John William McCarty is proven by FamilyTreeDNA Kit# 50257 and placed in haplogroup I2b1 to be descendant of William McCarty and Elizabeth Wilson through their son, William Wilson McCarty.
_______
Another daughter of John William and Louisa was Virginia Louise who married James A Dunn. They had five children, Kay, Irey, Grace, Frank and Stellen. Tragically the mother and father and son all died within a year and a half of each other and for a time the girls then lived with their grandparents. Some recalled working in the kitchen and one said she had to work in the fields. Irey married Oder Ezekiel Osborne and then also died very young in 1936 leaving him with six children. He was legally blind and so two of his sisters took three of the children and he kept the oldest son, 9, to do chores and daughter 8 to do cooking and daughter 5 not in school in order to be his eyes for just trying to do daily chores. All six of the children survived to be considered old age and had great families of their own.

There are two pictures in existence of John W McCarty and Louisa with a grandchild in between. They are Not of the same grandchild. I can only identify one as it was sent to me in 1990s by a descendant of Frances Harriet McCarty Lyles and on it was written that it was John William Lovelace with his grandparents. He looked to be about one so picture was dated about 1919.

The other picture had no writing on it to identify any of the three and I still do not know who the child is with the grandparents. The adults are definitely John W and Louisa.
