TIMELINE
1 Sep 1850
Drusilla E McCreary
lived in Division 90, Warren, Georgia, on 1 Sep 1850 in the home of her
parents, Jasper McCreary and Drusilla McCreary, along with 9 of her siblings:
Ezra, Frances, Martha J, Jasper, Susan, Elizabeth, Emilia, James N, and Sarah
N. Age 3, born about 1847 in Georgia.
23 Jun 1860
At about the age of 12,
Drewcilla E McCray lived in the McCrary District, Warren, Georgia, in 1860. Other
members of the household were her parents, Jasper McCrary and Dreucilla
McCrary, along with 3 of her siblings: Amelia, Newton, and Sarah.
17 Jan 1867
When she was 19, Drucilla
E McCrary married Matthew Harris IVEY, son of George Washington IVEY and Martha
Eunice W. SMITH on 17 Jan 1867 in Warren, Georgia.
18 Jul 1870
The 1870 census lists
her as Drucilla Ivy (keeping house), age 23 (b. abt 1847 in Georgia) living in
Warren, Georgia with her husband, Mathew (farmer), and two of their children,
Minnie (age 2) and Jasper (infant). The “value of the personal estate” is
recorded as “200” but does not list a “value of real estate”.
According to the census
record on FamilySearch.org, Drucilla and Matthew are living in the household of
Nancy Hurley (indexed translation), age 78, b. abt 1791 in Virginia, and
“without occupation”. I have not been able to connect Nancy to any of the Ivey
or McCrary family members. The transcribed name of Hurley looks more like
Ansley to me in the record.
There are two more
household members listed: Marcus Ivy, age 5, b. abt 1864 in Georgia, and Mary N
or H? Ivy, age 15, b. abt 1854 in Georgia.
I have not been able to connect these children to the family. The 1870 census records do not designate household
relationships. Marcus and Mary do not
appear in any other records connected to the family of Matthew and Drucilla.
There are nearby
neighbors with the Ivey surname. One is
her mother-in-law, Martha E Ivy, with 4 of her husband's siblings, John,
Washington, Sterling, and Eunice. The
other family is William Ivy & Susan Humphries Ivy, with 4 of their
children: Martha, William, Peebles and Mary. I have not been able to connect
them to the family. Surnames of other neighbors are: Fowler, McDaniel.
29 Jun 1880
At about the age of 32,
Drucilla E Ivey lived in Warrenton, Warren, Georgia with her husband, Mathew
Ivey (head of household), and 4 of their children: Minnie A Ivey, Jasper W
Ivey, Olivia A Ivey, and Orlando M Ivey.
Matthew is a farmer, Drucilla is a housekeeper and Minnie & Jasper
are at school.
There are a number of
Ivey’s living nearby marked as black servants, listed as separate households.
Other neighbors’ surnames: Kitchens,
Rogers, Reese, Pitts.
30 Jun 1900
Drucilla E Ivey was counted

Mathew E Ivey (married 27 years), and 4 of their children: Olivia A Ivey, Nevil
C Ivey, Osmer E Ivey, and Mary E Ivey. Her husband's occupation is recorded as
“farmer” renting his farm.
This record states
Drucilla had 5 children, 4 were still living.
They had already had 7 children by 1900, and all were still living. [Stillborn children are not counted in census
records.] I’m not sure who the deceased child is, unless it is one of the 2
unknown children listed in the 1870 census.
Surnames of other
neighbors: Wheeler, Norris. There are a large number of black farm
laborers living nearby in separate households.
There is an Ivey family
with Head of Household Ephraim Ivey (b. abt 1856 in Ga), wife – Enola V Nelson
Ivey (b. abt 1859 in Ga), and 5 children: Mary, Jessie, Jennie, Henry W, and
Maude L. Ephraim Jesse is the son of Benjamin Henry Ivey & Mary Jane Ivey,
grandson of Thomas Pate Ivey & Sancil Burkhalter Ivey and Benjamin Franklin
Ivey and Sarah McDaniel Ivey. He would
have been a cousin of her husband.
