   THOMAS Y. McCARTY merchant, P.O. Bucksville, was born in 
1850.  Thomas and Edward McCarty, two brothers, came from 
Cork, Ireland, to America about the year 1737, and purchased 
two hundred and twenty-three acres of land in Haycock and 
two hundred and fifty in Nockamixon.  Edward took possession 
of the land in Nockamixon.  He is known to have had two 
sons, Nicholas and John.  Thomas is presumed to have had no 
children and adopted his brother's son, John, as the latter 
came into possession of the land in Haycock township at the 
death of Thomas.  John had three sons and one daughter.  One 
of his sons, Nicholas, was the father of three sons, Ross 
Thomas, John D. and Paul Abner, who was the oldest, and who 
married Louisa McIntyre, who bore him seven sons and two 
daughters.  Paul died in 1869.  His widow is still living, 
at the age of 77.  Thomas Y. was the youngest son.  In 1877 
he married Isabella McCarty.  Four children have been born 
to this union:  Leo, Angels, Roscoe and Alacoque, all of 
whom are now living.  Nine years ago Mr. McCarty located at 
his present place, where he carries on quite an extensive 
business, dealing in general merchandise.  He has also a 
farm, the work of which he superintends.  He is a member of 
the Catholic church and a republican.
