Biography
McRae matriculated at the University of North Carolina as a member of the class of 1829, but did not graduate.[1] He graduated from Virginia Theological Seminary in 1835.[2] He was ordained deacon by Bishop W. Moultrie Moore Jr. in the same year, and priest by Bishop Levi Silliman Ives in 1836.[3] He was a high church Anglican.[4] From 1835 to 1838, he was the rector of Christ Church, Elizabeth City.[3] He was then the rector of Christ Church, New Bern, from 1838 to 1842.[3][5] From 1842 to 1852, McRae was the rector of Emmanual Church, Warrenton,[3] though he was also the rector of the Church of the Holy Innocents, Henderson from 1847 to January 1, 1849.[4] He was then in Massachusetts from 1853 to 1856, and in Philadelphia after 1857.[3]
During the American Civil War, McRae was a chaplain in the 15th North Carolina Infantry Regiment of the Confederate States Army.[6] At the General Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America, McRae was one of the Georgia delegates.[7] From 1863 to 1867, he was in Savannah, Georgia,[3] as the rector of St. John's Church.[8] He died in Maryland in either 1872[2] or 1873.[3]
In his History of the University of North Carolina, Kemp P. Battle called McRae "a prominent Episcopal minister" in several states.[1] McRae was the father of William Plummer McRae[9] and Cameron Farquhar McRae.[10]
