James MacCarty
1769 Feb. 14 - James MacCarty per order of Jacob Orndt to pay (probably
taxes, as it is listed in the Treasurer's Accounts of Northampton Co., PA.)
Jacob Orndt appears to have collected many taxes and served as a Justice of
the Peace in the vicinity of Forks Twp. as late as 1778.
Hope this helps some. There could have been two James McCarty or just one

I visited Milford last weekend for the first time since about 1990.
I took a small group to visit the Tom Quick statue. I was surprised to
see it was no longer there.
I asked a number of locals but no one seemed to know what happen to
it. A guy in the diner seemed to think some political correct people
tore it down.
Anyone know what happen?

Hello List,
I am sorry the scanned list I sent to Hellen was difficult to read, I should have typed it out for her, but here is the list as published:
A LIST of the people killed, and the Houses burnt, by the Indians at the Minisinks
Killed, viz.
3 .... John Rush, his wife, and daughter
1 ..... Lambert Brink
10 ... Benjamin Tidd and family
1 ...... Matthew Rue
7 ......Daniel Williams, his wife, and 5 children
1 .......Piercewell Goulding
11 .... Mr. Head and 10 of his family
17 .... Cornelius VanAken and
In a section of her book "That Ancient Trail", Amelia Stickney Decker includes information on incidents, such as Indian raids, which occurred during the French-Indian War.
One of her references is: "A List of Persons killed in the latter part of December 1755, numbered 78 in the Pennsylvania Minisink, among them one Gilbert Van Camp and family. (N.J.A., V. 19, 569)."
I am assuming that her source for the "List of 78 Killed in Dec 1755" was New Jersey Archives, Vol.. 19, pg 569.
Am I correct?

Went through that 3 or 4 years ago..
Indians errrr, I mean, Native Americans vandalized it. It was taken down to
be repaired. It is at a local metal shop. The owner would not let me see
it because he is under some "gag" order not to.
The fearless comminute leaders are not apt to put it up as they don't wish
to OFFEND anyone... so it is hidden. All that was damaged was the plaques
at the base.
Guess those of us that are down line to Tom Quick's daddy who was butchered

Have you checked out the McCarty's baptised at the RDC Machackemeck? There
is only one Philip McCarty. Does not sound like your man, but he could be
related.
Philip McCarty bp June 23, 1754. Parents: James McCarty and Elisabeth Mey;
witnesses Philip Windemoet and his wife Maria Juliana Huber.
The marriage of a Philip McCarty to Polley Vandemerck on Jan 22, 1788 is
listed in RDC Machemack records. Perhaps you have already found their
marriage. I did not see baptisms for their children in these churc
I want to share with you information Marilyn sent to me. This is
information published in a different newspaper. It is from the PA Gazette
December 18, 1755 issue and provides more names of those killed or burned
out in 1755. It also has some different spellings on the surnames.
Keep reading... for what was published in the January 22, 1756, edition of
the PA Gazette. This account is a letter from John Van Etten about the
killing of Thomas Quick, Sr., and the attack on his (VanEtten's) place.

William DeCoursey's website does not list all the names of the 40 homes
that were burned. The scanned copy I have does. The scanned copy did not
print out well on my printer. It is a bit fuzzy and since I do not
recognize the names of most of these people, I may not get them exactly
right, so bear with me. Here are the names of the owners of burned houses
as best that I can read them:
William James, Sr.; William McNabb; Robert Allison; John Atkins, Esq; John
Po---; Robert Haras (Harris?); Thomas
Marilyn, the below message was posted by you a while back (OK so I am slow)
anyway the date for the article shows Jan 22, 1756. It states that Thomas
Quick age above 70 was killed.
I have the date he was killed as Feb 17, 1756. Obviously, the article could
not have come out before the happening, so one of is wrong. If your
articles date is absolute, I picked up some bad info.
Could you double check the date that article was printed?

I am researching the McCarty family of Pike County, Pennsylvania. The oldest relative I have been able to research is Philip McCarty who served in the Revolutionary War. b. 18 May 1759 in Upper Smithfield Township, Northampton, PA. d. 01 Jan 1832 in Upper Smithfield Township, Pike Co., PA. His wife was Mary (Polly) VanDermerck. They had nine children. Is anyone doing research on him? Has anyone been able to verify who his parents were?

I want to thank Barbara on the Pike Co. PA list for finding the list of 78 persons who were killed by Indians and the list of houses burned in the PA Minisink area (then in Northampton Co., PA) in late 1755. This information was sent in a letter from the Union Iron Works dated Dec 20, 1755. The letter was published in a newspaper at that time. It can be found in "New Jersey Archives, Vol. 19" which is listed by libraries as Colonial Documents Relating to the history of New Jersey, Vol XIX, Vol. III.

I hope there are some Van Garden researchers on the lists. I am stuck on who the Van Garden parents might be for this Van Garden daughter. Based upon the church record and where the groom lived, her Van Garden parents could have lived in NY around Port Jervis, in Sussex Co. NJ, around the RDC Minisink, or on the PA side of the river where Matthew Winans was raised 1767-1787.
