From C.A. Brooman (#48601467):
Ann Lucy was born Ann Lucy McCready in 1772, the daughter of Dennis McCready. A bio about her son, Charles Stanbery, in History of Delaware County, Ohio (pub. by O.L. Baskin, 1880), says that, "...the father was an Earl in bonnie Scotland, and was forced, through persecution, to leave his native country." In my research into forced emigrations from Scotland, I discovered something called the highland clearances, in which many families in the Scottish highlands were evicted from their ancestral homes by aristocratic landowners during the 17th and 18th centuries, which caused a wave of emigrations to the American colonies and elsewhere.
A search of tartans for the surname McCready does show that this is a valid Scottish surname, probably a variant of McCreadie.
Page 119 of Colonial Records of the New York Chamber of Commerce, 1768-1784, by John Austin Stevens Jr. (John F. Trow, New York, 1867), shows that a Mr. Dennis McCready, a New York City merchant, entered into arbitration against Mr. Patrick Loughan over 34 Hogsheads of flax seed on 1 Jan 1771. He also appeared on the 1790 census of New York City's East Ward, the only man inside New York City with this or similar surname and the given name Dennis. (There were three woman in the household, making it highly likely this was the right man.)
If Ann Lucy's father was a resident of New York City, in the Colony of New York, as of 1 Jan 1771, then she must have been born there. Her eldest son, Hon. Henry Stanbery, reported on the 1880 census of New York City that his mother was born in New York.
Ann Lucy was married first on 18 Jul 1792, at Trinity Church in New York City, to Robert Seaman (1770-1795), also a New York City merchant. The marriage was solemnized by Rev. Benjamin Moore. (The surname was spelled McReady on her marriage record, but I believe this to be a misspelling, as it is not a valid Scottish surname, and does not have a tartan.) They had one daughter before his untimely death: Eliza Seaman, born c.1795.
She married second to Jonas Stanbery on 5 Mar 1797 in New York City. The marriage was solemnized by Rev. Dr. Foster. (from the card file: Newspaper Marriages, N.Y. State Library, Albany, N.Y.). Ann Lucy not only raised her own daughter, Eliza Seaman, and Jonas's six children by his first wife Frances Winans (Elias, future U.S. Congressman William, Job, Jonas Jr., Frances and Catherine), but had seven more children! Her children with Jonas were:
1. Ann Lucy Stanbery Peirce* (1798-1857) *not a misspelling!
2. Hon. Henry Stanbery (1803-1881); First Ohio AG, U.S. AG
3. Edward Stanbery, M.D. (1806-1854)
4. Augustus Stanbery (1808-1818)
5. Charles Stanbery, Esq. (1809-1892)
6. George Stanbery (1812-1828)
7. Howard Stanbery (1814-1893)
I haven't been able to find the graves for Augustus, who died in childhood in Zanesville, or George, who died while attending school in Athens, OH.
Jonas's will gave Ann Lucy a life estate in "Lot number Eleven in the Fifth square of the town of Zanesville (being the same lot on which I now reside)."
