Samuel and Lucinda were married on January 24, 1838, in Maury County, Tennessee. Daughter Mar tha Jane was born in Maury County eighteen months later. In 1844, Samuel and Lucinda moved t o Polk county. Samuel's younger brother, John McCrory, also move to Polk County, probably a t the same time. It appears there was a direct path from Maury County to Plk in the middle o f the nineteenth century, as several Maury names later turn up in Polk.

The children of Samuel and Lucinda include Marth Jane, Margaret, Louisa, Samuel Evans, and Le onard Judson.

Samuel's parents are unknown. His father was born in Ireland, and his mother in South Carolin a. His father was probably William McCrory, a neighbor of his in the Maury 1840 census; Willi am was listed between the ages 60 and 70, with a wife who was 50-60. In 1785, a William McCro ry emigrated to South Carolina from Ireland; in 1813 he petitioned for citizenship in Fairfie ld County, South Carolina. This same William was also a veteran of the War of 1812.

More work remains to be done on Lucinda Woody's ancestry. Several Woody families lived in Ten nessee in the first half of the nineteenth century. She was born in North Caorlina but move d to Tennessee at a very young age. Samuel and Lucinda are buried in the Barren Creek Cemeter y, about three and ahalf miles east of Fair Play, in Polk County.
