She was married to Alexander MCAFFEE (son of James MCAFFEE and Martha MCMICHAEL) on 17 November 1825.

"Alexander and Jane McCarty were among the early pioneers to the far West. In October 1838 they with their family of five children, migrated to Roscoe, Illinois, by wagon and horseback, stopping for a time with friends in Michigan, with whom they left their women-folk, while they themselves pushed on, and finally located claims on the banks of Rock River, about one mile from the village of Roscoe, in northern Illinois. Mr. McAffee paid $400 for his claim of 400 acres.
Here they erected a double log-house, and returned for the women and children.
Chicago, ninety miles distant, was their only market, and their produce was hauled there, and goods for their use brought back, for many years, by wagon. Here they reared their family of nine children. Both Alexander McAffee and his brother John, who accompanied him, were prominent in the community and occupied positions of trust.
Jane McCarty died April 9, 1878."⁽⁶⁾ Grave memorial stone
