict with the mother country, in A. D. 17m'. began
the great flood-tide of emigration to the Western wilderness, "beyond the Alle-
ganies;" and upon the crest of this wave came the ancestors of that uunvrous
and influential Scotch-Irish Clan— the subject of this brief narrative— the McNar?
Family!
INTRODUCTION 19
INTRODUCTION "TO THE HISTORY OF THE M'NARY FAMILY.
By Rev. W. P. McNary.
Some time after the Civil War I asked my grandmother to give me the his-
tory of the McXary family. She became greatly interested and gave me a pretty
full account of the older generations of the family, which I wrote down very eare-
fullv. I regret very much to say that that memorandum was lost. After her death
I mentioned the loss of the memorandum to Mr. William Martin, Canonsburg. Pa.
He told me to go and see his mother, that her maiden name was McXary and that
she was familiar with the whole family history. I went with him immediately to
call on his mother and she gave me a full and reliable account of the father of nil
of us and his five children. I wrote down her statement and read it over to her
for correction. I remember that it agreed substantially with the account given mc
by my grandmother. Taking her history, which was given from memory, for a basis
I undertook to verify her statements in every way possible. I wrote to the
Recorder of York County, Pennsylvania, for an abstract of all the deeds and wills
containing the McXary name in the records of that county. I also wrote to Brook
County, West Virginia, for similar facts and went in person to Washington. Penn-
sylvania, and examined the records there. I also wrote to the session of Guinston
congregation, of which our ancestors were members, for the session records con-
cerning them. I am glad to say that every item of information received con-
firmed the statement of Mrs. Martin and I am convinced that her history, although
given from memory, is substantially correct, and I am thankful that I was enabled
to write what I believe to be an authentic history of our branch of the McXary
family.
When I began to study this history I wa,s under the impression that all the
McXarys in this country belonged to the same connection. I clung to that theory
with great tenacity for a long time. I opened correspondence with four differenr
McXary families, one in Vermont, one in Kentucky, one in Tenuessee and one ic
Red Stone, Virginia, and tried very hard to find the connecting link between us
and these other families, but that missing link I was never able to find.
Finally when I was in Scotland in 1^7S I went to the state archives in
Edinburgh, where there is kept a complete record of all the births, baptisms and
marriages of the people of Scotland. There I found page after page of McXarys,
McXairys, McEnarys and McXairs. and I became convinced that these are differ-
ent spellings of the same name. They were a very prolific stock and you will see
from reading this history that in this respect our own McXary families are worthy
descendants of their Scotch ancestors. One thing is sure, the McXary family is
not in favor of "race suicide." If the history of the family could be written up
to date there would not be less than 2,000 names, descendants of James McXary.
of York County, Pennsylvania, and there are two other McXary families in the
L'nited States n.-arly as large, besides some scattering ones. To illustrate what I
mean by scattering ones I must tell you of a man I found in Princeton, Indiana, that
20
McXARY FAMILY
bore that name: He was as- black as a crow. He had been a slave in one of the
McXary families in Kentucky.
While speaking of the other McXary families in the United States T want to
give you a little history which is worth preserving for the sake of some one who
may some time make a more exhaustive research as to the origin t>f the family.
It is in the form of an extract from a letter by a William S. McXary in the ''Com-
mercial Bulletin,"' of Boston, which was sent to me by Mrs. Margaret Spencer, of
Colli us ville, Connecticut.
''I believe in one of the old rare volumes of our public library there is a
little information and an engraving of the family coat of arms. The latter I have
seen and will send you a copy. * * * As it now stands McXary means. 'Sol
of the King." In the old Celtic language Mac — Son, Xa — of the, Ry — King. Iu
Celtic it is written rig (pronounced re), French — roi, Spanish — rey. Italian — re,
Latin — rex regis. The original form was McEnarig (pronounced McEnary), which
meant King's sou or crowned prince. The name has been Anglicized into McXary.
McXairy, McEnary, McHenery and McXair. The last two forms I am somewhat
doubtful about. This I gather from an old Celtic scholar. He told me the family
was Irish in origin and was descended directly from one of the sons of King Byron
Boru, who was killed at the battle of Clontarf, when the Danish invaders were final I y
driven out of Ireland. People of the name may be found in County Limerick,
Ireland. I understand there is a Castleton in that County, which town used to be
called Castletown-McXary. In it is an old ruined abbey and a castle which once
belonged to the family, and there is also a McXary burying ground.''
