Children Benjamin Cradit (1811-1980), James McKinney (1812-1886), Jacob Risley (1814-1882), Pruda, Milton (1822-), Milla, Fred Olin (1829-)
From The Erway/Ervay/Ervey Family An American Family, the Descendants of Conrad Ervay by Charles Eugene Erway, III
In 1823, Conrad Jr. purchased 201 acres near the village of Burdett in the Township of Hector (now in Schuyler County), neighboring his brother Charles and overlooking Seneca Lake. [Conrad Jr. and brother Charles F. both married daughters of the wealthy owner of the Fall Creek Mill in Ithaca, Benjamin Cradit, whose 1823 Will gave them their land in Hector, where they cleared forest and traded "ashes" for "grapes" root stock 1823-1826, according to Cornell Univ. Library records of a local store in Hector Falls, NY]. In 1829 Conrad and Jane sold their land but as of the 1830 census Jane remained there with the children. She later moved a few miles south to Havana [Millport, NY], where in later years she lived with a family of niece Jane Cosper Hendry. Conrad Jr.'s sons James McKinney, Benjamin C., and Jacob Risley (a/k/a "Rice," my great-grandfather) settled in Hector. [Jacob's son C.E. built the old brick house overlooking Seneca Lake, now the home of Chateau Reneau Lafayette vineyards]. Several of Benjamin's sons later moved on to Harrison Township, PA, where one ran the Erway Hotel; ones of James' went to Kansas. In New York, which is still the most populous state for Erways, perhaps a third or more of the Erways statewide are descendants of Conrad, Jr.
