TWO BEDMINSTER FAMILIES--MCCREA and HENRY
BY A. VAN DOREN HONEYMAN, PLAINFIELD, N. J.

IN GIVING as complete a history as the writer now can of two old, and, in their day, widely known Bedminster families, the usual custom of the QUARTERLY is departed from in treating two family lines of wholly different surnames in one article. The reason is that these families by intermarriages and close proximity of residence were, in a measure, closely related, and there must be various references from one general subject to the other.

The McCrea family, of Lamington, while chiefly noted in historical works because it gave birth to the ill-fated Jane McCrea, whose massacre by Indians in the Revolution created such a stir both in America and England, deserves, what it has never received, as full a record as can now be made. The Henry family, also of Lamington and vicinity, which was closely associated with the McCrea family, has had among its descendants some noted clergyman and lawyers, and in the time of Colonel James Henry, of Lamington, was one of the best known of Bedminster families.

THE HENRY FAMILY of LAMINGTON
The first American Ancestor of the Bedminster family under consideration was--
1. MICHAL HENRY, of Readington twsp., Hunterdon co., b. about 1683, probably in Scotland. His parents, at least, were born in Scotland, going from there to Newry, a seaport town in counties Down and Armagh, Ireland. From Newry Michael migrated to America, along with other Scotchmen who came hither in large numbers about the same period. He brought with him his wife, Jean (???), also perhaps b. in Scotland, but certainly of Scotch parentage, she being eleven years his junior. While no date of their coming to America has been found, it was probably in 1716, or earlier, as, on Oct. 19 of that year, he purchased of John Harrison a lot in the town of Perth Amboy for œ20, the