It would appear from this account that all the original McXarys were Irishmen.
but our ancestor and probably all the other McXary families lived many years iu
Scotland and are therefore veritable Scotch-Irish.
Xo doubt the original name was MacXary and the fact that many of out
ancestors could neither read nor spell accounts for the variety in the spelling, espe-
cially when the name passed through the Scotch and English dialects.
I have had correspondence with four different families, besides our own York
county family, that can trace no relation to each other.
First: The Vermont family.
Martin McXary. who was born in Grennoek, Scotland, in 1723 (about twelve
years younger than our ancestor James 1. came to this country before the Revolu-
tionary War. He was a soldier in the French war. He had a son who was a lad
and therefore must have been a widower, and he married a Mrs. Mahitible Blake,
a widow of a soldier of the French war. He was also a soldier of the Revolutionary
War and died in 1S09 in his s'">th year. Up was the ancestor of a large and in-
fluential family who live mostly in New England. One of the descendants is now in
Congress. Brigadier General William Henry McXary wa- Colonel of the Fifty-eighth
Xew York Volume rs during the war. I have sent several of my circulars to the
members of that family and have kept up correspondence with them.
Second: The Kentucky family.
A Mr. McXary who was nearly contemporary with James and Martin lived in
Kentucky before the Revolutionary War. He is said to have come from Scotland.
INTRODUCTION 21
He had five sons and tw« daughters who were raised in Muhlenburg County, Ken-
tucky. A postoffice in that county is named for the family. They are Presbyterian
people and appear to be prominent in the community. I got my information from
Dr. H. F. MeXary, of Princeton, Kentucky.
It was no doubt from that family that our colored brother got his name,
as Princeton, Indiana, is only a short distance from MeXary postoffice, Kentucky.
Third: Tennessee family.
Six brothers by the name of McXairy lived in Tennessee from the year ITS".
The eldest of the six, John, was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, March
30th, 1762, and was elected Judge of the Superior Court of North Carolina by
the General Assembly of that State on December 20th, 17S7. Later he was ap-
pointed by George Washington Territorial Judge of the territory south of the Ohio
river and held that office until the territory became a Stare, when he was by the
Assembly appointed Judge of the Superior Court of the State of Tennessee. He
was later appointed by George Washington District Judge of the Courts of East
and West Tennessee and held that office until his death on November 10th, 1S37,
a period of 40 years in all. A county and a town in Tennessee were named for
him and his brothers. There is quite a large connection of the descendants of
these six brothers, and although they spell their name with an "i" they always
regarded their name the same as that of the MeXarys of Kentucky.
Fourth: Virginia family.
William MeXary, of Red Stone, Old Fort, Virginia (now Brownsville, Pa.),
was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. One of his grandsons. Forest McNary, is
now living at Green Castle, Indiana, and takes an iuterest in the history of the
MeXary family. (See Supplement.)
With reference to all these separate families we may say that they appear
in America about the same time, they all have the same characteristics, they are
generally upright, substantial Scotch and Irish Presbyterians. They have the same
physical characteristics and no doubt originated from the same old Celtic stock.
Di.'ir relationship, while it may never be traced, may be taken for granted, and
"ii'ir history incorporated into one family record.

THE FAMILY OF JAMES M'NARY.
1. — James McNary (1), the father of us all, was born in Scotland about the
vear 1711. He was a man of medium size, spoke with a broad Scotch brogue and
was a shoemaker by trade. The traditions of his family say that he was born in
Scotland, that he lived a short time in Ireland and came to America with his
family some time prior to 1760 and settled in Chanceford Township, York County,
Pennsylvania. In the year 17(30 he bought a tract of land from Samuel Esson for
three pounds ten shillings. Again in 1 7*34 he bought another farm from Robert
MeCall 'for forty-two pounds ten shillings. He had four sons and one daughter,
John, James, Thomas, David and Jane — the daughter married a Mr. Robinson in
York County, and as far as we know remained there all her life. Later in life he
deeded part of his land to his son John and part to his son James. He and his
sou John were elected elders in Guinston congregation on the same day, May loth,
17i39. It is worthy of remark that all of his four sons were elected elders in the
Associate Church, two of them in the old Chartiers congregation.
