Peggy & Charlotte: I found a Timothy McCarty in the 1870 Census (Index only unfortunately). This man is in Jefferson County, WVa......he is a white, male....60 years old....born in Ireland. You can find full info on Roll 1689 of the microfilmed census - Page 542. I know it is not your "final" solution, but it should get you there! Good Hunting...........Lee Roland Jenkins
