William McCraney (1810-1895) of NC and MS
Seeking more information about the ancestry of William McCraney (1810-1895) of North Carolina.Another McCraney researcher found him in the 1880 census for Newton County, Mississippi. It showed he was born in North Carolina, as was his father and mother.His wife was Elizabeth Ann (Unknown), born in Georgia or South Carolina.
William and Elizabeth Ann had one son and two daughters.It is believed one of the daughters eventually moved to Oklahoma.I am a descendant of his son William Thomas McCraney (1860-1931), who was born in Mississippi.William Thomas married my great grandmother, Henrietta Jane Brown (1863-1942) in Newton County, Mississippi in 1880.