In the year 17^3 he removed with his youngest son. David, to Hanover Town-
ship, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he died at the age of So and was
buried at Harmons Creek (now called Service) graveyard. His granddaughter. Mrs.
Martin, who gave me the data for this early history, said she remembered dis-
tinctly being at his funeral and seeing the coffin lowered in the grave, although she
was only six years old at the time. She kept his family Bible and it was in the
possession of her son, William Martin, after her death, who gave it to me on No-
vember 24th, 1901. It is now deposited in the vault of the Citizens Trust Company
at ('anonsburg. Pennsylvania.

GENEALOGY OF THE JOHN M'NARY BRANCH OF THE JAMES M'NARY
FAMILY.
Inasmuch as this is a history as well as a genealogy we will endeavor to
bring out the dim and misty legends of the older generations and get all possible
items of interest on record before it is too late. One of the objects of this geneal-
ogy is to create an interest which will stimulate the members to dig up all the old
records that are available and as far as possible fill out the missing items in the
history of the older generations.
2. — John McNary (2), son of .James, of York County. Pennsylvania, was born
about the year 1738, probably in Scotland, and came to this country with his
father's family. The first we know of him he was elected an elder in the Associate
Church of Guinston on May loth. 1769. He lived on the old horn-stead in Chanee-
ford Township, in York County. Pennsylvania, in a log house, weather-boarded and
painted red. on a farm containing 340 acres, which he bought from his father.
He was a prominent member of the Guinston Church until his death. We have
no record of his size or general appearance. He sold his York County farm in
1801 for twelve hundred pounds, came to Washington County. Pennsylvania, aid
bought the old McXary farm in Xorth Strabane Township. The farm was heavily
timbered and quite hilly, but it had a strong spring of clear, pure water pouring out
of the hillside which decided the location of the future home.. Xo doubt the line?
of that farm were blazed with the axe through the heavy timber, as was the custom
in those early days. Having secured a future home for his fmily he returned to
bring them out in the following spring. But that was not to be. for he died "n the
10th or 17th of the folowing March — 1S02. The will was made and signed on the
loth, and probated on the 19th.
Joseph Reed and his son. John McXary, were made executors and as the}
lived t i.i rtL-.-n miles f*n>m the eouuty seat the funeral could not have been later Ciiati
the ISta, although the date of his death is not recorded. A tombstone was ere--. il
to his memory in 18^9 by Oliver R.. James S., John C. and W. P. McXary in tl
Guinston graveyard.
He married Esther Boyle, who died a few years before him, some time b
tween 1793 and 1799. Bv her he had thirteen children. Betsy, Mary. Margaret,
30 McNARY FAMILY
.Tamos, Malcolm, Esther, Kaney, John. Thomas. Alexander, Thomas, .lane and Janet,
all of ivhoni lived to be married except the two sons whose names were Thomas,
both of whom died in their youth. Nine of the living children we believe came to
Washington County together in 1802, James having come three years before and
Betsy having married and remained in York county. Of these eleven children we
have been enabled to get a pretty full account of the men and some of the women.
Of some of the women we know but very little.

X'ovember 2nd, 177G, in York County, Pennsylvania, and died February 11th, 1844,
He was the oldest son at home at the time of his father's death and was executor of
his father's will. He settled up his father's estate and brought the family to the
new home in Washington County in 1S02. He afterwards bought the farm and
it remained in the possession of his children until the death of his son, James, in
1902, which was just 100 years. He was a man of medium height, rather slender,
with high forehead, wore small side whiskers and had steel gray hair at the time
of his death. He was ordained as an elder in the Chartiers Associate Church
June 18th, 1810. It is worthy of remark that his father, his grandfather, his son
and his grandson were elders in the same denomination, making a line of elders
for five generations and it is to be hoped that the next generation will keep up the
record. He married Jean Hill (who was born in 1780 and died January 11th, 1867),
who survived him for many years. She was a woman of extraordinary character,
of strong will, strong mind and strong constitution. She was famed for her hos-
pitality and for her kind and jovial spirit in her old age. Her grandchildren have
no more pleasant memories than that of their visits to their Grandmother MeXary's
home. In about twelve years after John McXary came to the old farm he built
a large brk-k house on the hillside with high front porch and a commodious spring
house. These, with pc^ar trees, locust trees and the Lombardy poplar in the front
yard and a large orchard on the hill above form a picture which we will keep in
memory while memory lasts. These parents had nine children, William Hill, John,
James S.; Clarkson $., Oliver R., Esther, Jane, Alexander C. and Abbie Caroline.

