Our grandfather, Reverend John McCrary (John Memorial's grandfather) moved to Indiana first and then on to Iowa a few years after leaving North Carolina.  He was very politically active.  Here is an excerpt:

Judge John McCrary was selected by the voters at the first election held in the County, to occupy a place on the bench as associate judge. He was a man of sterling worth, and long occupied a prominent place in the annals of Armstrong Township
