 In 1808, on the close of Norfolk Island settlement, he resettled in Van Diemen's Land later taking a land grant (80 acres at Melville) in lieu of the one forfeited on Norfolk Island.The last few years of his life were spent at the home of Mr. William H. Budd, at the Kinlochewe Inn near Donnybrook, Victoria.McCarty was buried 24 July 1846, six months past his 100 birthday, although this is very likely an exaggerated age.
