Re: John Cree--d 1824

kedavis4 — 2012-05-09 15:08:58Z

I saw your posting on the Ancestry Cree message board for more information on John Cree who died in 1824. Perhaps, you already have discovered it but the Cree Surname website at
www.cree.name has a bit of info on John Cree and his children.

You said you are descended from John Cree's daughter who married Robert McKee. I have been trying to prove a connection to Robert and Mary Cree McKee through their son, Thomas. Would you have any information on Thomas, who he married, and their children?

Thank you.

Re: John Cree -- Tasmania/NSW/Aus area

spathaky — 2012-02-26 11:59:12Z

Some years ago (early 1990s I think) I was in touch with David (born 1952) and Cindy Cree in Tasmania. David is a son of the Campbell Cree you mention (born 1918) and his wife Inez (Turner) Cree. Yes Campbell is a son of John Campbell Cree (1888-1961) and Irene Gladys Grimson (1895-1950) so it all matches, though I know nothing of the scandal. Please tell!

Their ancestry goes back to James Cree and Christian Graeme who were married in 1770 in Auchterarder, Perthshire, Scotland. James was a waucher. We also know Christian was a daughter of David Graham and Christian Carrick.

See www.cree.name/person.htm?id=2790 and work back in time clicking on the father (gold lettering) in each generation.

Thomas McKee

kedavis4 — 2011-06-18 17:49:59Z

Thomas McKee (b. 1744) in Scotland emigrated to Clearfield County, PA in the early 1800s. Two of his sons, James and Robert McKee, married Cree sisters -- Jane and Mary, respectively. Both James and Robert had sons named Thomas McKee. Both apparently lived in Clearfield County.

I am trying to find out who the children of these two Thomas McKees were. I do know that Thomas McKee, son of James McKee and Jane Cree, had at least one child, a daughter, Sarah, born in 1830 in Clearfield County. She married Abrahm Keagy Shoff and died in 1816. But, that is the only child I know of for him or for the other Thomas, son of Robert McKee and Mary Cree.

I have an ancestor, William McKee, who had a father named Thomas. William lived for a while in Beccaria Twp, Clearfield County, PA. I believe William McKee may have been descended from one of these two Thomas McKees.

Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Jean Hutchison Marshall (nee Cree) Perth, Scotland

creename — 2010-12-09 04:40:23Z

Hi Ros, The data we have agrees with what you have given. Of the other sisters (there were no brothers apart from William), I think Elizabeth Jackson Cree (b 1844) may have been the Elizabeth Cree who died aged 65 at Govan in 1909; I have no trace of her marriage. Eliza Imrie Cree (b 1846) may have married in 1871 at Tradeston, Glasgow. Margaret Young Cree (b 1848) probably married at Perth in 1866; she died in 1931 in Perth aged 83. Helen Imrie Cree (b 1849) died at Perth in 1861. You are probably aware that in Scotland married women continued to use their maiden surnames and their deaths were normally registered so. Please contact me if you have any further information. See http://www.cree.name and find the Contact page. Best Wishes, Mike Spathaky.

Searching for any information on Jean Hutchison Cree, b.1854 in Perth, Scotland, to William Orme Cree and Helen Couper Imrie. Of the couple's 6 children (that I can find) the only two who married were Jean and her younger brother William, my gg-grandfather. I think Jean married a George Marshall in 1881, in Milton and had a daughter, Helen J Marshall in 1883.

I will correct my record immediately and indicate that Mary Walker's father was John Walker instead of Alexander who was married to Mary McGuire. That information was given to me in 2006 by another researcher but I would assume Robert H. Cree's record is correct. Thanks for letting me know of this error.

In this thread passinthru413 has the father of Mary Walker as John Walker. This agrees with my information, which I believe came from Robert H Cree. On the other hand Carolyn Cree (creemarshall) has his name as Alexander Walker. Can someone please resolve this discrepancy and give an authoritative source for the correct name?

Re: Emma Robley and W. Cree

spathaky — 2010-02-25 04:16:21Z

Hi Lorraine and all Cree surname researchers!

Emma was the great niece of Samuel Walker Cree. Her grandfather was Alexander David Cree, a brother of Samuel. Samuel Cree and Mary Walker were her great grandparents

Emma's birth and death dates almost agree with those I have (I have her death date as 12 Nov 1942 - can someone check this?) She would have been about 17 years 4 months on 9 Feb 1911. Emma's parents were Wm David Cree and Emma Susan Robley - hence Emma (Robley) Cree.

I don't have information about her children. See http://www.cree.name/person.htm?id=5698 for all the data I have on this Cree line. I would appreciate scans of the photos for the web site - mike at cree dot name. See http://www.cree.name/person.htm?id=5461 for details of Samuel W Cree and his migration to Indiana.

