[edit] About Patrick McCartyPatrick McCarty was born in the county of Tyrone, Ireland in 1730. He, with his wife and one child came to the Patterson Creek Manor area in 1755, with a close friend, Windell Miller. The two men built a long log cabin on Lot # 8 of the Manor, on property that the were leasing. The two men were stacking flax in a field (now a part of the Whipp farm) in the late summer of 1761, when a roving party of Indians under the leadership of "Killbuck" attacked them. Wendell Millar was killed instantly. McCarty tried to escape to a block house called Fort Cocke on the hill across the creek from the farm. While he was climbing a fence, the Indians overtook and captured him. He was taken by them to Ohio where he was later burned at the stake. His body was taken back to his home in Patterson Creek Manor to be buried. His grandson Isaac later had the headstone (as shown in the photo above) placed at Patrick's gravesite as a memorial.
