Richard McCarty, farmer and stock raiser, section 15, is a native of Kentucky, and was born in Woodford County, September 14, 1827, being the son of Dennis and Ellen (Tombling) McCarty, natives of Virginia. In 1830 they came to Howard County, Missouri, and remained there until Richard was nine years old, when they removed to Boone County, which was their home for about six years. After this they spent two years in Cole County, next settling at Boonville. Young McCarty received his education in the common schools of the state, and in 1850 he went to California, where he followed mining and selling groceries for about three years. Returning to Missouri he bought cattle and in 1854 went back to California, and until 1857 was occupied in trading in cattle. He then retraced his steps to Missouri, and dealt in horses and mules at Boonville. At the commencement of the late war he raised Company B, of Parson's Regiment, and was captain of the company for one year, when he was appointed recruiting officer for Gen. Price. He was in the battles of Boonville, Wilson's Creek and Dry Wood, and was made prisoner in 1863, and was taken to Fayette, Arkansas. He surrendered at Shreveport, Louisiana. After the close of the war Mr. McCarty followed farming in Texas one year, and in 1866 he again located at Boonville, where he was in the livery business until 1868. Coming to Clinton, Henry County, Missouri, he embarked in the grocery trade with Mr. Allison. After living in Clinton for about two years he resumed agricultural pursuits. His farm contains 160 acres of good land. He is a member of Tebo Lodge No. 68, A. F. & A. M. January 8, 1868, Mr. McC. married Miss Nora McCarty, a daughter of Col. E. C. McCarty. They have five children: Edward, Richard, Ruth, Burnis and Mary E.
