We are seeking males with the surname McCreary/McCrary/McCreery and other variants to join our project. If you have an interest in genealogy, DNA testing (especially the 67 marker test) is a great tool for helping you to focus your research on the group of McCrearys/McCrarys/McCreerys to whom you are actually related. If you are already certain of your pedigree, joining the project can be a tremendous help to those of your relatives who have hit a brick wall in their search for ancestors.

Note: It is easy to confuse this Matthew McCrary with Thomas/Letitia’s son Matthew also b. 1798 (above) who later migrated to Lawrence Co. AL.

There is no paper pedigree to support how the next listings relate to the above confirmed R-A5533; none of these men share the STR variants DYS391=10 or GataH4=10. This suggests they may be more closely related to each other than they are to the other confirmed R-A5533 men:

Margaret Files b. 1799 SC *(this has been verified by autosomal DNA testing; testee shares a common ancestor with a descendent of Levi and Margaret’s daughter Harriet) – According to the 1830 and 1840 census returns for Wayne Co. IL, Levi and Margaret had a son b. 1820-1830; the son was no longer living with them in 1850; there were other SC McCrearys/McCrarys living in or near Wayne Co. IL at the time including an Andrew McCreary for whom Levi acted as executor sometime in 1840. One of Andrew’s descendants is kit #901025 and is a close match at 37 markers.
