Additional Comments:
Although no military records or land grants or pensions have been found to date 
for Justin McCarty, he did hire an Attorney to try & receive any claim due him 
for being a soldier in the American Revolutionary War. I've been told his 
military record was probably destroyed by fire as many were. He is also listed 
in the books, "Pioneer History of Washington County Kentucky"; pg. 160, 
& "Biographical History of Kentucky" Vol. IV; pgs. 22 & 23, as being a 
Revolutionary War soldier. He is said to have enlisted in Pa., 1776 fought at 
Brandywine, & Long Island and was discharged at Fells Point, Baltimore Md.
