Message Board Post:
I very well may be searching in the same area of interest as your message. Only I am
working from a Hugh CATHCART, b.in 1803 in NY, per the 1850 U.S. Census in Conneaut,
Ashtabula, OH. Hugh had a son, Solomon, and Solomon had a son Wallace H. CATHCART who is
noted in Hist. of the Western Reserve, 1910, p. 1435 & 1436. In a biographical sketch
of himself, he mentions, "his first American ancestor was Robert CATHCART, who
settled at Martha's Vineyard in the middle of he 17th century". In the 1930
Census, Wallace H. CATHCART states that he is a "director of the historical
society". See he is living in Shaker Heights, Cuyahoga, OH. He was b. 2 Apr 1865 in
Elyria, OH.
If this is of interest to you, please let me know.
