Responding to the matter of Hugh Cathey Cathey-D Digest V98 #1 (Mike
Biggs)
Bill, I doubt that the Hugh Cathey of Arkansas was the same Hugh (son of
John) who married Jane Bailey in Rowan County, NC. A man named Allen
Cathey sent the following to Dick Cathey in 1951:
Hugh Cathey born in TN? died MO had a son named Alexander Barnett Cathey
b. MO on 22 Feb 1842 died 6 Feb 1924 Berryville, AR. Alexander served in
the Civil War and was wounded at Helena, AR. He had six children.
Hugh, son of John Cathey of Rowan County, died in TN; therefore I
conclude they are not duplicates.
The six kids of Alexander B. were: Maggie b. 1868; Julia Emma; William
George; Allen (sent data to Dick Cathey); Polk W. and Pearl May b. 1884.

him from Maury County, TN before 1850 and have a hunch he migrated to
