McCARTY GENEAOLOGY James Largent McCarty Wife; Ellen Brooks 1804 - 1854 Died from Cholera Charles Willard Children; Cholera Cemetery in Gainesville, Ms. was bulldozed by Corp of Engineers in 1964, only witness is Charles^owler May 22, 1831 - 1897 Sarah Feb.4, 183^ - Feb.9,1901 John May 11,1835 - 1884 Robert May 1837 - Dec. 30, 1913 Reuben Abt. 1839 - Abt. 1886 Rachel Elizabeth Aug. 14, 1841 - Nov.26,1874 Mary Matilda Aug. 1843 - Nov.11,1915 Matilda was born in Ms. The others were born in Alabama. James wife is buried in Gainesville, Ms. James, John and Rachel is buried in Cedar Grove cem. at Nicholson, Ms. Rachels gravestone has her middle name on it. The Whitfield records claim Rachels name is Harriet Elizabeth and the Mormon records claim her name is Elizabeth Pekay McCarty. They are both WRONG. Some geneaologists can not read Spencerian and because of this, some records show James Largent McCarty as Sargent McCarty. Sarah married John E. Whitfield Jan.10,1824 - Mar.8,1892 Married Dec.25,1854 No children John McCarty married Louisa Mitchell Oct.10,1847 - Dec.11,1932 Married June 23, 1866 No children Charles is buried in Pearlington, Ms. Robert and Reuben .is buried in Turtleskin cem. on Hwy. 607 with no markers. Sarah had to take care of her brothers and sisters after her mother died in 1849. After her father died in 1854, John E. Whitfield married her and they took care of the children. They also took care of her sisters children after she died in 1874. It is a possibility that she had so many children to take care of, that she did not want any of her own.
