Revised in 1998 by Raymond Huckles. Downloaded on 7/30/99 from <http://www.ivlt.com/sisley/> page 6 B1 LEWIS SISLEY – A family record owned by Robert Sisley shows Lewis Sisley, son of Jacob and Jane Sisley and Margaret, daughter of Nathan and Mary Ellis married on Nov. 14, 1788. Lewis born in Pennsylvania, July 22, 1765, died Feb. 14, 1826. Margaret born in Maryland Dec. 13, 1773 died Feb. 13, 1870. (This looks like 1810 but records show she was still living in 1860 at 87 years of age.) They are both buried at Rehobeth Cemetery. [MyNote: My data on the descendants of Lewis Sisly (1765- 1826) is documented through personal research using Census Records, Land Records, Biographical Histories, Obituaries, Local Birth/Death/Marriage Records, etc. Some of the birth/death/marriage dates on Lewis' children are from 'The Sisley Family' by Paul and Edith Bongiorno and are noted as such in the sources. Most other data is not documented in sources at this time. If you are a descendant of any of these people, please contact me. Rebeckah R. Wiseman <rwiseman@ligtel.com> 8/28/99]

Generation No. 3 3. HESTER3 SISLEY (LEWIS2, JACOB1) was born 1795 in Fayette Co., PA6, and died 1899 in Fayette Co., PA6. She married JAMES MCCRORY 1812 in <Fayette Co., PA>7. Notes for HESTER SISLEY: Biographical and Portrait Cyclopedia of Fayette County, Pennsylvania Gresham, 1889 p.362 James McCrory, was a native of Fayette county, and a son of James McCrory, who came from England and settled near Allenport, Washington county, over one hundred years ago. His mother, Hester Sisley, was a daughter of Lewis Sisley, who settled in the county over one hundred years ago. HISTORY: Nelson's Biographical Dictionary & Historical Reference Book of Fayette County, Pennsylvania Nelson, 1900 p1045 Lewis McCrory, a farmer and retired engineer of Franklin township, was born January 9, 1824, and is a son of James and Esther (Sisley) McCrory. Mr. McCrory is of Scotch-Irish ancestry... The McCrory family has been one hundred and fifty years in Western Pennsylvania. Lewis McCrory’s grandfather settled near Belle Vernon, and was driven away three times by Indians. He took up a large tract of land but left his improvement several times on an Indian alarm, and went to a fort for security. His son, James McCrory, was born in 1789, was a blacksmith by trade, and served in a drafted company in the war of 1812. James McCrory at the close of the War of 1812, married Esther Sisley, and to their union were born eight children: Wilson, born in 1815; John, born in 1816; Thomas, born in 1818; William, born in 1821; Lewis, born in 1824; Margaret, born in 1826; James, born in 1828; and one who died in infancy. Of these children only William, Margaret and Lewis, the subject of this sketch, are living.

Notes for WILLIAM MCCRORY: Per biography of of Lewis McCrory (Nelson, 1900 p1045) William was born in 1821 and was not living in 1900. CENSUS: 1860 Fayette City, Fayette Co., PA p226 William McCrory, 37, Boat Engineer, RE 800, RE 6000, born PA [b. 1823] Nancy, 37, born Pennsylvania [b. 1823] David, 1, born Pennsylvania [b. 1859] [MyNote: These two probably not be the same individual. According to the bio below, that William McCrory was married twice, both times his wife's name was Mary. There could very well be two William McCrory's in Fayette County at that time. I doubt that the one below in biography is a son of James and Hester, primarily because they are not mentioned. On the same page there is a biography of Wilson McCrory in which James and Hester are named as Wilson's parents.] Biographical and Portrait Cyclopedia of Fayette County, Pennsylvania Gresham, 1889 p.362 William McCrory is a native of Fayette City, and was born March 11, 1822. He attended school and worked in his father’s blacksmith shop until he was nineteen years of age, when he became a steamboat engineer. He ran for many years on the Monongahela and Ohio rivers, and was in the "Lower Trade" on the Mississippi for some years. He was married in 1850 to Miss Mary Banks, daughter of William Banks, who was a prominent glass-blower. She died in 1853. In 1858 he married again, his second wife being Miss Mary Wilson, daughter of David Wilson, who came from Ireland to Fayette county prior to 1794. During the whiskey insurrection he and three of his neighbors assisted in preventing the burning of Pittsburgh. Mr. McCrory made a trip to California in 1850, going by water via the Isthmus of Panama. He remained on the Pacific coast for two years and a half. He has invented a life preserver that is claimed to be superior to any other in existence. It is a gum jacket that can be inflated at will, and is sufficiently strong to float the weight of two ordinary persons. His friends, and many who have examined this preserver, are enthusiastic in its praises, and claim the day is not far distant when it will be in universal use.

