Message Board Post:
I am researching Mary A. Cathcart, wife of Benedict Remington, Jr. of Mendon, MA.
She was born around 1798 in Nantucket to Jona(than) Cathcart and Margaret UNKNOWN. The
vital record lists "Jona" as her father, but after taking a look at it, I
believe the transcriber simply abbreviated Jonathan.
There is a Jonathan Cathcart (b.1741), son of Gershom Cathcart, son of Robert Cathcart and
Phebe Coleman, but apparently he never married and he was living in Tisbury, MA. This
probably isn't the guy.
I have found another Jonathan Cathcart living in Nantucket and who was in the Quaise Poor
House in 1840 and appears the right age, except I have no idea what his connection is to
Robert Cathcart.
I can only assume this Jona[than] Cathcart is a relation since he's living in the same
area at the same time, but I don't know where to go from here. It's pure
speculation, but he's probably the grandson or great-grandson through another son of
Robert.
If you have any information, I would greatly appreciate it.
