| 208 | Perry Alvin Scroggie was born in Onslow, Iowa on September 1, 1880, the second child of George Scroggie and Margaret Isabell Moncrief. He attended elementary and high school until 1896 when he quit school to help work the family farm after his mother died. In the 1910 census, Perry was listed as a farm laborer on his father's farm at the age of 29, while his brother James and sister Jessie had left the family farm by this time. Perry married Laura Jane Coburn on September 12, 1910 in Onslow, IA. They lived on a farm near his father's until March 15, 1915 when they moved Ruthton, Minnesota, Pipestone County. They had two children while living in Iowa, Donald William (b. 9/12/1912) and Dorothy Isabelle (b. 1/19/1915). The farm in Ruthton was a half section (320 acres) of raw land, no buildings, owned by Perry's uncle Charles R. Scroggie. They lived in a tent while the house and barn and other farm buildings were built. They lived on this farm for about six years, during which they had two more children - Charles Burton (b. 1/24/1917) and Blanch Katherine (b. 4/20/1919). About 1921, Uncle Charlie sold the farm and Perry bought a quarter section (160 acres) farm four miles northeast of Ruthton. The farm was located in Lincoln County and the mailing address and county seat was Tyler, MN. They lived on this farm until 1929, during which time their last child, George Perry was born (b. 1/10/1924). During these years, Perry owned and operated a threshing machine and every summer would thresh his own grain crops and also several neighbor's. This was sort of a co-op deal that farmers helped each other to get the crops harvested. During this period, Perry and Laura were members of the Ruthton Methodist Church in Ruthton. Perry sang in the choir and was on the board of the church. Perry sold the farm in 1929 and moved the family to Ruthton for about one year. He actually considered moving to the state of Washington and made a trip out there and stayed with his brother James. However, either the stock market crash that year and the ensuing depression or the lack of opportunities in Washington caused him to dismiss the idea. Instead, he bought livestock while in Ruthton in preparation for moving to another farm. They then rented a farm about 1 1/2 miles southeast of Ruthton, across the road from the John Coburn family, Laura's brother. The Scroggie and Coburn cousins grew up there together and have many pleasant memories (and photos) of family gatherings. When William Coburn (Laura's father) died in 1917, Perry and John Coburn traveled to South Dakota to return his body to Ruthton, MN for burial. Catherine (McBurney) Coburn returned with them and lived alternatively with the Coburns and Scroggie's until her death at the Scroggies home in 1936. In 1936, Perry bought a small forty acre farm on the edge of Ruthton. He worked this farm for ten years, until he sold it about 1946 and moved into the town of Ruthton. Perry died there on March 25, 1952 and is buried in the Ruthton cemetery 1/2 mile north of town. CBS & MCS 3/27/1997 NOTES FROM THE WYOMING JOURNAL, JONES COUNTY, IOWA ?

