It appears my research is leading me to the Catchings of Gonzales Tx. My GGfather's
death certificate says he was born in TX in 1845. His name was John Albert.
T.J.Catchings of Copiah Miss is the only one living in TX at the time. My only concern
is, if TJ was born in Miss, 1827 and John Albert in TX, 1845, then TJ moved to TX at 18
years old. That sounds a bit young to me...
John Albert moved to Lynchburg after the Emancipation Proclamation and then to Houston in
1888.
My GGGfather was named Daniel and probably came down from Copiah with TJ Catchings. I
will travel to Gonzales to see what I can find. But eventually I'll end up in Copiah
Miss.
