Eva, Sometime back I picked up information that this fellow John McCarty who married Anne Harmon Immigrated to the colonied Circa 1617's and that the marriage between he and Ann Harman took place in New Jersey. Were this the case Your Silas and siblings would likely have been born in the colonies and not in England.I have tried without success to relocate that data. It did say that there was a supposed connection between he and the McCarty's of Bucks county but it was unconfirmed by that writer. I found this data orriginally on the internet and was very much interested in it lated when trying to find the roots of the Floyd County (Magoffin County) KY McCarties who seem to be related to the group that settled the Falls of the Ohio region (Louisville area. Somehow that family is also related to Darby and hanna McCarty. This is because of the near perfect match of the descendants given names. Just how this all plays out I am certain is a key to all the Scotch Irish McCarty's in the early Virginia and later Kentucky area, also those who end up in Indiana, Illonois, the carolinas and on to texas and Missouri. One interesting point was that Jeremiah b. 1819, son of Abner McCarty, B1798 and who is found in Scott County Va in 1850 (census), and who is likely the son of John McCarty of Louisville area As John McCarty's Father whose name is not at hand immediately, came out of Pensylvania before joining Richard Chenoweth and others (another possible son Thomas McCarty and possibly Richard McCarty) in a group of settlers who accompanied George Rogers Clark to the Falls of the Ohio to establish a Fort at Corn Island in what is now Louisville KY. The group seems to have been settled temporarily around the Monongahelia area at the time of the French and Indian Wars and several are involved in fighting there. I can not say for certain but I believe Darby who is married to hannah is either a son or brother to this John or is otherwise closely related. I was hoping to find more information on silas's siblings and what other information you might have on John McCarty and Anne Harman. Note that most records show Darby to have been born in Ireland and the date of his birth certainly goes back farenough to be a brother to John. I have traced Darby's line extensively (it is well doccumented by bible records) and although it is likely a collateral line he is not a direct ancester, dwespite the near perfect match of given names.
