Kate, I'm so glad that we were able to help you in your quest for information about the McGrady family.The will did have a wealth of information and we were thrilled to be able to share it with you because we know how we would have felt if it had been one of our primarly targets.It did help me because I now believe Mary Swinney may have been the sister of Silas McGrady, but now I've got to dig further to try to prove it.Mary was married to Ellis Swinney who died about 1839 and she first appears as a head of household on the 1840 Census.She never remaarried but apparently was successful takeing in borders and owned a good bit of land before the war. She later moved to Ala. Good luck with your search.Sylvia Walker
