For what it's worth, while at the library I went through a number of dictionaries from the time period and none included the word creachery. Several did include the word creachy.
creachy,
1. See creechy
2. Broken down, dilapidated, infirm; sickly, ailing
creechy,
1. Of things: in bad repair. Of persons: poorly, weak, sickly, ailing, feeble.