I have a picture of Emma Cree Taylor. I have another of same picture with the date Feb 9, 1911 written across it. It has Emma Matilda Cree Taylor with the above date typed label at bottom, but Emma Robley Cree is written on the back. She appears to be about 18-20 years old. I also have a picture of a tombstone, very small ground level, that says MOTHER Emma C Taylor Sept 21, 1893 to Nov 12, 1942. Can any one tell me How this woman is related to Samuel Walker Cree who emigrated to Indiana c1850, son of Samuel Cree and Mary Walker?

O.K. Thanks anyhow. I know the cemetery they are buried in is thought of as "the Lutheran cemetery". I thought the McWilliams would be Presbyterian or maybe Methodist though. Actually though, I really don't have a clue. Thanks for the info.....I have more (after years of looking) than I thought I would. What a great site that "Cree" family name is.Thank you again....very, very much.

This information has left my mother's grandfather out of the list of Elliott Robley's children. His name was Marion Robley.

Elliott was my grandmother's (Leah Dell May Robley) grandfather. My grandmother was 14 years old when Elliott died.

Elliott's biography is in the Biographical Encycl. of the Juniata Valley, published 1897 on page 317.

1860 Census: Brady, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania: Elliott Robley, age 40; Susan, age 39; Mary, age 16; John, 14; Rebecca, 12; Marion, 10; Emma, 8; Samuel, 5; Martha, 3.

1870 Census: Pennsylvania, Huntingdon, Union Twp., age 50, Male, White, Born: NJ
Series M593, Roll 1349, Page 817
Elliott, 50; Susan, 49; Emma, 17; Samuel, 13; Martha, 11; Elliott, 9; could be Harry, 5.

1880 Census: Brady, Huntingdon, Pennsylvania: Elliott Robley, 60; Susannah, 59; Martha Robley, 21; Elliott Robley, (Jr.) 18; Harry, 15; William Himes, age 12.

Special Schedule--Surviving Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines, and Widows, etc.:
Elliott Robley, Ferrier, Company L, 19th Pennsylvania.

Special to the (Philadelphia) Inquirer, Dec. 21 (no year given): The case of Elliott Robley against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for damages at $50,000 which was on trial here during the entire week, is yet unfinished. During the June flood Mr. Robley lost his house, barn, and stock and the greater portion of his farm land by the raging waters. He alleges that the many arched railroad bridge spanning the river opposite his property dammed back the proper flow of water, causing the overflow and changing the current to his farm. The case is being bitterly contested and will not likely be concluded before Tuesday.

Robley's suit ended: The Court Orders a Verdict for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company: Special to the (Philadelphia) Inquirer. Huntingdon, Dec. 24. The case of Elliott Robley against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for $50,000 damages, which has been on trial here during the past two weeks, came to a sudden termination today by Judge Furst directing the jury to find for the defendant company. This was eventually withdrawn and a non-suit granted the plaintiff.

Gretchen847 — 2008-04-02 03:32:05Z

Thank you so much! The census just shows her as "Helen." My grandmother was their cousin (Emma McWilliams)...her mother died when Emma was about 5. Margaret's father Thomas was Emma's father, James McWilliams brother. After Emma's mother died (she had about 7 children ....only 3 survived)James took them to Illinois. They then started living (why??? I don't know) with a family in Illinois who later apparently kept the youngest brother (Curtis James) and went to Iowa and dropped my grandmother off at Iowa Childrens Home of which she lived there part of the time and then also lived temporarily with about 9 other families (probably doing child labor). She returned to Braddock when she was about 18 years of age to some relative (don't know who though). She died a few months before I was born. I thought this group of McWilliams would be the easiest of all mine to find. As it turns out....they are the hardest group. Do you have any idea what church they may have gone to in Braddock? Thanks again so very much.

According to the census report in 1920, she was BA 1901. Helen was 19 then, still living with Cree and Margaret and she worked as a clerk at Westinghouse. Ida was not living with them at that time. Ida was the sister (about a year older than Helen.) Unfortunately, I don't know who or if either one married.

Re: Chalmers Stanley Cree and Margaret J. McWilliams

Gretchen847 — 2008-04-02 02:51:17Z

She was born about a year after Ida. I don't know who either married nor do I know where they are buried. Unfortunately, I don't live in PA any longer, so I can't get out to the cemetery where Chalmers and Margaret and Margaret's parents and siblings are buried to see if they might be there. My grandmother , who is buried in Braddock Cemetery, would have been Margaret Cree's cousin. I know very little about the family. Seems like Margaret and her siblings all died fairly young. Her brother Wilbert had his left leg about 10 inches shorter than the right one...I have no idea why that was. I'm just trying to find out as much as I can about the family. If you go to Allegheny County Assessment home page and look at 908 Locust, North Braddock you can see where they lived at one point.

