Bob this is a slippery slope. There are two distinct lines of early settlers of this group and possibly three who end up in Indiana around the same time. Infact two of those families are associated with Louisville KY. Darby's deescendants become involved in Politics both there and in Indiana. The other line is descended from Nicholas McCarty who may be descended from that same Nicholas I am looking for what anyone might have and what can be offered as proof. Especially lists of children wives and geographical references. There is a lot of wild leaps of faith around the various sites on the net and somewhere the truth lies but it needs to be carefully sorted out and documented. I have for some time been looking for the sourse among the given names of children. One name which interests me greatly is that of Abner. several children turn up with this namee descending from louisville's Nicholas and Darby and Hannah's children. I expect therefore that it originates on the McCarty side and am hoping to find the name among their ancestors. Also Williams and Richards before 1700. Bucks county seems to be an important origin point for many of the dominant early families who end up through out the colonies. because they are protestant by apparent choice I suspect that they are closely rel;ated toi the McCarty More of the time who re affirmed his allegiance to Elizabeth the first by surrendering his lands to her as a show of loyalty for her to return. Note that he was dscended from a family already pledged in loyalty to William of Orange and HenryVII. (not universal among the Clan McCarty, many of whom remained catholic and preserve the Celtic names and spelling. The McCarty More later recanted his allegiance to the crown and fled to France, returning to Catholisism. However many of these McCarty's are obviously gentry and have rather large land grants from ther Crown in the colonies.