Death of Mrs. Cora Davis
The death of Mrs. Cora (Ashby)
Davis in Chicago, came as a surprise
to many of her friends here. Mrs.
DaviB. known in Ladoga as Cora Ash
by. grew up in Ladoga. She received
her education in the schools of this
community and her passing removes
the last of the family of Silas F. and
Ellen Ashbv. Eugene died in 1932,
and Edgar five months ago.
Mrs. Davis was born on the Ashby
farm couth east of Ladoga, Septem-
ber 12, 1S61 The family moved to
Ladoga about 1880 and for many years
occupied the home on the lot on Main
Street cow known as the Edgar Asbby
residence. She married Henry T.
Davis December 13, 1887. Mr. Dav-
is was a salesman and for several
years Mrs. Davis accompanied her
husband on his business travels. In
1895 they settled in Chicago, and un-
til his death March 21. 1918 Mr. Davis
v. as engaged in the real estate and in
Burance business id Chicago and .its
suburbs. Mrs Davis died at the
home of her daughter. Mrs. Merrill
Johns, 7022 Constance Avenue, May
23, 1938. The funeral service, last
Tuesday May 31, were in charge of
Rev. Harold L. Bowman at the First
Presbyterian Church.
Mrs. Davis died of a heart affec-
tion brought on, largely by the ehock
of the sudden death of her brother.
Edgar, last December.
She leaves two children, Mrs Ellen
Johns and Harold A. Davis, and five
grandchildren, Janet Johns. Warren
and Merrill B. Johns Jr., DoDna and
Allyn Davis, and two great grand
children, Judith and Joan Warren, ail
of Chicago.
Cora Ashby DaviB was one of the
popular girls of that period, in La-
doga when the Normal School brought
so°many interesting young folks into
this community. Those who rememb- r
her will recall her large eyes, like her
mothers, and her quiet refined and
somewhat queenly manners, which
stayed with her in later years.
It was expected that she would
spend part of this summer here in her
girlhood home among the friends of
her youth, but all of the Aehby chil
riren had a strong affection and sym
patby for each other, and Cora was
never able to recover fully from the
loss of her younger brother. Edgar.

GENEALOGY OF THE THOMAS M'NAKY BEANCH.
In taking up this part of the genealogical history,— the Thomas McXary
Branch,— we have experienced much difficulty in obtaining accurate and reliable
dates of some of our early ancestry, but on the whole, we feel the record
can be relied "upon as correct.
2. Thomas McNary (2), son of James, the Scottish pioneer, was born on bia
father's farm in Chanceford Township. York County. Pennsylvania. The date of
his birth, we cannot be absolutely certain of, but believe it to have been about 1744.
He was married in 1766 to Jennet Robinson in York County, who was born in 1747.
We find, by consulting "Spangler's History and Sketches of York County Familes,"
that Thomas McXary was a volunteer in the Revolutionary War. and captain of
the Fourth Company of the Fourth Battalion of the "Flying Camp"' in 1776, which
inarched to New Jersey and took part in the Battle of Trenton. Also that one David
McXary, brother of Thomas, was a private in this same company commanded by
Captain Thomas McXary. It may be a matter of interest to know that David Mc-
Kinlev, grandfather of President William McKinley. was a member of this battalion.
In December, 17S2. this same Thomas McXary. following the line of emigra-
tion westward, purchased a farm in what is now Xorth Strabane Township, Wash-
ington County. Pennsylvania, of James Allison.— 250 acres of land for -'375 pounds
specie, lawful money of Pennsylvania.'' situated on the forks of Shirtee Creek on
Sugar Tree Run. bounded by lands of Dorce Penticost, and to a line of said tract
run by Henry Taler (Henry Taylor) and lands of John McDall (McDowel). For
this tract he received a warrant dated October 29th. 17S4. and on the 21st of Feb-
ruary, 1735, it was surveyed to him as "Sugar Tree'" and contained 219 acres. This
farm was inherited by his son, Matthew, and continued his until his death, when
it passed into the possession of John Struthers, and is now owned by Henry
Mollenauer.
