Isaac Edwin Crary (October 2, 1804 May 8, 1854) was the first elected U.S. Representative from the state of Michigan. Crary was born in Preston, Connecticut, where he attended the public schools and graduated from Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut, in its first class in 1827. He studied law, was admitted to the bar, and commenced practice, while also assisting in editing the New England Weekly Review at Hartford. He moved to in Marshall, Michigan, in 1833. He was a delegate to the State constitutional convention in 1835 and upon the admission of Michigan as a State into the Union, he was elected on October 5 and 6, 1835 as a Jacksonian to the Twenty-fourth Congress. However, due to Michigan s dispute with Ohio over the Toledo Strip (see the Toledo War), Congress refused to accept his credentials and he was seated as a delegate until Congress admitted Michigan as a state of the Union on January 26, 1837. He was elected as a Democrat to the Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth Congresses, until March 3, 1841.
