Aloha Molly,
It's been 10 years since you've posted. Are you still around?
Ann Eliza is most likely the daughter of Joseph Cathcart b. 1794, York County, South
Carolina and Margaret Mann Cathcart.
I've met two of Joseph's descendants who live in New Orleans, LA (near Natchez);
Abbey Ann Adams and Charlen Hill Womack.
Joseph was the first son of John Cathcart, b. 1763 Antrim, Ireland who immigrated to the
US in 1783.
Joseph was a successful plantation owner in Natchez, Mississippi and had in his
possession, deeds to a mill in Scotland until they were destroyed in violent storm. This
deed has provided a link to the Cathcarts of Carleton in Scotland.
I'm a descendant of Joseph's brother Pearson b. 1795.
I believe Joseph is buried in New Orleans, LA.
