Bingo That is the info I found earlier and can not relocate,. This fellow supposedly disappeared but the writer suspected that he was tied to the Bucks county group but found no proof. Somehow all of these tie togeather. Although the early names are all Catholic Saint names the appearance of Old Testamnt names reveal that they are converted at some recent point to Protestant, therefore are closely related to the landed families of the McCarty clan. Because of the English penal code and the English law which forbade breaking up of estates and required all the estate to pass to the oldest son the ones who emigrated were of two types, those younger sons who were disposessed of land and those who did military service to the Crown for which they would have recieved good conduct papers and land grants in the colonies. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2000 12:30 AM Subject: Re: [McCARTY-L] Re: McCarty, John and Ann Harman > Following is non documented info on this couple: > > John McCarty, b 1643/44 in County Cork or Kerry, So Munster, Ireland.
