... (22) ii William McCue, M.D., b 14, July 1787, Augusta county, Va., d 7, Nov. 1818 of fever ; m Ann Isabella Barry, dau of Thos. Barry (brother of Andrew Barry, above) and Ann Isabella Smith of New Kent county, Md. Ann Barry, b 22, Jan. 1797, Staunton, Va., d 28, Nov. 1876. After Dr. McCue 's death Mrs. McCue married John Allen (son of Jas. Allen and Elizabeth Tate). Wm.

He married Miss Ann Isabel Barry, like himself of Scotch-Irish descent, who survived him more than half a century. She married John Allen, who removed to Michigan, and founded the city of Ann Arbor, calling it in honor of his wife.
Dr. William McCue died in Lexington on the 18th day of November, 1818.— W. McL."
There seems to be a slight error in the above, as it is found that Ann Isabella McCue married second, Capt. James Allen (of the War of 1812), from this union was born a daughter, Sarah, who married Dr. Addison Waddell.
