Descendants of Steven Creech
Generation No. 1
1.) STEPHEN CREECH
Stephen left a will which appears to have been destroyed as there is no record of a division of the estate or appointment of an administrator. It appears that this Stephen had a son named John Creech, Sr.

Generation 2
JOHN CREECH SR (STEPHEN CREECH) was born Bet. 1770 - 1774 in Ashe County NC. He married
SARAH ARMSTRONG.
John appears to have been married three or four times. His first wife, Peggy Wells and the third was Sarah Armstrong, who was born in North Carolina in 1788 and was still living in 1850. It is suggested that there may have been a wife named Sally Hall. The census of 1830 (probably Harlan Co. Kentucky) lists John Creech Sr. with seven boys at home and eight with own households (15 boys!). Four girls married and four at home (8 girls!) This would total 23 children.