Thomas McXary was "a large, fine-looking man" of a robust physique suited
to the requirements of pioneer life, such as he was afterwards called on to
endure. His church connection was in the Chartiers Seceder or Associate Congrega-
tion. Canonsburg, of which he was ordained an elder some time prior to 1799. He
continued to reside on his farm until his death, which occurred in 1S20, aged about
75 years. His body was interred in what is now known as Oak Spring Cemetery,
Canonsburg. In his will he makes provision for the legal freedom of a servant,
"Jean Parkinson," who had been practically free for many years before this time.
This same Thomas McXary, of Washington County, son of James, of York
County, had six children, five sons anil one daughter — James, David, Matthew, Joseph
and Samuel.

THE DAVID BRANCH OF THE McNARY FAMILY
By J. R. McNary, Corresponding Secretary McNary Association, Burgettstown, Pa.*
THE EMIGRATION OF DAVID McNARY TO THE LAND OF PROMISE.
"For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a gooil land."
1. — James McNary (1) (see at beginning of John Branch).
2. — David McNary (,2). of Chanceford Township, York County, Pennsylvania,
bought a farm in Hanover Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania in A. D.
1783 for "75 pounds lawful money of Pennsylvania." The deed for this land is
recorded in Washington County, Pennsylvania, although there is some doubt whether
his residence was not over the State line, in Brooke County, West Virginia. Born
in A. D. 1757, three years prior to his father — James MeXary, the original ancestor —
locating upon the "MeXary" homestead in Chaneeford Township, York County.
Pennsylvania, it is quite probable that David, the fourth and youngest son, was bora
in America. In person, David was a large man and of a "sandy" complexion. His
wife's maiden name was Esther Cowden — no doubt a sister, or near relative, of the
ancestor of the Cowden family, who located upon a part of -the "George Washingtcn
tract," in Mt. rieasant Township, Washington County, at an early day. David Me-
Xary died A. D. 1 S 1 7 . His will is on record at Washington, Pennsylvania. His
son William and John Cowden — no doubt a brother-iu-law — are named executors; and
of his estate he bequeaths the one-eighth each to his wife, Esther, and to William,
Margaret, wife of John Ramsey; Sarah, Mary, wife of Samuel Martin; Elizabeth,
Esther and Jane, his seven children. Some doubt exists as to the place of burial of
David, and of his venerable father, James — the "original ancestor." William Me-
Xary, the only son of David, together with his immediate descendants, are interred
in the old graveyard at or near Paris, Washington County, Pennsylvania; but the
final resting place of the "pioneer" David anil of his aged father is not certainly
or definitely located — the imperfect markings of all graves of that early date being
*There being no descendant of David MeXary known to the' publication com-
mittee to whom to apply for a compilation and history of the descendants of David,
the youngest of the MeXary quartet, the writer reluctantly accepted the task, and
herewith presents as full and complete a record of this branch, as now seems pos-
sible, from the meager data available, after the lapse of a century from the days
of the "pioneer" David: For the inaccuracies and imperfections. — either of omis-
sion or commission, — in the performance of his labor, the writer begs of the read'-r
his kind indulgence. J. R. M.
H2 McNARY FAMILY
now illegible. While it is possible that their remains are interred in the old Paris,
or Harmon 's Creek, Cemetery, where many of the succeediag generations lie, yet
it is quite probable that the remains of "Old James,'- of his pioneer sun David, and
of David's wife— Esther Cowden— are at rest in the ancient cemetery, or burying
place, of the old Seceder Congregation, known as "The Tent," in pioneer days-
located some five miles south or southwest of Paris, Pennsylvania, but within the
West Virginia border— which seems to have been the earliest burial place established
in the Holliday's Cove region. David McNary was an elder in the old Dr. Anderson's
Harmon's Creek congregation, under whose teachings hi* family were reared, and
the principles, or doctrines of Calvanism instilled, which left its impress upon the
succeeding generations and lent to the pioneer settlers of Western Pennsylvania a
reputation for moral and religious probity second to no other region of our countrv.
