General Notes: Husband - Enoch McCreary


He went to the front in the War of 1812.

He received his education in the customary manner, chiefly in the winter months, in Neshannock township Mercer (later Lawrence) County, Pennsylvania, and became a farmer at an early age; this occupation he steadfastly followed all the period of his life in Hickory township on the farm later owned by George Young. Politically, he was first a Whig and then a Republican. They were Methodists in their views on matters of a religious nature. [BOBLC, 572]

He and his wife settled on the a farm in Hickory Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, in 1800, when it was only a wild tract of forest. They cleared up the land and spent their lives there. They had ten children born to them, six daughters and four sons. [TCHNCLC, 997] This appears to be confusion between this person and his father.
