Pictured below are George W. and his wife Elmira (Hadley) McComas.

George was born in Kentucky about 1833 and Elmira was born in Kentucky about 1842. Both moved to Barry before the Civil War.

According to Stan McKay (third great-grandson of the McComas'), "A lot of researchers into the Hadley and McComas line that came to Barry before the civil war from Kentucky believe that a George Washington McComas and his spouse a Elmira (it has been spelled many different ways) Hadley are buried at what is what I believe is the old Hadly homestead because there is a tombstone with their name there. I know that they came to Saskatchewan, Canada about 1910 to join their son George Wahsington McComas Jr. and passed away there. I saw their graves in the Shellbrook Cemetery Saskatchewan and have their death certificates from Saskatchewan. I believe that they purchased the marker from some salesman just in case."
