James Cathey born c. 1685 Ulster died c. 1757 Rowan Co., NC. Recently we
have concluded that he was the son of Alexander Cathey and wife Margaret who
never came to America.
John Cathey b. 1667 Ulster died 1743 in PA was his (James') older brother.
John's second wife was Ann ???? who apparently had a Cathey husband prior to
marriage to John. John had a will that has been a great help.
There was a George Cathey b. c. 1700 who was a son of Ann by her first
husband. This George came to America & died in Rowan Co, NC (we think). His
widow Jean and grown sons moved to Meck. Co., NC where Jean died in 1777.
She is buried at Steele Creek Pres. Ch. near Charlotte Airport. George and
Jean are my ancestors.
Can you provide additional data on the three Cathey men? There are a few
other early Catheys however we know little about them. There was a John
Cathey who appeared in Canada in the late 1790s. Where did he come from?
Some of his sons migrated to CA and MI.
There are many many Cathies in Scotland during 1750-1900 period who could
have come to America and changed the spelling from Cathie to Cathey.
