His education was confined to the district schools of that time. In 1843, he married Margaret Templeton, born Jan. 24th, 1834 (a descendant of the John McNary branch). For some years he lived on his father's farm in North Strabane Twsp, but on Apr 1st, 1848, he removed to a farm 2 and 1/2 miles north of Washington, PA, where he continued until Apr 1st, 1854, when he removed to North Strabane Twsp, where he lived until 1891. At that time he left the farm and purchased a home in Houston, and made that his home until his death, Sept, 29th, 1892." "Their church home was first in the Chartiers Seceder Church, Canonsburg, afterwards the Chartiers United Presbyterian Church, of which he was ordained and installed as a ruling elder May 12th, 1864, serving until his death." "Samuel McNary, while not enjoying the privilege of a higher education, always took a deep interest and an active part in promoting the educational interests of his community." "In politics, he was originally a Whig. After the organization of the Republican Party in 1856, he identified himself with that party, not as a partisan, but as an independent thinker, voting for the right as he saw it." "They reared a family of 13 children, as follows: Jane Edgar, Margaret, Mary, Anna, Isabel, Elizabeth, Ella, Samuel Edgar, David Templeton, John, Joseph V, James Martin, and Emma." From: "Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, PA," 1893, by J H Beers and Co, pg. 541, transcribed for the 'Beers Project,' USGenWeb, by Bridget Osz of Steubenville, OH, July 1997: "Samuel McNary [deceased.] No family has been more prominently connected with the history of Washington County, and no name is better known than that of McNary. Samuel McNary is a grandson of Thomas McNary, and a son of David McNary, who was born in Scotland, and coming to Pennsylvania when yet a lad, was afterward married to Jane Edgar, a native of Ireland. Their son, Samuel McNary was born Jan. 22, 1822, and passed his boyhood in usual pursuits of rural life. Two weeks after attaining his majority, he was united in marriage with Margaret, a daughter of David and Margaret [Martin] Templeton, both of whom were natives of this county. Mr. and Mrs. McNary began wedded life as tenants, but when his father died, he inherited 140 acres in North Strabane Twsp, to which they removed, and where they resided until Oct. 6, 1891, when they located in Houstonville, Chartiers Twsp. They reared a family of 13 children, as follows: Jane [wife of George Black], Margaret [deceased], Mary [deceased wife of James Pollock], Ann [living at home], Belle [Mrs. Samuel Berry], Lizzy [married to James Kelso], Ella [living at home], Edgar [married to Luella, daughter of William Morgan], David T [married to Almeda Clark], John [married to Jennie Whitely], Joseph B [married to Mattie Pattison], James Martin [who married Lizzie Hess], and Emma [at home.]" "Mr. McNary always took an active part in promoting the educational interests of his community, and in politics was an ardent supporter of the Republican party. He was a member of the United Presbyterian Church in which he served as an elder for many years, and with which his family are connected. He passed away Sept. 29, 1892." From same source, pg. 729 under David E McNary: "The following children came to their union...Samuel (who is a very large man, weighing 330 pounds)..."
