Boyt Cathey's book lists William Henry Cathey, b.c. 1824, Cooper Co., MO;
m. Nancy Owen Driskell, 2 Apr. 1846; d. 6 Nov 1862.
William Henry is the son of James Cathey and Nancy McClanahan. James
Cathey (b 16 Mar 1790, Mecklenburg Co., NC,, m. Nancy Mcclanahan, 13 Nov
1821, Pettis Co., MO; d. 1845, Pettis Co., MO) is the s/o Capt George
Cathey and Margaret Chamberlain. I believe that either James' brother John
or Joseph is the father of my gg grandfather John Cathey, who came to
Humboldt County, CA in 1851-2.
You might write to Boyt Cathey <BCathey(a)worldnet.att.net>. Another source
is Charles Hammond at <CHamm99980(a)aol.com>. Both of these men are very
knowledgeable on the Cathey family.
Good luck!

I am looking for any information on William H. CATHEY. What I have so
far
is:
He was supposedly born in MO
His wife's name was Nancy F. DRISKILL b: 1819 AR.
In the 1880 Izard Co., AR Census Nancy is listed without her husband. I
am assuming
that means he is dead by then since he is also not in the 1900
Census.
Does anyone know anything about this line?
