^  -    >;  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

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.

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,

.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. 

2%. — Betsy  McNary  (3).  daughter  of  John  McNary.  of  York  County,  was 
born  July  22nd,  1765,  and  married  William   Douglas   in   York   County,   Pennsylvania. 

3. — Mary  McNary  (3)  was  born'October  26th,  1766,  and  married  James  Mc- 
Coy. Had  seven  children,  John,  James,  Esther,  William,  Elizabeth,  Mary  and  Mar- 
garet. 

4. — John  McCoy  (4)  died  young. 
5. — James  McCoy  (4")   married  Eliza  Trip. 
6. — Esther  McCoy  (4)   married  Samuel  Johnston. 
7. — William  McCoy   (4)    married  Martha  Chambers. 
S. — Elizabeth  McCoy  (4')    married   Andrew  Giffin. 
9. — Mary  McCoy  (4)    married  Samuel  Smith. 
10. — Margaret  McCoy  (4)   married  Hugh  Sloan. 

13. — James  McNary  (3).  oldest  son  of  the  head  of  the  "John"  branch,  was 
the  pioneer  of  the  family  to  locate  west  of  the  Allegheny  mountains.  .Tames  was 
born  in  York  County,  Pennsylvania.  November  11th.  1769.  On  October  22nd,  1S97, 
he  married  Margaret  Reed,  of  Chanceford.  York  County,  who  was  born  October  Sth. 
1772 — daughter  of  Colonel  Joseph  Peed,  of  the  Revolutionary  Army,  member  of  the 
State  Legislature  in  17S0,  who  introduced  the  measure  that  led  to  the  emancipa- 
tion of  the  slaves  of  Pennsylvania;  also  member  of  the  Continental  Congress, 
17S7-S8. 

This  same  Joseph  Reed  was  the  drawer  of  the  will,  and  one  of  the  ex- 
ecutors of  John  McNary  (2),  of  Chanceford.  York  County,  Pennsylvania  (the 
founder  of  this  branch  of  the  "McNary  family;"  and  who,  about  1779.  procured 
the  removal  of  Rev.  Joseph  Smith  and  family  to  the  Cross  Creek.  Pennsylvania, 
region;  the  said  Rev.  Smith  being  the  second  minister  to  locate  west  of  the 
Allegheny  mountains  in  Pennsylvania;  and  the  first  minister  to  locate  west  of 
Chartiers  Creek,  and  for  whom  Smith  Township  (Washington  County)  was  named 
at  the  date  of  its  organization,  July  loth,  1781.  For  this  service  of  transporting 
Rev.  Smith  and  family  over  the  Alleghenies.  to  be  stated  pastor  at  Cross  Creek, 
Pennsylvania,  Joseph  Reed  received  from  Col.  James  Marshall  (the  first  sheriff  of 
Washington  County)  a  tract  ■>£  190  acres  of  land  in  Cross  Creek  Township.  The 
wagon  used  in  the  removal  of  Rev.  Joseph  Smith  is  said  to  have  been  the  first 
"wheeled"  vehicle  to  cross  the  Allegheny  mountains — all  previous  transportation 
being  by  means  of  pack-horses. 

Early  in  the  spring  of  179S,  preceding  by  four  years  the  emigration  of 
the  other  members  of  his  father's  family,  James  McNary,  with  his  wife,  Margaret 
(Reed)  McNary,  crossed  the  Alleghenies  ami  located  upon  part  of  the  tract  of  land 
received  by  iiis  father-in-law  fro!)]  Col.  Marshall  for  the  transportation  of  Rev.

Pennsylvania, — which  was  ever  after  their  place  of  worship.  From  the  effects  of 
an  injury,  James  McNary  died  July  12th,  1S09,  in  his  fortieth  year  and  after  a  brief 
wedded  life  of  11  years.  His  remains  are  interred  at  Hickory,  Pennsylvania,  in 
the  United  Presbyterian  Cemetery.  His  faithful  wife  survived  her  husband,  as 
a  widow,  for  57  years,  dying  May  25th,  1866,  aged  94  years,  and  was  laid  to  rest  bv 
his   side  at   Hickory,  Pennsylvania.  » 

Margaret  McXary  was  a  woman  of  remarkable  memory,  tact,  and  intel- 
lectual vigor,  and  was  in  every  way  well  fitted  to  become  a  "Mother  in  Israel" 
in  the  successful  rearing  of  her  orphaned  family  amid  the  trials  and  privations 
incident  to  a  pioneer  life.  A  suitable  monument  has  been  raised  to  the  memorv

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.

education   in   the   subscription   schools  of    that   period.      He   was   married   March   7th,

When  the  Republican  party  was  organized  in  1856  he  became  an  ardent  supporter 
of  it.  In  1863,  when  our  State  was  invaded  by  the  army  of  the  rebellion,  he  was 
among  those  who  offered  their  services,  was  accepted,  and  served  until  the  exigency 
was  passed,  and  was  tlnn  discharged  by  the  State  authorities.  He  was  in  active 
duty  in  the  Township,  serving  frequently  in  some  office.  For  three  years  he  served 
as  County  Commissioner,  but  refused  to  allow  his  name  to  be  used  in  that  con- 
nection again.  Today  he  is  a  firm  believer  in  and  firm  supporter  of  the  principles 
of   the   Republican   party.

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

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

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

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

of  Indiana  and  Illinois  who  seem  to  trace  their  ancestry  to  Robert  MeXary,  Xo.  35,

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.

not  far  from  the  year  18 12.  died  Dec.  9.  1830.  and  was  buried  i:i  the 
family  burying  ground  of  his  brother  WILLIAM.     He  had   l    - 
sons.  Samuel.  Alexander  and  William,  who  went  South  and  \vh   se 
history  is  not  known,  and  one  daughter,  who  married  Mr.   L   gan 
and  died,  leaving  two  children. 

WILLIAM.  Muhlenburg  county.  Kentucky,  born  1757.  settled  at  Wal- 
nut Hill,  seven  miles  from  Lexington.  Ky..  some  time  previ  is 
1790.  at  which  place  all  his  children  were  born :  married  Ann  Camp- 
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. 

ALEXANDER,  personal  history  not  known. 

TWO  SONS,  are  supposed  to  have  lost  their  lives  in  the  Revolutionary 
war.  one  at  the  battle  of  Cow  Pens,  and  the  other  on  boar  I  i  a 
Prison  Ship,  in  Charleston  Harbor.

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-

partment, Washington,  D.  C.