More About INDIANA SISLEY: Burial: Hively Corners Cemetery, Thorncreek Twp., Whitley Co., IN Record Change: August 28, 1999 Notes for CONRAD STEM: [MyNotes: Conrad Stem was first located in the 1840 census of Washington township, Fayette county, Pennsylvania. But there is a Joseph Stem listed earlier in 1820 Westmoreland county and in 1830 Fayette county. It is possible that this Joseph Stem is Conrad’s father. Conrad and Indiana Stem were living in Fayette county in 1839 when they received their share of her father’s estate. By 1850 both Conrad and Joseph Stem had relocated to Chester township, Wayne county, Ohio and were neighbors of the Peter Wise family. Malissa Stem, daughter of Conrad and Indiana, married Jacob Wise in 1850 in Wayne county, Ohio. Prior to 1860, Conrad and Indiana moved their family to Thorncreek township, Whitley county, Indiana. Jacob Wise and Malissa settled in Whitley county about 1852. [MyNote: The surname STEM has also been recorded as Stemm, Stam, Stern and Stein. Records for all these spellings have been found in early Pennsylvania, during the Revolution and before.] FAMILY REUNION: Undated Article page 17 column 4 in "the scrapbook" [1904] A reunion of the descendants of the Conrad Stem family was held July 4th at the home of Mrs. Eli Anspaugh at Shriner Lake. The Stems were among the first settlers of this section and only two members of this family, Esther Anspaugh and Austin Stem of Elkhart, are living. This was the second reunion of the relatives and friends which have been held annually at the home of one of the members.

He is of English descent. His father, James McCrory, was a native of Fayette county, and a son of James McCrory, who came from England and settled near Allenport, Washington county, over one hundred years ago. His mother, Hester Sisley, was a daughter of Lewis Sisley, who settled in the county over one hundred years ago. Wilson McCrory attended several subscription schools, later learned the blacksmith trade under his father, who was an early settler of "Cookstown" and cut the logs on the ground where he erected his house and shop. He followed blacksmithing for four years, and then engaged in steamboating, which he continued up to 1885. He was married November 2, 1870, to Mary, daughter of James Hamer, the latter a native of Manchester, England, who came to Brownsville in 1822, and removed thence to "Cookstown". They have two children: James H. and Nelson. The older son is mechanically inclined, and without any assistance when thirteen years of age built a steam engine. His third and last engine is one of four horse-power. With it he has drilled a well thirty-six feet deep, and found a small flow of gas. Mr. McCrory has in his possession as relics the Sisley conch shell, bearing date of 1806, and the old indentures - over a century in age - by which his father was bound to work three years for about two pounds sterling, three months schooling and a "freedom suit". He served as tax collector, was elected school director and has filled several other offices of the borough. Mr. McCrory was at the siege of Vicksburg, in the Morgan raid from Kentucky to Ohio, and was at Buffington Island. After a long life of activity and hard labor, he has now retired from business, and is a highly respected citizen of Fayette City, where he at present resides.

Her ambition was to properly raise and educate her children, but her summons came before the task was done. With sympathy for the orphans and friends, and respect for the memory of the deceased, we leave all with Him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will. After brief services at the house, conducted by her pastor, Rev. Sanders, who was too ill to go to the place of burial, the remains were taken to the family burial grounds near Etna where Rev. Rockey preached a sermon, "One by one." D.W. Sanders FUNERAL: Undated article from "the scrapbook" The funeral of Mrs. Wise took place last Thursday and the remains were taken to the Scott Cemetery in Troy township for interment. Considering the condition of the roads and the driving cold wind the trip was a terrible one. When three miles north of town the horses on the hearse gave out and a team was borrowed from Mr. Egner to complete the journey. Rev. Rockey, owing to the indisposition on the part of Rev. Sanders, led the procession and he says it was the worst trip he ever made in his life. The distance was about eight miles, and the horses were obliged to travel it at a very slow and plodding gait.
