It is unclear that these records are of the same person.

They may not have been Mccrcrys. Only the records for

Joseph performing marri ages tines the McCrory spelling.

The only other known link is the slight possibility this

F~detal land record in the Demopoi is Land Office indicaLe that:

Jnmph McCr~(n~)ry anql]lred land on 9/9/1836. The land was

in section22 Twnsp 13N Range 2W was locaLed in Washington

County, Alabama near the Sumter County line. After Choctaw

QrutiLy was created in 1847, the land became part of LltaL

County. The land is very near the community of Butler

(county seat for Choctaw County)

There is a census record (which has not been checked] in the

Alabama, 187€ census index for an 1~lizabetTh McCrory living

in Choctaw County, Alabama (Butler ~(-~Qt flffirr) This ruav

provide information concerning this family’s tie (if any) to

Lhe others.

This land is a roximately thirty miles east of Lhe area

where Eli McCrory lived and twenty miles northeast of lands

owned by Chapman L., William P., and Andrew J. Mc.Crory.

From Ganrund books on Alahama:

1) Cahaba Land Office record 435372, transaction date,

2/25/1840, 40 acre acqntsition in section 28 of Township SN, Range l2E

This land is in the same section, twnshp, and range as that

of Hugh Mcorory (of Lancaster, SC] in Butler County, AL.

The transaction date for Hugh acquisition is 2/24/1844.

2) St. Stephens Land Office record #13566, signaLure date of

These last two acquisitions are within a mile 01 ano owncu by William Patrick McCrory and within two miles of land owned by Chapman L. McCrory. These lands were very near Thomasville, Alabama in Clarke County. This provides ~~sonablc cvidonccof the close family rolrtinrship uI these three McCrory men, all of who were within seven years of being the same age.

The onl census record found for Andrew J. McCrory places him in Butler County, Alabama:

Tt is highly likely that William ~atric:k was a son of Hugh

McCrory (SC). His birth year would have been in 1024 or

1825. John NCCtwy ~CC) did not report in census rerzo plc

sons in age groups with birthdates after 1820.

Due to proximity of location and dates, there are several McCrciry tnrnn who might have descended from Lhi.s group. in searching for this prospects, several characteristics would have to be apparent: l)they would have been born between 1809 and the late 1820’s; 2)they would have to have settled in areas close to south central and western Mississippi; 3) they could not be tied closely tO me other Ncuiury residing in other areas of Alabama or Mississippi during this same time, and 41 they would not appear in any records (for these locations}prior to the early 1830’s.

The following list includes information about McCrory men who seem to meet the qualifications which might lead one to conclude these men are sons of either Thomas McCrory (of I~riü~ster ~ or Huuh Mccrorv (of Lancaster, SC).

As Thomas D4cCrory is listed in the 2>29 year old category

iii the Lancaster, SC census. It is reasonable to assume his

birthdate was either 1808 or 1810.

Further reference is made to Thomas in the Diclr ionary of

Alabama Biography (p. 1103). This work gives a brief

hiography of Jesse 0. Mccrory, a state legislator from

conecuh Counuy (adjdcuttt Lu the SW corner of Butler County)

and a resident of Bowles, At. Jesse was married on

10/28/1886 to Fannie U. Kyser (daughter of Ceorger Kyser)

Jesse is listed as the son of William M. McCrory and Mary

Elli (Wggrnn) MrGrnry. He was the grandson of Thomas McCrorv

and Wi lliam and Jane Wagnon. This provides substantiation

of Thomas NcCrory having son named William N. {who married

Mary Ella Wagtion) The biography also indicates that

William M. D4cCrory served in the Civil War, later resided in

Stallings (Butler County~ . William L’~. 1’icvfuty iz ~OCb1hly

the son of Thomas I4cCrory listed in the 2840 census as being

in the 0 to 5 age category. It is unclear why no mention is

made of the paternal grandmother of William M. Mccrory.

Eethaps, no name u~o available to thn .rnithnr.

The ~~ederai Land records indicate that Thomas acquired additional land in Butler county in the 1850’s:

The presence of the Vickrey’s is further established in the

1853 will of George Vickrey which named Thomas McCrory among

those listed for security. This provides further support

for Duke Vickrey’s beliefs about the Vickrey farLlily

relocation to HutiCr county in Ate 1830%. The 1790 ccnsu2

In addition to those children who moved with their families, as many as six adult sons (of Hugh and John) may have come to this part of Alaham~ a~ cingle adults or with families of their own. The seventh adult son was Thomas.

The 1850 Alabama Census provides no assistance in learning more about these Butler County NcCrorys. There are none listed in the index of the 1850 census. Sit ci e census was poorly indexed or these McCrorys were not included in the census survey.

The 1850 Alabama Mortality Schedule does tell us that John McCrory died in February, 1850 at the age of 61. He sutfered

Less tangible evidence is available about Hugh Mccrory.

During this same period other Mccrory families are found

living in the hale and Greene County areas. There are

possibly three hrotflers: is~iac, WiliidlLL, and thigh.

Offspring of these families included a Thomas and a John.

These families are reported (by research of Jim t4cCrory and

others) to have relocated from North Carolina to Alabama

bcfcro 1230. There ar~ snpar~te ¼nd records in the vicinty

of Hale and Greene to support this contention.

Additionally, census data contemporaneous to data for the

Butler courtLy NcCrorys, indicate these McCrorys are

distinctly ditterent set of families. While the Lancaster

Hugh, John, and Thomas appear in t e ancas er, ~ -

Alabama Census. No ties have been found which link the

families in Hale/Greene County with those in Butler County.

family migrated from Tennessee. In Tennessee, James was

living close to brotrmrs Hugh, John, and ihuw~S. They all

came to central Tennessee during the westward expansion of
