I'm from Indiana. My ancestors are from Owen and Putnam County Indiana. I too descend from Aaron H. McCarty and his son Cornelius(named after his grandfather, the first Cornelius) and his son Preston McCarty. Aaron Hardridge (Hardwick) McCarty married Nancy Beavers from the Hardin/Meade County, KY region where his father Cornelius and brother Thomas McCarty had moved to from the Stafford/Fairfax region of VA after their father, James died in the late 1780s or early 1790s. Thomas and Cornelius's father was James McCarty. James had two daughters, Nancy and Betsey who married into Crook and McConathy families. James McCarty, father of Thomas and Cornelius, was married to Nancy Bosley, daughter of Thomas Bosley, a merchant in Alexandria, who may have been Scotland. Evidence suggests that James and Thomas Bosley were part of the early Catholic community and may have origins in Maryland where more early Catholics settled. Of course the McCartys were originally from Ireland. After Catholics lost favor in the colonies, including Maryland, most converted to some Protestant denomination to better fit in. I have much info about the McCartys in Owen and Putnam county if you desire.

Russell, This is interesting. The bosley family is well representeed in both southern Maryland and Virhinia. Most claim English roots and anglican religion. On this McCarty line of James and Cornelius what documentation do you show for the connections to your ancestor? Also are you aware of any connection to the Daniel McCarty (father and son of the same name who are tied into Brian fairfax and so mentioned in his personal papoers at the Library Of VA) line of that area? As far as I can tell this family is clearly Protestant which stems from prior to their imigration to the colonies as a part of retaining their lands durring Elizabeth or William of Oranges time. They were allied to the Crown from the time of Henry VII to whom the mcCarty More pledged support. which had something to do with his aid against two rival clans in their region. Although some did return to their Catholic origins afterward. I believe the story has it that their religious conversion was in the time of Elizabeth I, who also required that they turn over their land to the crown for her to restore as an act of allegiance.
