Hi Rhonda--
I can't help you much on your genealogy although my great grandmother was a Cathey
born in middle tennesse where I now live, and I have collected a lot of information on the
Catheys. I have not found much about my great grandmother's direct ancestors.
I am a descendent of Ephraim Daniel Peacock who built the first log cabin at Strawberry,
Arkansas in 1869. He was the first appointed postmaster, and served from August 27, 1877
through Novewmber 9, 1880. He owned all of the present town of Catheytown, AR. In 1878
he sold 10 acres to J. A. Cathey who set up a merchandise store that year. In 1880 census
he lived in Reede Creek township, AR in Lawrence County. I know this is not the
information you are looking for, but thought it might be of interest to you.
Sincerely,
Loren
