Notes about Dennis McCarty

[Kellie Crnkovich.ged]

Dennis McCarty, immigrant; also McCarty Index Dennis McCarty, prob. identical with the Dennis McCarty, Ensign in the Susquehanna War 1676, married Elizabeth Billington, dau/o Luke Billington Dennis died 1694.
Deed:  Dennis McCartee of Rappahannock County.  then patent 26 Oct 1692 from Gov. Francis Nicholson.  Next entry:  15 Sep 1691 grant descr. on east and south side of a branch of the Wicomico R. in Northumberland Co.  "It is clear ... in the colony as early as 1675, ... best evidence is that in March of that year, he married an English lady, Elizabeth Billington, dau of Luke Billington of Farnham Parish, now Richmond but then in Rapp. Co ....he and his wife lived in or near Farnham Parish in 1678, since the register of Farnham Parish Church on file in the County Clerk's Office at Warsaw, VA, carries entries of the births of two of their children:  "Catherine, dau of Dennis and Elizabeth McCarty, April 10, 1678, and Daniel, son of Dennis and Elizabeth McCarty, March 10, 1679."  Dennis McCarty d. 1694 as the probate of his will clearly shows."  Order Bk No. 1, Richmond Co., will adm. probate on 4 Apr 1694; also, Vol. 17, William and Mary Quarterly, "I am informed by the County Clerk that the Book containing the record of Dennis McCarty's will is lost with Will Book No. 1. However, the probate on COB says his children, Catherine and Daniel, were minors, nevertheless enter in the probate proceedings."  [Note by Mary Lou:  I think 1668 is date given for marriage of Dennis and Elizabeth in book American Marriages Before 1699]. See Daniel McCarty. Clancarty:  On p. 72 Miss McCarty says Burke (Armorial authority) gives the arms of Clancarty and Viscount Muskerry, attainted by (king) William in 1690, as those engraven on the silver.  Title restored 1721.  She mentions House of Munster.
------------------
An esteemed genealogist, Reverend Horace Hayden, mentions in an article 20 serving pieces of sterling with a McCarty crest, that of a knight, and said he did not doubt Daniel was of the Mount Cashel McCartys.  Hayden thought there was one Thaddeus b. in 1739, but there were two McCarty men of that name.  See also Complete Peerage, listings Mount Cashel, Muskerry, Clancarty.  In VA Wills and Administrations, p. 275, Macarty, Danl. 1680 w.(will) Accomack (?). Also named is Macarty, Denis 1702i (indexed) Princess Ann Co. VA, and Denis Maccarty names son Daniel and dau Katherine, minors, as his children and co-heirs.  George W. McCartey, Ldn (Loudon) 134A, is listed, p. 283, Felldin's Index to the 1820 Census of VA.  One Daniel MacHarty, 1680, America, is in Coldham's, ?perhaps the one who d. 1680, Accomack?  Huguenot John Fontaine's early 1700s diary (recently published) mentions visiting tax collector Daniel McCarty and discussing prospects in VA, and indicates he was told they were not good which might have been due to waterways as means of travel and also the problem with fevers.  Oxford Directory of Irish Families reports several McCarthys were kings of Munster, one was king of Desmond.

The McCartys were loyal to the Stuart kings and were Episcopalians and served in the church in many ways in America.

Daniel McCarty b. 1830 md. 1853 to Angeline Zimmerman and he resided in Champaign & Auglaize OH had a son Enoch who had a son Benjamin Harrison McCarty.  See listing of John McCarty.
Daniel McCarty-- there are a number of others, all covered in Miss McCarty's book.

On p. 95 she quotes Old Virginia Days and Ways, Reminiscences of Sally McCarty Pleasants, ed. by her dau. Lucy Lee Pleasants:  "My grandmother McCarty (Sarah Mason) had ten sons and one daughter ...
Cedar Grove' became the scene of continued frolicking. ; Fox-hunting was a favorite pastime, especially of Daniel, the eldest son.  One day when the chase had been unusually long and hard, he became separated from his companions and followed the quarry until, after many doublings and windings, it ran unexpectedly into the wooded lawn of a gentleman's home.  Daniel rushed after in hot pursuit to find himself confronted by a beautiful young woman in whose arms the fox had taken sanctuary.  With flashing eyes she dared him to touch it and he instantly concluded that the little animal must be a pet in the family.  Confused and contrite, he threw himself from his horse and, hat in hand, stammered his apologies.  Alas!  the fox got the better of the hunter that October day, for Daniel was so hard hit that he never rested until he won the spirited damsel for his wife.  The temper, however, that had seemed so charming in the maid proved less attractive in the spouse.  Poor Uncle Daniel died before he was forty, and his friends were accustomed to say in speaking of him that in chasing the fox he caught a vixen."

