Note of Dr. C.T. McCready, D.D.
"The family name, which is properly McCREERY, was spelled McCREARY by William of Tullyhubbert, whose wife adopted the form McCREEDY in 1807, or earlier -- although she and her son John Davidson reverted (probably for the sake of legal accuracy) to the form McCREERY, when affixing their signatures to a deed dated 18th March, 1816."
"The spelling McCREADY (instead of McCreedy) was assumed by John Davidson about the year 1825 -- and it is used by his posterity."
The McCreery family is of the stock of Dalriadic settlers of Western Scotland. It descends through and takes its name from Rorie, son of Randal, the son of Somhairle, who died 1164. It occupied Bute, par of Cantire, and several of the smaller isles. It returned to the North of Ireland in the XVII century, in the Jacobean Plantation of Ulster.
