GERAGHTY -vs- GIRTY
I have been led to believe that the rare American surname of "GIRTY" [also GERTY] is a degradation of the Irish surname of "GERAGHTY."The notorious Revolutionary War personality, Simon GIRTY, had three brothers.Additonally, I have located apparent brothers, William and George GIRTY, in Charleston, South Carolina where both died in 1817.William had just married Rachel THOMPSON and was described as "late of Dublin."Would like to know if there is a direct connection between the two surnames and would appreciate any information about William and George GIRTY of Charleston.
Thanks!