At the date of the location and settlement of David McXary upon the waters
of Harmon's Creek in 17S3, the condition of all the region westward of the Monon-
gahela Kiver was most serious; Indian raids, or incursions of the savage tribes
from west of the Ohio River upon the unprotected settlers were frequent, and a con-
tinuous menace to the pioneers of the northwestern portions of Washington County —
being on the extreme boundary of the advance line of civilization! For some tune
prior to this date, an "outpost," or "military station," had been maintained at
Holliday's Cove, on Harmon's Creek, near the outlet to the Ohio, and garrisoned
by a detachment of Colonial "militia," or "minute" men, whose duty it was to
look after the safety of the early settlers. The earlier settlements were alwavs
made under the protection and in the vicinity of these frontier "outposts;" hence
it was that frequent settlements, including but a few families, in exposed localities,
were made miles in advance, leaving' much of the wilderness to the rear, unclaimed
and unoccupied. In A. D. 17S3 large tracts of Washington and Beaver Counties
were yet unsettled, unsurveyed and unclaimed under the patent laws of the State;
and all of the country to the west and north of the Ohio River, was yet an unbroken
forest in possession of the native Indian tribes of the northwest.
By what means of transportation, or by what route over the Allegheny Moun-
tains, David McXary, accompanied by his aged father, reached the scene of his new
abode upon the western borders of civilization, must now be a matter of conjecture!
We know that at this time no "highways" had been cut through the dense and
heavily timbered forest westward from the Monongahela to the Ohio: There existed
the old "Indian" or "Mingo" trail, which traversed this region, from Fort Dit-
quesne, at the "forks of the Ohio" (Pittsburg) to the "Mingo Bottoms" on the
Ohio River, below Steubenville— passing nearby Holliday's Cove, on Harmon's
Creek. If David McXary and his father crossed the Alleghenies by the military road
opened by General Forbes in his march over the mountains to capture and destroy
Fort Duquesn.-, in 1758, lie probably reached his new home from Pittsburg over the
"Mingo" trail, via Robinson's Run and Cherry Valley, crossing Raccoon Creek and
valley at the fair grounds, Burgettstown; thence, by Harmon's Creek, to the
military "outpost" in the near vicinity of his chosen home, in the new settlement
DAVID BRANCH 143
on the eastern banks of the Ohio. But, as his brothers — James, in 17S0, ant]
Thomas, in 17S2 — hail preeeded David to the "promised land" beyond the moun-
tains, and had already settled in the Chartiers region of Washington County — tLe
"Shirtee" of pioneer days — it would seem that these brothers probably crossed the
mountains via Raystown (Bedford) and. by the "Cumberland"' road, to "Redstone
Old Fort'' (now Brownsville), on the Monongahela; whence, crossing this stream,
they would be within one day's journey of their destination upon Chartier's Creek.
At this early day the emigration over the mountains, from Eastern Pennsylvania,
was by either the one or the other of these routes; and the latter, or southern
route, seems to have been the popular one from the frontier "outposts" back to
the older settlements in the East, from whence all needed supplies were obtained.
Conceding, then, that the preceding brothers — James and Thomas — had come West
over the southern or "Raystown" road to "Redstone Old Fort," or Brownsville, on
the Monongahela — what more natural than that father and brother should have
been "admonished" to "journey through the wilderness" by the same route?
Once at "Redstone Old Fort." father and son would have the benefit of water
transportation (by flat boat) down the Monongahela and the Ohio Rivers to locate
under the protection of the garrison at Holliday's Cove — thus saving a troublesome
and unsafe journey through the wilderness of the interior.
While the history of the hardships and privations encountered and overcome
by these brave and and intrepid ancestors, in reaching and establishing new homes
in this "wilderness of promise" is now lost to succeeding generations, their de-
scendants are fortunate in possessing the absolute knowledge that when James Mc-
Nary and his youngest son. David, had, in 1783, established a home on the waters
of Harmon's Creek, in Washington County, Pennsylvania, that all of the "McNary
Family," viz., the veuerable James McNary, the "founder;" James, his second
son, in 1780; Thomas, the third son, in 1782; and now David, the fourth son.
