THOMAS McNARY, the third son of JAMES of Chanceford, is believed to have been born in Lancaster (now York) County, Pennsylvania, about the year 1744, and is the "Captain Thomas McNerry" of the "Flying Camp,", York County "Associators," previously alluded to in these pages. He married Janet Robinson, of York County, in 1766. In 1782, or the succeeding year, following the line of emigration westward, he with all his family, removed to a farm of 219 acres, in North Strabane township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, which he purchased for "375 pounds specie, lawful money of Pennsylvania." He resided on this farm until his death which occurred in 1820. In his will he provided for the "legal" freedom of a servant, Jean Parkinson, who had been practically free for many years previous to his death.
