Now this is an interesting piece of info. This is the earliest Malinda McCarty I have heard of in the families in kentucky. I have no info on her but the name and place interest me greatly for the date. The earliest Malinda (note the more common spelling for this name is Melinda) I knew of before now is Malinda Kilgore who married Jeremiah McCarty. Her actual birth date is probably 1824, but some puyt it at 1821 because of the eroneous date on her tomb stone. Note that Jeremiah's death date is incorrectly shown as 1865 and because he appears on the 1870 Magoffin County KY census that is an impossibility. The correct date appears to be somewhere between 1871 and 1877. His father Abner McCarty is possibly the eldest son of John McCarty, son of Nicholas McCarty. This is the first McCarty family Known to have entered Ky at the fallso of the Ohio in the Company of Richard Chenoweth and Smiths of Joppa County MD by way of what is now WVa and western Pa, along the Monongahelia/ Ohio Route. The Abner McCarty above mentioned as the father of Jeremiah is one of two Abners known in this generation, as Thomas, the older son of Nicholas (or maybe even his Brother) has a son of the same name some 20 years older than our Abner who is according to the only occumentary evidence, the Scott County, VA 1850 census. There is another known Abner who passes through this area circa the same era who is the grand son of Darby and Hanah McCarty another well doccumented family who is possibly related to the Nicholas family although that is based on name simoilarities amnong the children. I know of no malindas in any of the known children of any of these families even among the daughters of sons and grand sons for the several known familie groups, however. The aboive mentioned, Malinda (Kilgore) McCarty marries Jeremiah in 1844 and does not enter KY until sometime afterward but before 1850 when they first appear on the Floyd County KY census. As I am descended fron this Family, through my paternal grandmother. IU am definitely interested in what informqtion you have on your Malinda and what sourse or doccumentation you have for it. I will bre happy to exchange any info I have on the others I have in this family.
