Sorry, I am SURE that my 600 page book on the McCartys of the Northern Neck would not help you. But try to get The McCarthys in Early American History by Michael O'Brien. It is out of print but MAY give leads. Bill McCarty

Subject: Joseph McCARTY
I am searching for any records of my 5ggrandfather, Joseph McCARTY, after 1820.
I have found him in the US censuses of 1810 and 1820, which confirm the comment
in his son's biography ".... the son of Joseph and Catharine (Livingston)
McCarty, natives of the above-named state [PA]. They removed to Virginia when
John was a lad of twelve years old, locating in Lexington, Rockbridge County,
where they remained until 1821, thence went to Ross County, Ohio ...". ["Wapello
County History", Chapman Bros. (1887); http://www.beforetime.net/iowagenealogy/wapello/PortraitAndBiographicalAlbum1887/F504.html]
The 1810 US census shows:
1810 > Pennsylvania > WASHINGTON > MORRIS Series: M252 Roll:
57 Page: 95
MCCARTY JOSEPH PA WASHINGTON MORRIS 10001 10010 00
[1 male 0-9, 1 male >45, 1 female 0-9, 1 female 26-44].
The 1810 US census also shows:
1810 > VIRGINIA > ROCKBRIDGE > NO TWP LISTED Series M252 Roll 70
Page 783
MCCARTY JNO VA ROCKBRIDGE 00100 10100 [1 male 16-25, 1 female <10, 1
female 16-25]
The 1820 US census shows:
1820 > Virginia > Rockbridge > Lexington Series: M33 Roll:
130 Page: 526
MCCARTY JOSEPH VA ROCKBRIDGE LEXINGTON 011210 40001 [1 male
10-15, 1 male 16-18, 2 males 16-25, 1 male 26-44, 4 females <10, 1 female 26-44]
(This record is very light and nearly illegible.)
So it looks very much like son John went first to Rockbridge County and then
father Joseph followed a few years later and the 1820 family is a combination of
the two from the 1810 census; or perhaps an older John and a younger John are
being confused.
This is the last record I have of Joseph. I have been unable to find burial
records in PA, VA, or OH.
An older John shows up at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/va/rockbridge/images/1798/1798-028a.jpg (a
marriage bond for Betsy McCarty, daughter of John McCarty, dated 28 Jul 1798),
and
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/va/rockbridge/images/1798/1798-028b.jpg (a
note
from John McCarty agreeing to this bond).
Can anyone help find his history after 1820?
