Mary gave birth to their first daughter Anastasia (or Annie as they called her) in April 1867 - the first daughter of Jim and Mary Clarke McCart in the Old Town neighborhood of East Baltimore.
Annie was the oldest daughter and was twenty-three-years-old when her mother died. Of course it was expected that she cook the meals, clean the McCart house, and care for her younger brothers and sisters and cousin while her father continued to work hard down at the docks. By the time all of her siblings were adults she was in her thirties. She was a short and stocky woman and her light brown hair had turned white and she wore eyeglasses. Annie put the skills she learned helping her mother deliver her younger siblings and caring for them to good use. She went to work on ‘confinement cases' where families would hire her to live with them and give nursing care to the mother and her newborn infant for weeks after the baby had been delivered by a doctor at home. Annie also ‘tended' to her many nieces and nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews after their deliveries. In the 1930 Census, Annie McCart was living with the Charles and Esther Amos family at 105 Bellona Avenue probably taking care of 3 month old daughter Winifred. After her father died, the Madison Street house was sold and Annie, now 47 lived with her brother Joe and family on Ensor Street from time to time. She helped her sister-in-law prepare family meals. Her niece Margie McCart remembered her Aunt Annie as being a kind and sweet woman. Annie loved to play with pet cats. Annie died at the age of 64 and was buried at the McCart family lot at the old Holy Cross Cemetery on March 8, 1932.