| 231 | Robert McCready was born in Scotland March 28, 1752. Sailed from White Haven, England, 3 May 1772. Landed in New York 29 July 1772. Engaged in farming in New Jersey in 1772. Taught school in York County, PA from 1773 to 1776. In 1776 he joined the Flying Camp from York County, PA before they crossed the Susquehanna River; marched to Philadelphia, then went by boat to Neward; marched to Princeton, N.J., where he heard a sermon in Princeton College. Marched from there to Newark, to Paulus Hook, a fortified point, now the heart of Jersey City. here they were in all some 5000 militia in the engagement with the British. British ships having almost destroyed the fort, the Colonials retreated to Bergen, N.J. Robert McCready was incapacitated and sent by wagon to Trnton Hospital. After he partially recovered he came to the Fort at Pittsburgh, PA. Here he was examined by "the first men of the place" and asked to teach but did not take the posisiton. On 1 January 1777 Robert bought a "land jobbers claim" upon a tract of land that is now Jefferson Township, Washington County, PA, then Augusta, Virginia. After he settled there, in addition to clearing and working his farm, he taught school at Wells Fort near his home. Soon after, he was elected a Justice of the Peace, which position he held for many years. That this was a very important office at the time may be seen from the fact that the office of Justice of the Peace was a judicial position conduction both civil and criminal courts. Robert married Anne Levine (born 15 April 1759 in Scotland and died 30 June 1836) in Cross Creek on 14 February 1779. They had eleven children.* Robert was active in establishing the Presbyterian Church on the border and was elected a ruling Elder in the Cross Creek Presbyterian Church in 1792. He was elected County Commissioner of Washington County, PA in 1797 and served as an adjutant in the Lisbon Campaign in the War of 1812. Robert McCready was a successful farmer, accumulating 1000 acres of land in Washington County, PA; 1000 acres of land in Richland and Ashland Counties, Ohio, and 380 acres in Hanover Township, Columbiana County, Ohio. A great deal of this land still remains in possession of his descendents. Robert died 10 August 1846 and was buried in Cross Creek Graveyard, Cross Creek, Washington, Co, PA (now the pan handle of W VA).* (The above was compiled by Robert J. McCready, M.D. and privately printed in Pittsburgh, PA in 1931 - except the two paragraphs marked *) Below is an excerpt from History of the Presbytery of Washington : including a brief account of the planting of the Presbyterian church in Western Pennsylvania and parts adjacent, with sketches of pioneer ministers and ruling elders : also sketches of later ministers and ruling elders published in 1889. Robert McCready, Esq., was born in Scotland in 1752. He came to America in 1772, and taught school in York County, Pa.; went out with a company of volunteers from Harford County, Md., and served his country in the War of the Revolution. From the hospital at Trenton, N. J., he returned to York County, and thence to Pittsburgh, and joined a company of friends on Montours Run. He came to Cross Creek about 1777. He and two companions held meetings at their homes, and were soon joined by other neighbors; and this is known as the Irish Ridge Society in the history of the congregation. He was elected an elder near the close of the pastorate of Rev. Joseph Smith. Mr. McCready was noted for his piety, benevolence and eminent Christian life. He was powerful in prayer, and is spoken of as " the praying McCready." In the minutes of session we find this record : " He descended to the grave loved, respected and lamented by the whole congregation." He died August 10, 1846. The following information is from Boyd Crumrine, "History of Washington County, Pennsylvania with Biographical Sketches of Many of Its Pioneers and Prominent Men" (Philadelphia: L. H. Leverts & Co., 1882). Jefferson Twp. (pp. 836-842) History of Washington County, Pennsylvania* JEFFERSON township is bounded on the north by Hanover, on the east by Smith and Cross Creek, on the south by Independence, and on the west by the State of West Virginia. The township is watered by Cross Creek (which forms its southern boundary against Independence) and its branches, and by the waters of Harmon's Creek on the north. The territory now within the limits of Jefferson township was included in Hopewell, one of the thirteen original townships formed in 1781. On the 1st of September, 1789, the township of Cross Creek was formed by action of the Court of Quarter Sessions, confirmed by the Supreme Executive Council, and then embraced the territory that is now Cross Creek, Jefferson, and part of Mount Pleasant. The territory now Jefferson remained within the jurisdiction of Cross Creek until 1853. During the winter of 1852-53 a petition of citizens of Cross Creek township was presented to the Court of Quarter Sessions praying that the western portion of Cross Creek be formed into a separate township. Viewers were appointed who made an examination, and at the June term of court of 1853 they made a report, which was confirmed, and on the 16th of June of that year the court ordered the territory mentioned in the petition to be formed into "a township to be called Jefferson township." Settlements. - The following list, gathered from the assessment-roll of Cross Creek township for the year 1791, embraces the names of property-holders at that time in that part of Cross Creek which afterwards became and is now the township of Jefferson, viz: Acres.

On the opening of the Revolution he entered the service with a York County battalion, and with it joined the body known as the "Flying Camp," under Washington. He served several months, then returned to York County, and in 1776 came to Western Pennsylvania, and made location on a tract of land of three hundred and thirty-two acres, called "Good Will," situated on Scott's Run, a branch of Cross Creek, about one mile east of the State line, in what is now Jefferson township, it being the same that is now owned and occupied by his grandson, Robert William McCready. Mr. McCready was married soon after making his location on the tract mentioned, and he became a school-teacher here, as he had been in York County. He taught school in Richard Wells' fort, which was one of the earliest schools in all the region west of the Monongahela. He was present when the first sermon was preached at that fort by the Rev. J. Powers in September, 1778. He was the first person who signed the "religious agreement" originated by Judge Edgar, and he selected the site of the edifice of the Cross Creek Church, of which he was elected an elder in 1792. He was elected county commissioner in 1797; was adjutant in the militia for many years, and served in that capacity under Col. John Vance, in what was called the "Lisbon campaign," in 1812. He was a large, fine-looking officer, with an unusually powerful voice, well adapted for military command. In politics he was a Federalist, and a leading spirit in that party in his section. He died Aug. 10, 1846, at the age of ninety-four years, his death being immediately caused by a cancer on his right hand. He was buried in the Cross Creek graveyard, where his resting-place is marked by a modest monument. His son David settled in the vicinity of his father's farm. The homestead came into possession of his son William, who occupied it till his death, which occurred on the day of the first election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States, Nov. 6, 1860. His son, Robert W. McCready, is, as before mentioned, the owner and occupant of the farm on which his grandfather settled in 1777.