By Revolution, several little Daniel McCartys were drummer boys, on both sides.

[Mark Jones.ged]

Capt. Daniel McCarty was exiled by the treaty of Limerick.  He was a scion of the Irish house of McCarty.  His silver is all blazoned with the shield and crest of that house, and some of it bears the date of 1620.  Though the tradition is that he was the Earl of Clancarty, it is more likely that he was the son of Mount Cashell, the head of the younger branch of the family, as the helmet on the arms is a Knight's and not an Earl's, and that his people merely considered him the Earl after the elder branch became extinct, as represented in Ireland by the younger branches than the Colonial one.
21 Sept 1675 received a land grant of 250 acres on East shore of Lynn Haven, Lower Norfolk.
Will proved 4 Apr 1694.

DENNIS MACCARTEE, Maccarty, Macartie, or Macartagh, as his name is spelled in the Va. Land Books, is believed to have been the first of the name in the Colony of Va.  He rec'd, Sept. 21, 1675, a grant of 250 a. land on the E. shore of Lynn Haven, Lower Norfolk, of which 100 acres were assigned by Edmond Moore, and 100 were a grant for 2 head rights.  (Land Bk. VIII., 179.)  Dennis Macartie sold to Adam Keeling 250 a. land formerly belonging to Thomas Allen, in "Linhaven," 1675. Edmond Moore sold to Dennis Macartagh 150 a. land in Eastern Shoreof Linhaven, 1675.  (Records of Lower Norfolk Co.)  He also rec'd, Oct. 20, 1691, with Adam Keeling, 400 a. in Princess Ann Co.  Mr. Dennis Macartie, of Rapp'k Co., in 1691 rec'd grant of 250 a. in North'd Co. on a branch of Wicomico. ; (S.)Bishop Meade says (II., 573): "The McCartys are an ancient family, springing from Daniel and Dennis McCarty, who are first mentioned in 1710." If the Bp. is correct, these two were either father and son, or brothers.
DENNIS MACCARTEE or McCARTY, of Norfolk Co., Va., 1675, m., pro., Billington,(*) as Capt. Daniel names his grandfather Billington in his will. It will be noticed that Capt. Daniel names his eldest son Dennis, who also names one of his sons Dennis.
(A Geanealogy of the Glassell Family, page 85)

Dennis McCarty (spelled MacCartiein the Virginia Land Books) is believed to have been the first in the colony of Virginia, says Hayden in his "Virginia Genealogies."  It is probable that others of his connection followed him to America, as will be shown farther on.  In September, 1675, he had a grant of 250 acres on the Eastern Shore, Lynn Haven, Lower Norfolk (Land Book, VIII, 179), which he sold that year to Adam Keeling.  There was a grant also (in 1691) of 400 acres in Princess Anne county.  Mr. Denis MacCartie, of Rappahannock county, had a grant (1691) of 250 acres in Northumberland county.  In 1686 he was "attorney for Mr. John Rice," and died about 1700. ; "There wan also a Denis McCartie, of Princess Anne, in 1693," says Rev. Horace Hayden, "who was old, poor and lame."  Bishop Meade (Vol. II, 573) says: "It is an ancient Virginia family, springing from Denis and Daniel McCarty."  They were prominent in York, Richmond, Stafford, Westmoreland and Fairfax counties.  Daniel was Speaker of the House of Burgesses, 1715.  Rev. Horace Hayden adds, that Capt. Page McCarty wrote him, in 1884, that Capt. Daniel McCarty was a scion of the Irish family of McCarty, (or McCarthy,) and that he had some of his silver, "all blazoned with the shield and crest of that house.  Dated, 1620." And, though the tradition was that he was the earl of Clancarty, it is more likely that he was the son of Mount Cashel (head of the younger branch of the family), as the helmet on his arms is a knight's and not an earl's, and that his people merely considered him the earl, after the elder branch became extiuct, as represented in Ireland by younger branches of the family than the colonial one in Virginia.  Daniel McCarty was King's attorney for Rappahaunock in 1692.
Denis married 1668, a daughter of Luke Billington, or Bullington, of Rapp, who died 1672,and had issue: (1) Daniel, (b. 1679--d. 1724), Burgess and Speaker, married (I) Mrs. Payne, (II) Ann Lee. widow of Col. Wm. Fitzhugh, of "Eagle's Nest," who died 1713.