in 1783 — with their families — were all permanently established west of the Alie-
ghenies — save only the eldest son, John, alone of the McNary quartet yet remain-
ing upon the homestead at Chanceford, Pennsylvania — where they reared large
families, under all the trials and privations incident to a pioneer life; and subject
to the additional menace of numerous Indian incursions from the hostile tribes beyond
the Ohio, and of the upper lake regions; and that John McNary, the oldest sou,
before his demise in 1802, also provided a home for his family in the "new country"
adjacent to the homes of his brothers — James and Thomas — on the waters of
"Shirtee;" whence his family, after his death, all removed. And the advent of
the nineteenth century thus witnessed a "reunion" of the McNary ancestry in a
region destined soon to become the scene of the greatest agricultural and industrial
activity on the face of the globe! In a "goodly" region, of wh:ch it might well
be said to them, as to God's chosen people of old, "For the Lord thy God bringeth
thee into a good land; a lar.d of brooks of water, of fountains, and of depths that
spring out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley and vines; a land of
oil, olive and honey; a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness,
thou shalt not lack anything therein "—almost a literal description of Washington
144 McNARV FAMILY
County, Pennsylvania, and thou not nearly all is told!
Amid such scenes, "in trial an:l privations many, " were the pioneer ancestors
of the "MeXary" Clan domiciled in this "goodly"' laud. Be it ever the aim and
ambition of their descendants to emulate the virtues and veuerate the memory of
their worthy ancestors, to the most remote generations! And especially is it a
matter of congratulation to their descendants of the present day, that their ancestors
had neither part nor parcel in the unenviable "Williamson Expedition" from this
roginn, in A. D. 17S2, that encompassed the brutal massacre of the "Moravian"
Indians at Graudenhutten, — thereby placing an indelible stain upon the fair fame,
not only of this region, but of the Scotch-Irish race as well! And a still further
source of satisfaction have this numerous clan, in the knowledge that their ancestors
were at the post of duty in the Revolutionary conflict, fighting iu the cause of
freedom, and not fleeing — as did not a few — behind the Alleghenies, to shun a
patriot's duty to his country in its hour of need!
The noble deeds our sires have done,
The mighty conflicts they have won —
In memory's hall, we store them all;
And fain accord, with due delight.
All rev'rence to the memory bright
Of all who honored Freedom's call!

NOTE.
The writer regrets the extremely meager knowledge now obtainable and
here presentel, of the names and location of the descendants of the daughters of
David McNary; caused largely, no doubt, from the fact that David's home was
farther removed from his kindred than any of his brothers' locations; and also
from the early dispersion of his daughters to homes of their own, in locations
remote from their kinsfolk of the "McNary" name. The descendants of his
daughter Mary — Mrs. Samuel Martin ('See No. 11) — are also descended from the
"John McNary" branch of the family, and are enumerated therein.
For traie of David McNary 's other descendants we are compelled to look
almost exclusively to the line of descent of his only son, William. No. 2o; and. of
the descendants of this William's nine children, we are again confined chiefly to
DAVID BRANCH
149
the line of his son William. No. 44 — grandson of David— to continue the branch to
the present generation.
Descendants of Ebenezer MeXary, Xo. 43, son of William, are known to
reside in Missouri, and other parts of the West, trace of whom, we regret to say, is
not now available fur this publication. There are, also, "McXarys" in the States
of Indiana and Illinois who seem to trace their ancestry to Robert MeXary, Xo. 35,
son of William, of whose descendants we have no knowledge — but who was last
heard of in the Coshocton. Ohio, region. Of the descendants of the children of
William MeXary, Xo. 2o. other than of his youngest son, William, Xo. 44 — herewith
given — the writer has. unfortunately, no trace. If all who know themselves to he
descendants of the "David'' branch of the MeXary family will make such fact
known to the Secretary of the MeXary Association, a note of such relationship
will be placed on file, from which a revised record of this branch may be compile 1
for future publication.

Martin McNarv Family
MARTIN McNARY FAMILY
( Copied from Book published by Rev. \V. P. McNary
The head of this family was born at Greenock, Scotland. His father,
whose name, according to tradition, was David, went with a wealthy gentle-
man to Dungarvon, Ireland, as a land steward, and there died. His widow
returned to Greenock, with all the family except ]\Iartin, who remained with
their employer. He afterwards went to sea as a cabin boy, was captured and
held prisoner for a while by some hostile nation, and finally came to America.
Here he served in the French war, and came to Haddam, Connecticut,
bringing a bundle of clothes, a watch, and a dying message from a man
whom he had nursed and buried, to his widow, Mrs. Mahitible Blake. This
widow he married some time before the Revolution, and from that time
until his death he lived in Haddam. He served in the Revolutionary war,
and the name on his Sergeant's certificate was "Kenary." His son James
always persisted in writing his name "Canary," but all his descendants now
write it McNary.
