About Maj. Denis McCarty
(Major) Dennis McCarty
From page 129 of William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine. "The McCarthy Family"
We now take up the three sons of Daniel McCarty, who left issue, in the order of their age, that is, Dennis, Daniel, and Billington.
Dennis McCarty, son of Daniel and Elizabeth, married Sarah Ball, Sept. 22, 1724. She was the daughter of Col. William Ball by his wife Hannah Beale. Col. William Ball was the son of William Ball, born 1641 who was also the son of William Ball, the emigrant, by his wife Hannah Atherold. William Ball, the emigrant, had another son named Joseph Ball, whose daughter Mary Ball was the mother of George Washington. Thus the descendants of the marriage of Dennis McCarty and Sarah Ball are blood relatives of our first President. We have already seen that Dennis received by the terms of his father's will all the testator's lands in Stafford County. This land lay in the portion which later became Prince William County and later still Fairfax County. In 1732-41 he was a vestryman of Truro Parish. In 1741 he was the only McCarty on a poll list of Prince William County (Fairfax was formed from Prince William in 1742). On Dec. 13, 1739 he bought 522 acres in Prince William County of John Minor. This deed was witnessed by Jno. S. Sherman, M. Lawson, and John Allen. On Dec. 16, 1740 Maj. Dennis McCarty of Prince William County, patented 1220 acres in Prince William County on Goose Creek in the name of his son Thaddeus McCarty, who at that time must have been very young.
Dennis McCarty, gent., of Prince William County, made will Mch 18, 1742, probated Jan. 20, 1742-3 in Fairfax County. It was witnessed by William Payne, William Sherman, Richard Sherman, and John Sherman (these witnesses were probably related to the testator on his mother's side). Mentions land bought of John Hereford in Prince William County; land lying in Stafford County on the Acquia.

Mentions joiner John Allen. Brother Daniel McCarty, gent., of Westmoreland County, friend and kinsman John Minor and son Daniel are appointed executors. The will was proved Jan. 20, 1742-3 but not admitted to record until Apr. 21, 1743 at which time the court appointed wife Sarah as executor. The John Minor mentioned as kinsman in the will was related to the testator probably through his mother's side, that is, the Pope line.
We follow now the children of Maj. Dennis in the order in which they appear in the will, that is, Daniel, Dennis, Thaddeus, Sarah, and Ann. ...
