http://www.bestofneworleans.com/dispatch/2006-02-14/blake.php This references the family who spelled their name Macarty and ties in with the story of the various itterations of the Nicholls school and the downtown location. There is a family whose name was spelled McCarty which, from what I recalled and quickly looked up, that was the "Carrollton" group. And yet another group who used the "de" before their Irish name. All the McCarty's (whatever the spelling) seemed quite prominent and wealthy, as land and slave holders, with both white and "placage" families. And were even related to the Madam LaLaurie who owned the alleged "haunted house" where she tortured her slaves and eventually perished in a fire on Royal St. If you want to research further, put the name in, then a + sign then New Orleans, LA and a whole bunch of reference articles will come up. Like this: McCarty Plantation (or substitute Macarty Plantation) + New Orleans, LA. Have fun with the research.
