My ggg-grandmother was Nancy McCarty b. ca 1809 in Georgia, most likely Oglethorpe Co., but not positive. She married Job Tye there 26 January 1826, and they remained there until around 1838 when they moved to Murray Co. GA to live on the land Job won in the Cherokee Land Lottery. By 1854, they & their 5 children (Nancy Ann, John Samuel, Thomas Jefferson, Georgia Ann & Henry Miller) had moved to Carroll Co., Arkansas. The last known record I have for Nancy McCarty Tye is the 1860 US Census for Carroll Co. ARK, though her husband Job Tye & son, John Samuel Tye are buried in the Denning Cemetery in Harrison, Boone Co., Arkansas. At the time of the 1820 US Census for Oglethorpe Co. GA, the household of Sally McCarty contained a young girl of the proper age to be my Nancy McCarty, and this family was near to the family of Samuel Tye which had a young man of age to be my Job Tye (Samuel & Job are believed to have been brothers). Sally McCarty is the widow of Sherrod McCarty, having been married in Oglethorpe Co. GA in 10 Jan 1801 ~ I believe that Sally Finn & Sherrod McCarty are probably the parents to my Nancy. I believe Sally "Sarry" & Sherrod McCarty also had children Lucretia "Creasy" who married Seaborn Waggoner, Daniel McCarty who married Sarah Latimer, Sherrod McCarty Jr. and possibly a son named Thomas. So far, my research (which has been limited to date on the McCarty's) indicates the other children of Sherrod & Sally (Finn) McCarty remained in Georgia. ANY help on this family would be gratefully appreciated. This family has been like trying to find a matchbox boat in the middle of the Atlantic. ~gina thomas patterson~ Long Beach CA LET THE PEACE OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON VISIT YOU & YOURS THIS MONTH AND ALWAYS please visit my website at www.burningskyenterprises.com family album - http://www.geocities.com/ginaburningsky4/burningskyent_genealogy.html
