TAYLOR COUNTY, GA - BIOS McCrary, Bartley ***************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm *********************** This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Volunteers Bartley McCrary was born ca 1789. He married Rebecca McCrary (McCrany) in Baldwin County April 13, 1813. There are so many McCrary families in that same area, it is hard to figure out who their parents were. His will in Taylor County was made 7-10-1866 and probated 10-7-1867. Based on Census Records 1850 in Crawford County, we know they had the following children: 1.Wiley born 1811? He might be the son of another wife. Wiley married in Baldwin County Polly Colbert on Dec 24, 1820. He left a will in Taylor County, (7-15-1876 probate Sept 1876) with his brother LQC as Executor, and only mentions his niece, Mary Ella Bradford. Mary Ella was the daughter of Wiley's sister, Mary Ann who married Henry Bradford. Based on the 1870 census, Mary Ella would have been 21 at the time of this wil. 2. Aley born 1820. She married in Crawford County, Campbell Renfroe on July 26, 1841. They had two children Emma Caroline born in 1845 and George A. Renfroe born in 1847. She must have died shortly after this because the children are living with her parents in 1850 Crawford Census 3. Mary born in 1824. She married Henry Bradford in Crawford County on Feb 26, 1852. Henry's first wife was Emoline Brooks. Henry and Mary had two children: Mary Ella born in 1853 & Margaret Rebecca in 1855. Mary must have died by 1870, as these girls are living with their Aunt Louise McCrary Wilchar. 4. Lucious Quinnius Cincinnatus (known as L.Q.C.) was born in 1826 in Baldwin County. We have several wives... Talbot County marriage: McCRARY, Lucius Q.
