Although I'm sure our numbers will grow as more time passes, this still
would be a good time for us to post our research interests regarding the
Cathey family.
I'm a casual researcher at the moment (full-time job, children at home).
I have some of my mother's work on the family and have corresponded with
the Cathey Kith and Kin people. I'm trying to get things organized and
fill in the holes.
Someone asked for information about our lines. I'm a double descendant
of Alexander Cathey (son of John and Ann Cathey) and Elizabeth Pickney.
Alexander's son John Cathey and wife Mary had a daughter Mary Elizabeth
Cathey. Alexander's son William (1747-1799) m Alice (Else) Hagan and had
a son, Alexander Cathey II (ca 1774-1861).
Mary Elizabeth Cathey m Alexander Kennedy in 1788 and had son George
Alexander Kennedy (1802-1890). Alexander Cathey II m Nancy E. Saunders
and had daughter Elizabeth Cathey (1803-1874). (Sometime in here the
famililes moved from Rowan Co., NC, to Middle Tennessee.) In 1821,
George Alexander Kennedy m his cousin Elizabeth Cathey. They had my ggf
John Henry Kennedy (1847-1935). My gm was Alice Olivia Kennedy
(1875-1944), who m James Cathey Savage (no relation to Catheys that we
know of) in Maury Co., TN.
