John Cree and Agnes McFarland (mar 1760)

For a second time a Cree nephew followed his uncle from Methven, Perthshire to Glasgow. For John Cree was a son of Hugh Crie of Methven and therefore a nephew of Hugh's brother John who had become Deacon of Cordiners (shoemakers) in Glasgow. No doubt the uncle was already in a good position by 1760 to smooth the entry of his nephew into the Cordiners Guild in Glasgow. John Cree married Agnes McFarland that year in Glasgow High Kirk (now the Cathedral).

John reverted to the traditional spelling of his name - Crie - at the baptisms of his children. Julie Clayton says that his eldest son John Crie was "confiscated off the streets of Glasgow Scotland and was 'encouraged' to fight with the British Army during the revolutionary war," later settling on Matinicus Isle, Maine, USA, and founding the settlement of Criehaven on the nearby Ragged Island.

Another son, William Crie married Margaret Jarvie and they definitely emigrated to Maine, USA, settling in Portland. These two lines are the only ones still using the spelling Crie today.

Archibald Cree was a great-grandson of John Cree and Agnes McFarland. He became a Presbyterian Minister and moved around Scotland and England with his wife Agnes Walker and an increasingly large family until he migrated to North Carolina in 1889 where he was a Baptist Minister. However he is said to have earned his living as a cobbler when he first moved to the USA. He was thus the fourth generation of Cree shoemakers. Archibald has Cree descendants living in North and South Carolina to this day.
