Thanks for sharing this information. Our McCarty ancestors were in Lancaster County in 1829 and perhaps earlier. I am curious to know if there was a connection between the many McCartys of Bucks County and those in Lancaster County. I would think there might be a connection. Anyone else have any ideas on this?
