Gail - My first proven ancestor was Enoch McCarty, b. 1753 in VA. He
appears to be the son of Darby and Hannah Richardson. (You mentioned
your ancestor was also a son of theirs). I am still trying to find
proof that my Enoch was their son. Can you steer me to any sources for
their family (other than undocumented internet listings)?
Enoch married Eleanor Morgan and they had a son, Enoch Jnr., who married
Mattie Hays (1st) then Nancy Gillespie. One of his sons by his first
wife was Campbell Alexander McCarty - my gr. grandfather (b. 1820 in
Washington county VA). Please contact me if anyone has more information
on these lines, or needs some of my sources.
