Hello Julie One reason you can't find anything is that the family name is usually spelled MACARTY or DE MACARTY. There were several branches of this family--one owned land upriver in what is now Carrollton, one owned land downriver in what is now the Bywater, and one owned land in St. Bernard Parish near the Chalmette Battlefield. I've working on a research project on this family, and will send you some sources if you contact me off-line (carolynlong@earthlink.net). Also, if you're in New Orleans and spend time at the NOPL, you will probably meet a lovely lady named Sonja McCarthy (yes, I know, that's not the way it was traditionally spelled), who has compiled an incredible genealogy on the Macartys of color. > [Original Message] > From: Julie Campbell Hernandez <juliech@cox.net> > To: <LAORLEAN-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: 03/30/2008 9:45:09 PM > Subject: [LAORLEAN] McCarty Plantation > > Hi, Nova! > > Does anyone know anything about the McCarty Plantation? The only thing I can find is that it was located in what we now know as Carrollton and the house on the plantation eventually became the Court House for the Carrollton. The plantation was annexed to the City of New Orleans in 1833. > > What I really need to know is who built/owned/lived in the McCarty Plantation. I can find nothing on the McCarty family with regard to the plantation. > > Any ideas? > > Julie Hernandez > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to LAORLEAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > -- > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG. > Version: 7.5.519 / Virus Database: 269.22.5/1359 - Release Date: 04/04/2008 8:23 AM
