Mardee, you must be my mother's cousin. My grandfather was Robert Junod from Lamoure,
ND. Our branch of the Cathcart family were Scots-Irish from the Ulster Plantation that
immigrated to Northumberland Co, PA. They were poor or middle class farmers, nothing more.
I have researched this line an we have no real ties to "Lady Cathcart" or Cluny
Castle. William Cathcart was a minister however, and I have an old painting of him and I
have his old leather bound prayer book. Our family did fight in the Revolutionary War so
ties to Scotland had been broken for generations before Lady Cathcart was around. I have
more information if you would like to e-mail me at charles(dot)submerged(at)yahoo(dot)com
