I am researching one of the McCray families in PA. I have 3 obits of family memebers stating they were born and married in Concord, Erie Co. PA, but I haven't had any success with finding any information from that area. I am hoping someone on the list will be able to help me find a direction.

On the 1850 census of Concord township, Erie Co. PA, there is listed POLLY MCCRAY 59 years, PERRY MCCRAY 25 years, and JOSEPHINE GREENE 2/12.

On the 1860 census of Concord township, Erie Co. PA, there is listed PERRY MCCRAY 36 years, and HANNAH LADUE MCCRAY 27 years.

In 1870, I find them on the census, Town of Little Falls, Monroe Co. WI.

Perry and Hannah had 3 children, Emma and Hasson, born in Concord, Erie Co. PA, and the third was born somewhere in WI.

My information is taken from census records, and obituaries. What I am trying to find is the parents of PERRY MCCRAY, from the census of 1850 it looks like Polly could be his mother, but I haven't been able to come up with anything.

I also have the book "McCray's of America" second edition on interlibrary loan, but haven't found anything in it to help me out.

Maybe someone on this list has come across this McCray family or may be researching it also. Thank you for any help.