Tax list in Richland County, Ohio in 1820, 21, 1825 and 26: From History of Ashland Co After his arrival in the U.S. he worked for a time on a farm near New Jersey. He then went to York Co. Pa. where he engaged in teaching school until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, when he took up arms for the cause of independence and served under General Washington. When liberty was won he returned to York Co. Pa. and soon afterwards he removed to Washington Co. settling on a farm of 300 and 32 acres near Eldersville, now owned by his grandson M.W. McCready (this was in the 1890's). In 1812 he again took up arms against England. Serving as adjutant in the Lisbon Regiment. He was a man of commanding presence with a voice of unusual strength and power and this fitted him well for military command. He died in 1846 at the age of 94, his remains being intered in Cross Creek Cem. Washington Co., Pa. From "Historical Sketches of Cross Creek" (http://www.fortvance.org/FV_Docs/Historical_Sketches_of_Cross_Creek_Valley.pdf): One of the earliest white men to come to the area was Robert McCready who settled around 1777 on a tract of 322 acres, patented to him as "Goodwill" or "Robert's FancY''; the patent being dated September 11, 1786. Descendants of Mr. McCready lived on and operated this farm until recent. years when it was sold to the Penowa Coal Company. Some of the buildings which had stood on the farm for many years were removed and reconstructed at Meadowcroft Village by Albert Miller. The farm is. slated to be "stripped" for coal, since the coal vein here is of shallow depth. At Cross Creek Village, we are told, the first school sessions were . held in the old log church building erect.ed in 1779, when Joseph Patterson was the teacher. Robert McCready taught at an early date in Wells Fort, and as the years went by, a number of schools were opened in various parts of the valley. .One of these was on the former Welch farm near Mt. Hope Church in Independence Township, and another was located near the stream, Cross Creek, in the vicinity of present Penowa. | McCREADY, Robert (I2535)

| 232 | Robert Scroggie testified at their marriage that they were both of age. Biography In the History of Jones County, 1910 In the thirty odd years that John D. Neelans has lived and worked upon his farm in Clay township, many improvements have been made upon the place, which have brought it to a high state of cultivation and the position it occupies at present, that of being one of the best in the locality. A native of Clay township, he was born upon the place he now owns, September 10, 1874, his parents being William and Mary (Dennison) Neelans, both natives of Ireland. The father was born in March, 1833, and came to the United States with his parents when he was seventeen years of age. The family located in Connecticut, where he found employment in the mines, and in 1866, after his marriage he came to Iowa. He also worked in the powder mills of Connecticut until the accidental death of his brother made him decide to seek other means of livelihood. In 1867 he purchased the first eighty acres of the homestead in Clay township, this county. He had nothing when he made the change to his new mode of life except the meager savings which he had slowly accumulated from his wages while working in the mines and the powder mills, but he was endowed with a capacity for work, and knew the value of industry and thrift, so that it was not long before he was well advanced along the road to success and able to add sixty acres to his land holdings. His long, honorable and well spent life was ended in 1904 and he was mourned as a good man and noble citizen. His widow, who was born in 1837, is still living. They were the parents of four children, two sons and two daughters: John D., Elizabeth, Ellen and William, all of whom are living in Iowa. Reared to the life of a farmer and initiated into hard work, John D. Neelans nevertheless chose agriculture as his own vocation, and, being satisfied with the returns reaped from the soil of the home place, has never sought other fields of labor. He acquired a fairly good education in the public schools of his town, ship, although study was never permitted to interrupt the work which was carried on upon the farm. For four years, however, he sought a livelihood elsewhere as a day laborer, the experiences of that period only serving to make him better contented with the vocation which had been selected for him. Since he has assumed the full responsibility of operating the home farm, he has instituted a number of improvements, not the least being the erection of the fine residence he now occupies. It is fitted with many of the modern conveniences enjoyed by dwellers in the cities, even to a fine furnace, which thoroughly heats the whole house despite the severe cold without. In addition to the raising of many cereals Mr. Neelans has given a considerable amount of time to the stock business, raising large numbers of hogs, cattle and horses and feeding them for the market. As progressive ideas have guided him in his work and industry has been the force which has put them into constant practice, it is but in the natural course of events that Mr. Neelans should be accounted one of the prosperous farmers of this township. After he had proved to his own satisfaction that he was able to achieve success in his line of work, Mr. Neelans was married December 20, 1899, to Miss Mate Hanna. Three children have been born to them: Fred J., born January 11, 1901 Mary D., born April 22, 1904; and Ruth G., born November 21, 1907. Mr. Neelans is a Presbyterian in his religious affiliations and gives his support in political matters to the democratic party. While he could not be called an office seeker, he has served his township most worthily as township clerk, his terms extending over a period of four years. His life, lived in accordance with high principles and spent in useful endeavor, has been of valuable service to the community and proves him deserving of the respect he enjoys.

