Thomas Chipman McRae, born in Mount Holly (Union County), Arkansas, became a courier for the Confederate Army at age twelve, following his father's early death. He attended area schools and later graduated from Washington & Lee University law school in 1872. McRae passed the Arkansas bar the following year and opened a law practice in Rosston, the county seat of then new Nevada County. In 1874 he married Amelia White and together they had nine children. McRae served one term in the Arkansas House of Representatives third district in the United States Congress from 1885 to 1903. (cont.) The Department of Arkansas Heritage.
