To the List, Is there a family census listing for each household with children published for the 1850, 1860, or 1870 census of Harrison County, VA? I would like to know where to go to look for the family of Timothy and Eliza McCarthy. They had a child, Mary Jane McCarthy (or Mary Ann) born August l5, 1854 Clarksburg Virginia according to her death certificate. I have contacted West Virginia with no success for a birth record. Are birth records kept by the state or by the County? Timothy McCarthy was born in Cork County, Ireland and married Eliza Smith, born 4-4-1837 in Ireland. Her parents were Jane Hughes and James Smith. Mary Jane McCarthy married George Wm Watson 6-23-1874 probably in St. Louis. If anyone has suggestions on how to follow up, I would be ecstatic. Thank you all so much for all the interesting news and information you are posting. I am a newby.

If so please send me an e-mail if you would be willing to look something up for me. The census not the index.

Hi Peggy, Harrison County Census for 1860 lists: McCarty, Timothy, Ire, Laborer Frances, 28 VA James W., 7, Va Henry T., 5, Va Mary J, 3, Va John W., 2, Va Charles 9/12, Va Michael, 50, Ire, Laborer There are no McCARTHYs listed in either 1850-1860-1870 Don't know if this could be the family you are looking for or not Birth records are kept by both county and state. Official records were not kept until about 1853 but not all families began registering births, etc in the early days.

Hi Charlotte, Thank you for responding so quickly. It's close, but I think there were a lot of mistakes made back then--Frances and 28 years isn't promising because Eliza lived a long life and she wouldn't be 28 until 1865. Thanks again, it's a lead.