| 233 | Robert W. and Ellen (Gault) McCready, were prepared as teachers and taught in the schools of Wyoming, Iowa, and other places until 1872, when they located on a farm near Wyoming, Iowa, where they lived for many years. William McCready, Robert W.'s father, was a pioneer in Iowa. Before the time of the railroads, he and his wife and two sons traveled by way of Burlington to Iowa City and settled there in the year 1844. The same year he fell a victim to the fever with which the country was infested and died. The family went back to the old home in Ohio, where the sons were educated and grew to manhood. Robert W. McCready went to Iowa again in 1870 but the balance of the family remained in Ohio. The McCreadys came to this country from Scotland and settled in or near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, about 1789, and many of the family live there at this date and at points nearby in Ohio.

| 239 | Scotland George Scroggie was born on July 27, 1853 in Cargill, Perth, Scotland (Central Scotland), the third child of Andrew and Grace Scroggie. As an infant, he embarked on a voyage to North America with his parents and brothers, about late 1853. One of his brothers died during the long voyage to Canada. Canada George and his family lived in Stratford, Canada for about 10 years where five additional siblings were born, Christina (1855), James (1856), Robert (1857), Mary Jane (1860) and Isabell (1862). George must have liked Canada as he returned there later in life after his wife died. Ohio George and his family immigrated to the U.S. about 1865 and settled in Ohio where his brother Charles was born. Iowa George was 17 years old when he appeared in the 1870 census working on the family farm in Clay Township, Jones County, Iowa. In 1870, he joined the Scotch Grove Presbyterian Church and later transferred to the Bethel Presbyterian Church when it formed. By 1880, he was married to Margaret Isabell Moncrief who was a native of Iowa (her parents were both born in Ireland), and together living on a farm nearby Andrew's and Grace's farm. It is curious that their first child James was born in 1878 but was not listed as living with them during the 1880 census. In 1900, George at the age of 46 is listed as living with his children Perry, Grace, Jessie, John, George E. (Emmett) and Araminta. His wife Margaret Isabell had died of heart failure on August 11, 1898. His son Perry left high school at that time to help out on the farm. By 1910, George was living with Perry (29), Grace (26), Emmett (16) and Araminta (14). In 1912, he had left Iowa, presumably for his farm/ranch in Alberta, Canada near his daughter Jessie and her husband's family. Perry's son Charles recalls George visiting their farm in Ruthton, MN when he was in grade school (mid to late 1920's). Washington Later in life (about 1923), George went to live near his son James in Vancouver, Washington. He died there on December 29, 1938 at the age of 85.

| 245 | She was born in 1740 in Ireland. James Leeper and Mary Jane 'Jennie' Amspoker were both about thirty-three when they married in about 1773 in Muddy Creek Forks, Lower Chanceford Township, York County, Pennsylvania. In 1780, they moved to Brooke County, Virginia, now in West Virginia. His sister, Elizabeth married his wife's brother, Jonas Amspoker. James was forty-one when he served in the Revolutionary War in 1781 as a private 7th class under Capt. Edmund Baxter, along with his brother, Samuel and his brother-in law, Jonas Amspoker in the 8th Co. 4th Battalion in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Their known children: Anna Leeper (Dillon) (b.1775) John Leeper (b.1776 d.1849) James Leeper (b.1778 d.1860) Martha'Mattie'Leeper (b.1780 d.1850) William Alexander Leeper (b.1782 d.1858) Jane Leeper (b.1783 d.1868) Family history was recorded in the Codorus Chronicles, The History and Genealogy of York County, PA. Vol II #4 Feb 1985, and the Commemorative Biographical Record of Carroll County, Ohio, published by J.H. Beers & Co in 1891 and researched by Steve Leeper in 1997 and by Jerry D. Leeper of Glendora, CA in 1997, and later of Kansas. The Leeper Family History compiled by Laverne Leeper in the 1930s contained two letters written to Mary Leeper Long in 1900 from David Rohrer Leeper, a descendent of James's father. According to p.181 of a History of Chanceford Township, York County, Pennsylvania, 1747 - 1997, his sister Mary had a son named Alexander Smith and his sister Elizabeth had a son named John Amspoker. The two executors named in James's will were Alexander Smith and John Amspoker. If James was Mary's and Elizabeth's brother, then they would be his nephews. They had been married about fifty-three years when they both died in 1826 in Brooke County, West Virginia. James died August 16, 1826 and Mary died about three months later on November 9, 1826. They were buried in the Cross Creek Presbyterian Cemetery in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The orginal gravestones were replaced by a modern stone. Mary lived to about age 86. | Amspoker, Mary Jane (I163)
