Hi Everyone, Recently, I received copies of some letters that were written during the Civil War. These letters were written by Lt. John N. McCarty b. Sept. 14, 1843 in Washington, PA and d. Sept 8, 1870. John was the son of John D. and Julia Marquis McCarty of Hancock County. These letters were written to his sister, Mrs. F.V. Johnston (Elizabeth), his mother and F.V. Johnston, his brother-in-law. The letters were donated to our site by Nancy Need, who is a great-great-granddaughter of Sarah Caroline McCarty Hobbs, John's sister. I hope that you will enjoy them as much as I did. You may view them at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvhancoc/cwletters.txt Happy Hunting, Janet
