Dear Cathey Cousin:
I have some data that will be helpful.
As best researchers can determine, Morris had mother Jane Cathey. His father
and the father of Morris' brother have not been identified.
The 1827 will of John R. Cathey (Jane's father) says:
"I give unto my daughters Jane and Molly one feather bed one cow and calf
each when they come of age or marry."
The 1850 Dickson Co., TN shows Morris age 21, and his mother Jane living in
the household of Jane's (Jennie's) widowed mother Margaret Cathey who was
the wife of John R. Cathey who was born before 1775 and died 1828.
The 1860 census (Dickson Co.) shows Jennie as household head with son James
age 9. It appears that he (James) died in a military hospital during the
civil war.
I show his full name as William James.
My data on David (son of Morris) agrees with your data.
If you find errors or find additional data I will be pleased to receive it
