William F Carty was my G-G-Grandfather. The family story is the same. I'm descended from William's son Robert Joseph (named for his brother killed in civil war) to Robert Boniface Carty to Robert Joseph Carty (my father) Do you know Bob & Gail in South Carolina? They have all the history on Laura Carty's descendents. I have lots on the Cartys and am working on filling in the gaps. My email is rosec8569@aol.com

Does anyone out there have any information or suggestions on how to find a (primary) marriage record for Prudence Drusilla's marriage to Captain Joseph OGLE? She was born in 1748, the daughter of of Benjamin BIGGS, Sr. and Henrietta P.D.M. MUNDAY. Her siblings are: Catherine, m. Capt. James Moore, d. IL Capt. John m. Abigail Burt/Brown/Smith? Henry Benjamin, Jr. m. Priscilla METCALF William m. Nancy MUNDAY & Nancy JUDY LUNCEFORD d. IL George m. ? ANDERSON, d. IL? (lived there for a while) Thomas m. Sarah BAINES, d. IL? ( ") Joseph m. mary DALEY/DAILEY Zaccheus m. Susannah TETER Mary m. ? MOORE? I have made several trips to WV and MD and found Ben. Sr.'s marriage record to Henrietta MUNDAY, but can find nothing on Prudence & Joseph. I just proved Benjamin BIGGS, Sr.'s (civilian) service in the Rev. War. (He was too old to fight, but recruited, provided food and 7 sons to either the Rev. War or the Indian wars preceding it.) I belong to DAR via Capt. Joseph OGLE and several other ancestors and have applied for a supp. via Ben. Sr. However, I can find no primary record for the marriage of Prudence Drusilla BIGGS to Capt. OGLE, only secondary records. The DAR won't accept the secondary records. Prudence was probably born on the Biggs place in Monocacy Manor, Frederick Co., MD or around Fort Patrick Henry, now Wheeling, WV. Probably married in what is now WV, but I'm not sure. She died in WV and her husband and children, sister, several brothers all came to IL and took land grants. Capt. OGLE remarried Jemima MEEK/MIEGS WHITE and had several more children. He died in Ridge Prairie, IL (St. Clair Co.) I would greatly appreciate any and all help. Janet >
