  • Name James MCCREAEY  [1
    • James McCready was probably born before 1720 and was included on a list of men who had settled on the Philipse Upper Patent ca. 1740, per statement of Timothy Shaw dated March 1767. He was taxed in South Precinct from June 1743 to "farm" 1755 and farm was on list until Feb. 1759.

      James McCready probably left Philipse Upper Patent and was noted on a road dedication in Rombout Precinct 11 Sept. 1769. The road began at James McCreddy's(sic) door, at a place called Shanandore...thence about due south along a footpath, across a brook into the inclosed lands now in possession of Epraim Bartlett, (etc). He later moved into the Beekman Precinct where he was taxed 1770-1773 'on the Way place". James McCready Sr. and Jr. were witnesses in a trail held in the court of Common Pleas in DC 14 Oct. 1784. Joshua Fine was suing Nathan Hyat and the McCreedys were plaintiff's witnesses for Fine.

      James McCready Sr. was inSaratoga Town, Albany Co., NY in 1790 at 2-0-4 and James McCready Jr. was in the same town. McCready Sr. apparently died between 1790 and 1800.

      (There is no proof that Charled McCrady was son of James) [1]
