Thomas McCarty, son of Silas and Sarah (Carrell) McCarty,
married Elizabeth Lancaster, and they had 18 children. About 1790, Thomas and
Elizabeth moved from Northumberland County to a farm somewhere in the area
between Muncy and Clarkstown, PA. Thomas was a Presbyterian and Elizabeth
belonged to the Society of Friends (Quakers). He applied for membership prior
to their marriage, but was turned down. Although it meant she would be
disowned, they married anyway. They continued to attend the Friends Church
and, after 19 years, both were admitted to the Richland Meeting. You can
