Message Board Post:
Bob,
Do you know of any marriages between the Catheys and persons named Sanders in Sumner
County, TN, circa 1790-1820?
In 1797 "John Cathey of Rowan Co., NC" acquired 200 acres on the West Fork of
Goose Creek in Sumner County. His property adjoined that of my direct ancestor, William
Sanders (formerly of Caswell Co., NC). At that time a William Cathey already owned land
there, also adjoining William Sanders. Thereafter the names Alexander, William and John
Cathey are found as witnesses to numerous deed transfers by William Sanders; and as late
as 1828 an "A. Cathey" witnessed a deed of gift by William's widow to son
Thomas Sanders (my direct ancestor) in Bedford County.
I've long suspected one or more marriages took place between the Cathey's and
Sanders, but I've yet to find any record of it. Any light you can shed on this subject
is much appreciated.
Justin Sanders.
