About Thomas Carrell McCarty

from David Bailey's research about Silas McCarty and Sarah Carrell and their descendants:

<http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pasulliv/settlers/settlers45/sett...>

"THOMAS McCARTY, ninth child of Silas McCarty and Sarah Carrell, was born 12 Apr 1741, died in Muncy, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, 9 Oct 1804, Lucetta McCarty Wilson records indicate that he was buried in the graveyard at Pennsdale Monthly Meeting; married 1765 Elizabeth Lancaster, twelfth child of Thomas Lancaster and Phebe Wardell, born, probably in Richland, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, 26 Aug 1749, died in Quakertown, Bucks County, 26 July 1806, having returned there after Thomas's death.

    Thomas McCarty was raised on his father's plantation in Haycock Township. He was probably reared and educated in the tenets and faith of the Presbyterian Church, and identified with the old Tinicum congregation established among the rugged hills of Tinucum Township prior to 1740. ...

Despite his Presbyterian roots, Thomas McCarty, a mason by trade, was associated with the building of the Friends' Meeting House at Quakertown in 1762.

    Elizabeth Lancaster had been strictly reared in the faith of the Society of Friends. Both of her parents were accepted ministers and traveled extensively in "the service of truth." (see note below on Lancaster family) Thomas McCarty applied for membership in the Society prior to his marriage to Elizabeth but, though the committee appointed to investigate his character reported favorably, his admission was opposed by some members of the meeting and he was denied membership. The marriage took place though Elizabeth was disowned for marrying outside her faith. They continued to attend the meeting however and, after nineteen years, were both admitted to membership in the Richland Meeting.

Thomas and Elizabeth McCarty settled on a 40-acre farm in Richland inherited by Elizabeth from her father. They lived there until 1775, then sold the farm to William Foulke, together with fifteen acres of land bought from Moses Lancaster, 5 Dec 1767, and moved to Northampton County, residing there until 1794 when the whole family moved to Muncy, Northumberland (soon to be Lycoming) County, Pennsylvania. They took certificates from Richland Monthly Meeting of Friends to the Monthly Meeting at Exeter, Berks County, then the Monthly Meeting nearest to their destination. They were soon followed by several of the children of Thomas's brother, Benjamin."
