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?
