Sir:-
Will you please give me any information you may be able to to concerning Daniel M c Carte (or M c Carty) who fought in the Revolutionary War. Am particularly anxious to learn date of his birth . We have date of death Apr. 9 - 1829. Would appreciate very much any help you may be able to lend in finding it. I think he was born in the north of Ireland, but do not know just when or where. As nearly as we can learn it was about 1753.

Sir: - Yours of the 11th received, concerning Daniel McCarthy or McCarthy . My Grandfather always said it was McCarthy and all of the family & have ever known, although many called us McCarthy . All that we know of our Great-Grandfather Daniel was that he served in the Revolutionary War under Captain David Hopkins and Col. — Moylan . He enlisted in 1777 from Pa. We do not know his place of residence at that time, but

it was probably in or near Berwick, Pa. It was Columbia Co. I think. His widow's given name was Letitia. What we are most anxious to get is the date and place of his birth. Would also like date of his widow's birth and death if possible.
Respectfully yours.
