listed with himself and 4 boys OLDER then 16......2 boys UNDER 16... 3
females OLDER then 16.... (these I have listed on the fgs) and one free
person in the household. There is also a Charles Catherwood in that area.
that is just married from the looks of things or so old that all the
children are gone........ Is this the parents/grandparents of Jesse
Catherwood that married Elizabeth Cameron in 1822 in Harrison Co., KY?
