Biography

'Michael McCarty born 1732, died 1854--age 122 years.' So reads an entry in the Bible of James McCarty, great-grandson of this Michael. James copied the entry from the bible of his father, Tillman McCarty,son of Philip McCarty, son of Michael.

This Michael McCarty was born in Edgefield, South Carolina.

In the 1810 census of Edgefield, South Carolina, the home of these McCartys, there are at least three Michael McCartys. In the Revolutionary history of this section of South Carolina, four Michaels are found. In 1820 two Michaels still remain in Edgefield, but in 1830 no Michael appears in the census at all.

Mrs. Eula McCarty Lansford of Crockett, Texas, says, 'My father told me that his great-grandfather Michael lived in Jefferson County,Alabama, and that he once owned the land on which Birmingham now stands and leagues and leagues besides.' Her father, Michael, was brother of James and son of Tillman.

A Michael McCarty of Jefferson County, Alabama, lived in Short Creek and owned land there, but diligent search has not shown that he was a large land owner in Jefferson County.

On July 18, 1834, Michael McCarty sold land to Amos Lea for $300. It is listed in Book 5, p. 153 as N.E. 1/4, Sec. 20, Township 17, Range5, west. John B. Ayers is witness. The deed was signed 'Michael McCarty' and 'Nancy McCarty.'

However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Michael:

During my Data Doctor rounds, I noticed this profile is on my check-up list for Data Doctor-Error 209: Father is also a sibling. You can read more about this here on the help page for this suggestion: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:DBE_209.

The profile needs to be evaluated and make the necessary changes. I appreciate your help and please let me know if I can help you in any way!

Also Have you checked your suggestion list? I work mine every week, it is so helpful. I learn a lot watching the videos and correcting errors.

Thanks,

Debbie

McCarty-2283 and McCarty-1695 appear to represent the same person because: same name; same birth data. The 1854 death date must be a typo - he would have been over 120 years old!!
