4	1985 History of Butler County, Brown & Co., p.1254-55. Biographical sektches of James Cratty, Sr., and of Thomas Cratty (oldest brother of James Cratty, Jr.): "James Cratty came to Muddy Creek township, Butler county, form the vicinity of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, early in the present century, and settled upon the land now owned by Joshua McCandless. He was accompanied to this county by his brothers, Robert and Thomas, and sister Rachel ...". He married 1st Mary Johnston, dau. of Bernard Johnston; 2nd Jane English. He had a son James (deceased at time of writing). Note: We expect it is this James Cratty's son, James Jr., who married Tamson Wilson. James Cratty's first son Thomas had a son named James A., but as Thomas was born in 1811, he is too young to be the father of the James Cratty who is married to Tamson and 38 yrs old (born about 1822) in the 1860 census.

Source notes

• The name Millhausen is also seen as changed to Millison, Millson, Millron.
• The death date (Nov, 1861) listed in the Civil War record is too early to account for the listed age (6, so born 1863 or 1864)of the final daughter in the 1870 census. However the mother was only partially literate, so the age may be in error.
