Helen I don't have anything to connect Amanda with, don't even have a birth year or census with her on it. Only have a marriage record and they only recorded the names in that time period. The McCarty family I found in the Vermillion County, Illinois 1860 federal census are as follows... page 155, Illinois, Vermillion County, Vance Township, reel 653-233, enumeration date 27Jun1860 line 34, dwelling & family #1103 McCarty, John, 50, M, Farmer, 2270, 700, VA McCarty, Muim?, 46, F, OH McCarty, James S, 16, M, OH McCarty, Elizabeth, 14, F, Ill McCarty, George, 11, M, Ill McCarty, Alvin, 9, M, Ill And on page 156, living with a family by the surname JONES McCarty, Aaron, 5, M, Ill You know, I hadn't really looked this over until now, but with the wife and oldest listed child being from Ohio, maybe I should look there for Amanda. As John wrote me off list, some of his line (not McCarty's) traveled from Vinton County, Ohio to Vermillion County, Illinois. Amanda could very well be an older child to the McCarty's I found.

She died in a smallpox epidemic in the early 1860's. Her husband and one child survived. He remarried in Douglas County, Illinois, in 1864. I haven't been able to find them in either county in the 1860 census, but did find a John McCarty & family in the 1860 census, living in Vermillion County. I don't know if this is her family, but was hoping someone may know something. I have connections in Vinton County, Ohio, but they are not in this line. After reading your postings I thought I would ask.

Do you have anymore? There are multiple lines that made it into the Ohio area if that is where your Amanda came from.
