1 1860 US Census (Kirtland, Lake County, Ohio). Repository: Ancestry. Surety: 4. Lists Stephen Crary (age 30, b. OH), wife Susan [Randall] (age 26, b. OH), daughter Lillie (age 2, b. OH) and a 6 month old "unnamed" child (b. OH), living in Kirtland, Ohio. Stephen is listed as a "farmer." Living next door are Susan's parents, John and Eliza Randall. The unnamed child is marked as a male, but as this couple only had five children (one of whom died), I believe this infant is Bertha.

Stephen is listed as a "house carpenter," and indicates that both his parents were born in New York. Susan indicates that her father was born in New York [erroneous] and her mother in Massachusetts.

OH), living in Peru, Indiana in the household of Andrew Lee (age 20, b. VA) and wife Roxanna (age 17, b. VA). Christian is listed as a "mail carrier." Andrew Lee is listed as a "carpenter." Although it is likely that this record represents Stephen Christopher Crary, there is some room for doubt. The relationship, if any, between Christian and the Lee's is unknown.
