General Notes: Husband - George McCray


During his youth he remained at home and received a common school education. When manhood's state was reached, he purchased two farms of 100 acres each, one of which was a portion of the family homestead tract. But farming was not his chosen calling, and leaving that to the management of others, he followed lumbering, but always as a jobber. He was also a pilot on the Allegheny River, being considered by many to be the most expert pilot in that section. In politics he was a Democrat up to Lincoln's time, when he changed his views and died a strong Republican, having held many township offices.
