David
James McCartney
David James McCartney married Margaret Ann Devore August 22, 1832 and
had ten
known children.
Note: David James McCartney's g-g-grandson took the ftdna.com Y-111 DNA test in September 2016; the same Y-111 DNA test taken by the researcher four years earlier and processed at the same lab. Results indicated the researcher and David James McCartney's g-g-grandson's DNA matched with 85% certainty four generations back and with 98% certainty eight generations back. This genetic evidence clearly linked the researcher's ancestor Robert Isaac McCartney as a probable sibling of David James McCartney.
Furthermore, an Ann (Sanford) McCartney was residing with her son David James McCartney and family in the 1850 Federal Census of North Strabane Twp., Washington Co., PA.

Unknown son #6
Footnotes: There was an obvious connection between McCartney and Devore families in the early development and settlement of PA and OH as they migrated west. Several marriages between the Devore and McCartney families occurred. Three of Ephraim's children married a Devore; and Robert Isaac McCartney's son's (Jacob R. McCartney) daughter Lydia, was buried next to a "Wright Devore" in Glendale Union Cemetery, Cardington, OH, evidently another Devore relative.
The 1850 Federal Census of Mt. Pleasant Twp., Jefferson Co., OH lists another
possible McCartney relative--Robert McCartney (age 43, born about 1807), wife
Margaret (age 36) and children George (18), Elizabeth (16), Robert (14), Samuel
(11), Louis (10), Alfred (8), Joseph (4), and Margaret (2). Jefferson Co.
borders Columbiana Co. where other known relatives of Robert and Lydia Martha
(Runk) McCartney lived.
