Article in Potter Enterprise August 2012
August 2012 , Potter County, Pennsylvania
By Jeannette Buck:
William Ardrey was born in March of 1773 and his wife Mary was born just a few months before him in August of 1772. They came into the world just as the anger and rebellion that would explode in to the American Revolution was coming to a boil. For reasons unknown, they left their families in southwestern Pennsylvania and went to live in what would become Yates County, NY. where they raised a large family.
______________________
Then, with their family half-grown, they pulled up stakes again and leaving some of the older children behind, William and Mary Ardrey came to Potter County.
______________________
Their daughter Susannah or Susan, married William Morley and I can claim her as my great-great grandmother. Otherwise, I would know nothing about them. For me, the fascination is in the dates.
_______________________
Mary Brong Ardrey was probably the daughter of Peter Brong and was of Dutch descent. The Ardreys were of Scotch-Irish origin and had settled in the area near what is now Chambersburg, Pennsylvania long enough ago that at times, they had to seek protection from some angry Native Americans.
_______________________
Mary Ardrey raised at least eight children; she was twice completely uprooted from her established homes and family and lived several months into her 100th year.
_______________________
She grew up as the Revolution was being fought; she was a wife and mother during the War of 1812 and lived to see the country nearly split in two during the Civil War. If the dates on this paper are correct, she was still bearing children in her early 50s.
_______________________
She left a daughter and a son, both grown and married, in New York when she came to Potter County. It appears that she never saw either of them again. Her daughter Sarah, or Sally, married a man by the name of Carter and she went west with him and disappeared into the wilderness.
She left behind an illegitimate daughter for Mary to raise. Two more of Mary’s children, Jim, who had married Olive Daniels and Margaret whose husband was a farmer and sometimes preacher named Silas Bowker left for Michigan during the Civil War. There were a few letters over the years, which have been preserved and have a home up there on my shelf, but Mary never saw her children or their families again.
______________________
Mary’s final years were spent with her daughter Susannah Ardrey Morley, who was widowed just a few years after her husband returned from the Civil War. Their struggle just to keep food on the table is family legend. And, here I am, 240 years after Mary’s birth, wondering about her and marveling at the stamina that kept her going. I’m proud to claim her as an ancestor.
______________________
Clearing those shelves is going to be a very slow process at this rate. However, I’m willing to bet the back forty that it will never be boring
