Leo Richard McCarty ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10}

  General Notes:

Leo's mother, Mary Drugan is thought to have died between his birth and 1900. Leo is found in the 1900 Census living with his father and his step-mother. However, by the 1910 Census, Leo is found living with his widowed maternal grandmother. In his obituary, it states that his mother died at his birth but the timeline does not correspond. He was thought to have been born in 1894 and his mother died in 1895. His birth year is somewhat in doubt with 1895 being an alternate date which could mean that his mother did indeed die at his birth.
