I believe they are different people, although I do have both names for him only because of the 1850 and 1870 censuses listing him as Henry. His name is Hilary. I also have a Joseph Henry McGary who married Lubertha Unknown. This may be Lubertha/Bertha Vessels that you mentioned. He also went by Henry and was b. in 1841. He was son of John Henry McGary (brother to William F. McGary). You will find both Hilary McGary with wife Margaret and five of their 11 children and H. J. McGary with wife Lubertha and daughter Esther on the 1880 Hardinsburg, Breckinridge census. [email protected] wrote: Today's Topics: 1.

Surnames: McGary, Hinton, Vessels, Lyons Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YAB.2ACI/4517 Message Board Post: I am trying to trace the descendants of William F. McGary (born 1805) who lived in the McQuady/Hardinsburg area. He married a Mary Ellen Hinton in 1835. They had a number of children (maybe eleven) and I have found a Henry McGary that married a Bertha Vessels and Hilary McGary that married a Margaret Lyons. Both Hilary and Henry were born around 1842 or 1843. The 1850 census shows William McGary with a son Henry and the 1860 census shows a Hilary with no Henry. Are they the same person? Are they two different sons of William McGary? Any help would be appreciated. ------------------------------ To contact the KYBRECKI list administrator, send an email to [email protected] To post a message to the KYBRECKI mailing list, send an email to [email protected] __________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word "unsubscribe" without the quotes in the subject and the body of the email with no additional text.
