My great-grandfather is Israel Nicholas McCarty. he is the son of William and Tabitha Horn McCarty. He says he was born in White Co., IL. (Source is marriage records from 3 wives). My great-grandma who was his 3 wife says he was born near McLeansboro, IL.(source is children's delayed birth records and his death record.) Oh, He was born in 1851. The only place I find him is 1860 Fulton Co.,AR living with his uncle John. His parents are in this same place in 1850. I assume they died before 1860. Researchers have said that Tabitha's mother was a Elizabeth Mcglothin before she married unknown Horn. She remarried a Israel Dewey in 1841 White Co., Il and they moved to Fulton AR. There is a Henry Horn who died before 1840 in White Co and i keep thinking he could be the father. I just don't know how to determine who is related to who.