Sorry for your sad loss, I am Audrey Simmonds my Great Great Grandfather was Andrew Cree born 1831 Fifeshire Scotland his Father was Andrew Cree born 1790 Leven Fifeshire and his Mother was Janet McLeoad born Perthshire 1790. My Great Great Grandfather (Andrew Cree) had a son named William born 1868. I feel sure we are distant cousins. It would be really good if you could perhaps cross check with a few names to confirm our relationship.
My Great Grandmother was daughter of Andrew Cree(b.1831) she was named Isabella born Fifeshire in 1857 she married my Great Grandfather John Little and their Daughter Rose Ann my Grandmother died when my Mother was only 2years old in 1903, so because my Mother was adopted out it has been very difficult for me to find my roots, but things are starting to piece together now.

Hi,

Thanks for the information on Elliott Robley. I was cleaning out some old papers of my mother's today and found a letter from Hattie Cree to my grandmother dated Jan. 17, 1966--wasn't that something. All this paperwork has been here at my house for nearly 10 years and only today did I decide to sort through it and discovered the letter. Hattie was asking May about some genealogy information. (It had arrived just after my grandmother had died, so she never got to see the letter and Mom kept it.) She mentions her children and Emma's children in the letter.

Elliot Robley, whos illness from stomach trouble, has been frequently listed in these columns, died at his home in this place, last Friday evening April 1, 1898, at 6:45 o'clock. His illness was of several months duration and the nature of it was such as to make his death the result of slow starvation. Not withstanding his extreme suffering, he was cheerful unto the last and died in a happy mood.
Mr. Robley was born in Newark, New Jersey, May 17, 1820. His father was a brickmaker and Elliot learned the business. The family moved to Spruce Creek when he was a boy. Upon reaching manhood he went to Shirley Township and there engaged in the brick business. Relinquisking this he became a teamster at Bells' Furnace, and Matilda Furnace. While in Shirley Township he became acquainted with Miss Hannah Susan Clemens whom he married August 12, 1840. She survives him. To them were born eleven children-six sons and five daughters. One son died in infancy and the surviving children are: Mrs. Hannah Miller, of Steele, North Dakota; Mrs. Elisah Fields, of Duncansville, John K. of Altoona, Mrs. L.D. Himes, of Mapleton, Marion, of Union Township, Mrs. W.D. Cree, of Braddock, Samuel and MIss Mattie, of Mapleton, Elliot and Harry, of Altoona.
Mr. Robley engaged in farming on farms in the vicinty of Mill Creek about 1852 and in 1856 purchased the farm in Brady township on which he resided until his removal to Mapleton a few years ago. Here he again engaged in the brick business and burned the brick for the fine brick mansion house which was swept away by the flood of 1889 and for a number of other buildings in this vicinity. On the same property he enaged in the sand business and was one of the pioneers in that industry which has been so valuable to the people of Mapleton. He conducted the business in connection with farming for about eighteen years. In 1875 he erected the first grist mill at Mapleton. This was destroyed by fire on the morning of October 25, 1880. Mr. Robley built another mill on the site of the one destroyed and July 20, 1881 it was put into operation. This mill was also destroyed by fire on Sunday morning, May 10, 1891.
During the Civil War Mr. Robley served two years as a member of Company I, Nineteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry. He was a gallant soldier.
Mr. Robley united with the United Brethren Church more than half a century ago and he was an active member until ailments prevented his going in. Most of these years he had filled the position as class leader and hundreds were received from his lips the words of encouragement which urged them onto a better life. He organized the first Sunday school in this section in the old Corbin school that stood at the foot of Sideling Hill where the Smith Valley, Trough Creek and Mapleton Roads diverge. A series of meetings were held here and Mr. Robley prevailed upon the presiding elder who was journeying by to send them a preacher and Rev. **Master was sent to the work. This was the beginning of the United Brethren ministry in this section.
The old church was torn down in 1893 and the new church at the corner of Grant and Sherman street erected.
Mr. Robley was good citizen and a kind neighbor, a friend to those in need and a comfort to the ditressed.
The remains were interred Monday afternoon in the U.B. Cemetary, services being conducted in the U.B. Church by Rev. T.P. Orner, presiding elder, assisted by Revs. R.S. Woodward, Treverton, Campbel, Gilbert, of Mount Union, S.D. Wilson of Bellwood and Trimbath, of Shirleysburg. The large number of persons present attested the esteem in whcih Mr. Robley was held. The ITEM extends sympathy to the bereaved family and friends.
The family desire to express their gratitude to friends and neighbors for kindnessed rendered.

That would make us cousins, as Emma Matilda Cree and my grandmother, Leah Dell (May) Robley of Mapleton were first cousins.
