As a side note to this discussion, some of the Catchings left GA went to TN and then on to
Texas. My branch of the Catchings settled in the Bastrop County area of TX.
Benjamin Catchings is not the only Catchings to have served in the Revolutionary War. In
2003 I joined DAR under my ancestor Meredith Catchings of Wilkes County, GA. I had to
prove his service and did so, as he had not previously been recognized as a patriot by
DAR. This was really exciting for me. So if you can trace your lineage back to Meredith
Catchings, Sr, you may be eligible to join DAR or SAR.
Note: You will not find Meredith listed in the millenium edition of the DAR Patriot Index
as this was published prior to my proving his service in 2003. Any DAR chapter can assist
you with his patriotic service.
