Bob because of the name and the locality I am tempted to relate this Richard to the Nicholas McCarty Line in the Louisville settlement. Ther are no children named Richard that are documented for him but he is suspected of being the father of Captain Richard who has one known child, John Wiley or Wiley. This information was from either Conelly's account or wlsey's which was mentioned earlier and it is somewhat suspect but the subject of much research by the indiana descendants of this family. Therer are many early Indiana Illinoise McCarty's listed on the Land Patent site of the bureau f land managment's site located under US Government agencies, bureau of Land Management the original documents have been electronically coppied and can be dpwnloaded in tiff format dirrectly from that site for any one interested. Most of the early settlers as I said are descended from either Nicholas Or Darby McCarty. As many of their children have the same names it may be difficult to unravel. without picking up information on these two families which are fairly well doccumented in several sites connected to roots web. I am interested in what else you may have about this family because of the location in South Eastern Kentucky so close to the Virginia panhandle.

Steve, I am getting so confused, I forgot that I have Sarah's death cert., & on it, it states that she was born in KY, name of Father McCarty, birth place of Father KY., maiden name of mother Millie Darby, but I'm sure it was Davis I think ???? & Millie (Milla) was born in KY. Sarah was born Sept. 7, 1840, & died Dec. 10th, 1928 in Dallas Texas. I also have a picture taken shortly before her death, along with her daughter Elizabeth Gee Cayce Highsmith. Elizabeth was the one on the death cert that gave the information. She is buried in Grove Hill Cemetery in Dallas, Texas. On the 1850 Carter County, KY. census it also lists Dewit as Milla's son, age 11, I can't find any trace of a Dewit anywhere, you would think that would be easy to find unless Dewit was him middle name or a nick name. Then there was Eliza., she was age 6 in the 1850 census, & I have no information on her either. Sarah got married on Oct. 12, 1862 to William Gee in the home of Mrs McCarty in Boyd County, KY. On her marriage cert. it states that both parents were born in PA. This is so confusing, Elizabeth was getting up in years when she gave Sarah's death cert. info., but you would think she would know who her father was besides McCarty, & her mother was Milla not Millie, on all the census's I have she is Milla not Millie, & father's last name Davis, not Darby, how confusing. There you have it, if you would like a picture of Sarah & Elizabeth, let me know, you can email me here, Thanks. Bob Kunau [email protected]
