I am trying to gather information about my grandmothers side of the family.
In particular, Dennis McCarty/McCarthy, Born about 11-20-1808, Died about 11-12-1868. He was born in Ireland, moved to England when he was about 20 and worked their until he earned enough to book passage to America. After coming to America, it is believed he changed his name from McCarty to McCarthy.
My family records indicate he was married, but the only name I have is Sally. Their reported children are:
David Byrl McCarthy B:1862 in Virginia, USA, Betty McCarthy B:1838, D:1908, John McCarthy, Charles McCarthy, Eugene McCarthy, Mary McCarthy

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
