Carol, In Irwin County there is a marriage Thomas McGar to Gotsey Pritchard (thats the way it was spelled) of February 03, 1887. I am almost positive it is a transcribed error (I found it on the internet) and is supposed to be 1867 as the first child was born abt. 1868 or 69. Don't know why they were in Irwin County andy ideas?? There was no other McGar marriages listed so I am clueless. Dawn
