   HENRY McCARTY a retired merchant, P.O. Bucksville, is the 
son of Nicholas McCarty.  Edward and Thomas McCarty, with 
their parents, Nicholas and Unity, came from the south of 
Ireland and located in Haycock and Nockamixon townships.  
Four children were born to Edward, one of whom died when 
quite young.  Thomas, Nicholas and John grew to manhood and 
at their father's death inherited equal shares of the two 
hundred and fifty acres purchased by their father.  Thomas 
remained on the homestead and had two sons:  Nicholas B. and 
Justus.  Nicholas, at the age of 21, married Julia Kohl and 
had two sons, Henry and Austin, and four daughters.  Henry 
was born in 1836 on the original tract purchased by Edward, 
a part of which he now owns.  In 1871 he was married to Mary 
Ellen, daughter of Allen and Lydia McCarty, of Haycock 
township. Their children are:  Arthur, Nora, Selesta, Grace 
and Blanche.  Mr. McCarty purchased from his mother the farm 
consisting of forty-eight acres and has always led the life 
of a farmer.  He is a member of the Catholic church and in 
politics a democrat.
