Dave,
Thanks for the information. This sure is interesting to track down. It seems that the report that some Eckert book states that Nicholas McCarty died at St. Clair's defeat is false- nobody has been able to show the page number of that statement. Perhaps the originator of that report got mixed up with the interview that you shared of Lyman Draper with an acquaintance of Nicholas and Thomas McCarty, where exactly that was stated. Dave, could you please share the reference of this interview, such as page number and microfilm reel number, or whatever else is needed for us to find it? That would be great if you could.
To the extent that this Lyman Draper interview helps us FURTHER consider that Thomas McCarty (of Ann Scott) and Nicholas McCarty (both born in the earlier part of the 1700's) are brothers and not father/son, we might also then consider, from the same interview, that Nicholas died in some manner associated with St. Clair's Defeat. Given Dave McCarty's report that his name is not part of an official record of the battle, it is easy to understand how Nicholas might have died early in that campaign while yet far from the battlesite, though not officially. All this is easy to understand for a man of his advanced age. In that situation the later interview could be a correct memory and yet Nicholas NOT be found in records of the battle or its mission. I do not know if Nicholas was so involved, or not- all this is to try to resolve, as in my earlier post, the several vague reports that come around from time to time about these men.
To any interested, I changed my name back to my real name: Clint Jones. The Bauer name was not my real name, ever, and so I finally made it right again.
