Notes for MARY JANE PRICE:
McCrosky: Of Geary, Walton, Spencer District:
Mary Jane McCrosky, widow of John H. McCrosky, who died in Giles Co. VA, in
the first of the decade, 1850, with their six sons and three daughters came to
Roane Co. about the year it was founded (1856), and established a pioneer home
for herself on Big Sandy. The names of these sons and daughters are as follows:
James Henley, William C., John Robert, Paris L., Harvey Chapman and Giles
Franklin, Amanda, Talitha and Virginia.
Further of this family:
James Henley married Miss Sarah Ann Keiffer, went west; John Robert married
Miss Lydia Ellis, he was many years the first-class blacksmith at Spencer, West
Virginia; Paris L. married a Miss Susan A. Snodgrass, year 1871; Harvey Chapman,
went "west"; Giles Franklin, married Roberta Barnhouse, January 17, 1883.
William C. McCrosky, above mentioned, son of John H. and Mary Jane McCrosky,
was born in Giles Co., November 1, 1842; helped with making of the family home
on Big Sandy; enlisted and served in the Union armies, 1862-1864. On furlough,
on Sandy, January 15, 1864, he united in marriage with Louisa Drake, born on Big
Sandy, then part of Kanawha Co., May 1, 1848, daughter of Solomon and Elizabeth
J. Drake, pioneers there. William C. McCrosky became owner of the old home place
and was a prominent figure in Geary District religious and secular affairs for
twenty years; such as member of the Board of Education and Justice of the Peace
one or more terms. To William C. and Louisa (Drake), his wife, were born and
reared the following named sons and daughters: Sutton M., 1869; Elizabeth J.,
1866; Charles W., 1871; John Henry, 1873; Harvey W., 1876; Mary E. 1878; George

When researching John McCroskey, I noticed a Net site that listed Nancy Harless as a second wife of John McCroskey (b.1790). I believe this confusion is due to Nancy Harless being married to a different John McCroskey as the following data states: [Paula Wiegand at http://www.genealogy-quest.com/Harless-Homepage/tree/p161.htm] :
Nancy Harless was born circa 1825. She was the daughter of Isaac D. Harless and Dicey Duncan. Nancy Harless married John A. McCroskey, son of Jean Price, 20 October 1842 at Giles County, Virginia.
