| Notes |
Sometime before 1781, Robert Cree, Sr., left his home in the Eastern part of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania and settled in the Tenmile Country near Shepherd's church, where he was living when serving in Captain William Crawford's Militia Company in the arraingment for October 15, 1781. It is quite evident that he was an elderly man when he migrated to this part of the frontier, for some of his grown up children with their families accompanied him. There is not enough evidence to say that Robert Cree,Sr., was the ancestor of all the Cree Family of this section, but such could be case. if not, then William Cree of Muddy Creek, the Revolutionary soldier buried on the home place, and Patrick Cree, listed in the tax lists for Cumberland Township in 1784, would be the exceptions. A William Cree is mentioned in the will of Robert Cree, Sr., but Patrick Cree disappears from local records. It is evident that all of his children followed his migration and eventually located for a time near, before moving further west. In his will, which was probated in Greene County on April 6,1813, he mentions his wife, Janet, whose maiden name was probably Hamilton, as the Hamiltons were near neighbors in Cumberland County, and he perpetuated this name in one of his sons. He is probably buried in Shepherd's Church Cemetery, where at least two of his children are buried. [Reference: Howard L. Leckey, "The Tenmile Country and Its Pioneers", (Apollo, Pennsylvania : Closson Press, 1993), pg. 544]
