Michael McCarty Iowa
Michael was born Feb 12, 1839 in place unknown (date was determined from his death records). Died Dec 24, 1893, Mahaska Co., Iowa. His great grand daughter said he was known as a ventriloquist and I hope only a practical joker as he has sure lead us a merry chase.
In four different official records Michael gave four different places of birth; Ireland, MA, IN, and KY. In his final marriage (maybe #3?) he gave KY as a birth place and his parents names were William McCarty and Eva Boman. Do these names sound familiar to anyone? I have not been able to find either name in any KY records.
From 1864 until he died in 1893 he was a common laborer and lived in either Tracy, Marion County, IA or Mahaska County, Iowa.
Would love to hear from anyone who can help fill in a few blanks and will gladly share what little information we have.