Martin had a brother. John, who v;sited him at Haddam before the
war, "but neither of them being clerkly the family correspondence was nut
kept up."
At the time of his marriage with Widow Blake, he had a son, MAR-
TIN, "a young lad" ('probably by a former marriage"), who settled in Litch-
field, Conn., and left a son George, whose descendants still live there.
This George got his wife at Fishkill. New York.
There was a Martin McNary, who came from Connecticut to Fishkill.
N. Y., and died there in 1S12, who in all probability was the same person.
We will so consider him. and give his genealogy in this connection.
The Elder MARTIN was a Catholic, supposed to have become so
under the influence of his Foster Father in Ireland. He was "truth-
ful, the soul of honor, anxious to have his children early baptized and
taught Christian doctrine." "His wife was of Puritan stock, a near rela-
tive of the Missionary. David Brainard, but being early orphaned, was
brought up in the Church of England." The children all followed^ the
mother instead of the father in their religion. The whole family is said to
be of a mechanical turn of mind.
MARTIN, of Haddam, Conn., had ten children.
MARTIN. Fishkill, New York, (formerly of Litchfield, Conn.,) married
Kate Snider, was a soldier of the Revolution, a blacksmith by trade,
and died in 1812.

Kentucky Family
THE KENTUCKY FAMILY
( Copied from Book Published by Rev. \V. P. McN'ary
The head of the Kentucky family of McXarys is supposed to have
come from Scotland, some time previous to the Revolution, and to have
settled either in Xew Jersey or Pennsylvania.
His eldest son was born in 1755. but whether in this country or in
Scotland is uncertain. From the date of the birth of his eldest son it
would appear that he was about the right age to be a brother of JAMES,
of York county. Pa., or MARTIN, of Haddam. Conn., and it is possible
that he was the JOHN referred to previously. According to the tra-
ditions of the family, he moved to North Carolina in his old age. He
had five sons and two daughters.

nut Hill, seven miles from Lexington. Ky.. some time previ is

bell, a Scotch lady. He and his wife were both ••earnest and de-
voted members" of the Walnut Hill Presbyterian Church, ne
the oldest churches in that country, the grounds of which adjoined
their farm. In the year 18 12. he removed to a farm in Muhlenburg
countv. near Eiwood. which was formerly called McNary Post
Office. He died in the year 1813. and was buried on bis estate.

KENTUCKY FAMILY 175
THE McNAlRY FAMILY
(Copied from Book Published by Rev. W. P. McNary.)
It is generally believed by the McNarys of Kentucky, and the Mc-
«'airys of Tennessee, that their families were originally one, and that
ie i did not originally belong to the name of the latter family, and
lerefore we give a brief sketch of it, as part of this history:
JOHN McNAIRY, the eldest of six brothers, was born the 30th of
March, 1762, in Lancaster county. State of Pennsylvania, and on
the 20th day of December, 1787, was elected a Judge by the Gen-
eral Assembly of North Carolina and held the first Superior Court
that was held in Nashville, in the County of Davidson. He con-
tinued in office until what is now called the State of Tennessee, by
the Cession act. became the Territory South of the Ohio River. He
was then appointed, by George Washington, then President, one
of the Territorial Judges, and held that office until the Territory
became the State of Tennessee, and was then appointed, by the
General Assembly, one of the Judges of the Superior Coir. t of that
State, and held that office until he was appointed, by the then
President Washington, District Judge of the Courts of East and
West Tennessee. Having been in office without intermission for
forty-six years, he died on the 10th day of November, 1837, at his
residence near Nashville, Tennessee." He had no children.
OBERT, lived in North Carolina, but his descendants settled in Ala-
bama and Mississippi.
\MES, lived in North Carolina, but his descendants settled in Alabama
and Mississippi.
ATHANIEL, was a Lawyer in Nashville, Tennessee. He had eight
children, all of whom are now dead except a widowed daughter,
Mrs. Amanda J. Porter.
NDREW, lived in Nashville, Tennessee, died without children.
OYD, a Physician, lived in Nashville, Tennessee. He had four chil-
dren one of whom is Dr. Walter McNairy, living in the Naval De-
partment, Washington, D. C.
