CYRUS HARVEY McCARTNEY, farmer and fruit grower of Green Creek township, Sandusky county, was born in Erie county, Ohio, June 27, 1837, of old pioneer stock. His parents were William and Eliza (Cooper) McCartney, the former of whom was born in Kentucky in 1789, when a young man coming to Sandusky City, Ohio, some time prior to the war of 1812, when there was only one cabin on the site of that now flourishing city. He was the first settler of the place. He removed to Venice, Erie county, and there for six or seven years owned and operated the first saw and grist mill of the place. Selling it to Mr. Heywood, he bought a farm a half mile west of Venice, where he died in 1877, aged eighty-eight years. In politics he was originally an Old-time Whig, afterward a Republican. At Mt. Vernon, Ohio, he had married Eliza Cooper, who was born in Trenton, N. J., of old Highland stock. The six children of William and Eliza McCartney were as follows: Katie, now Mrs. Dwelle, of Fremont; Charles, who died aged thirty years; Jessup, who died at the age of twenty-five years; Gertrude, wife of J. F. Chapman, of Erie county; Henry, of Erie county; and Cyrus Harvey.
The youngest child, Cyrus Harvey McCartney, grew up on the farm and attended the district schools. On December 25, 1859, he was married, at Castalia, Erie county, to Miss Margaret L. Crippen. who was born December 23, 1836, in Groton township, Erie county, daughter of Charles B. and Lovina (Vandercook) Crippen. Charles Crippen was an extensive landowner near Bellevue. His wife Lovina Vandercook was born in Troy, N. Y., February 15, 1807, came to Ohio when about nineteen years old, and died in Groton township, Erie county, aged sixty- two years. After his marriage Mr. McCartney settled on the old McCartney farm near Venice, Erie county. He engaged in stock- raising and farming until 1877, when he purchased and moved to a farm of sixty-eight and a half acres in Green Creek township, Sandusky county.
