I have recently found some connections between my McCARTY family and the
William HAYS family in Smyth County VA. I have a copy from a book which
gives several marriages between these two families in the early 1800's.
Briefly, my new details are: Enoch McCarty (b. 1753) mar. Elenor
Morgan. When she d. as a widow in 1837 in Smyth County VA, a number of
her relatives bought items from her estate. Her children's married
names included HAYS, BATES, and a John M. CAMPBELL whom I cannot
identify. This Enoch is thought to be the son of Darby McCARTY.
Enoch and Elenor's son, also Enoch, mar. Mattie HAYS, and one of their
sons was named Campbell McCARTY (b. 1818 probably in Washington County
VA). He was my grgrandfather, and the reason I have always thought
there might be a CAMPBELL connection. There was also an earlier man by
the same name who fought in the Revolution.
If anyone has any hints for further research, or wants to have any of
the HAYS connection information, please contact me.
