Ruth I will study the information that you sent me and see what I can find. I only know that my James H. McCarty was born in KY. I know that he deffinately had a brother named John A. McCarty who lived obvisously not to far from James and Susannah because he told about visiting they frequently. Maybe this will help. Would you happen to have anything about a John A. McCarty . And here we go again I have no idea what the A stood for in his name. This is really interesting because my mother and I always figured that perhaps James H stood for James Henry McCarty but we have never been able to come up with anything to prove what his middle name really was. . He signed everything James H. McCarty. This is very interesting because I never knew of their daughter ever being married to a Barnhart. I do have a copy of where Susannah McCarty applied for a pension form James H McCarty having been in the service and there is a statement in it where Susannah states the correct name of their daughter is Iola Alice McCarty.and not Ola Alice McCarty. I figured that Ola was a nickname. I have found where other members of this family married by their nicknames. My mother is deceased now but Ido remember her talking about a Kaufman family. I just could not remember form where and how. Please let me know if you have anything on John A.
