for those of you out there that are interested in the PURSELLEY version
of
the Pursley surname I was recently given this info from the CATHEY
list.
I
sent an inquiry with only one CATHEY surname and very little info
but
received a good bit of information.
This is the limited info I inquired about:
Mary "Polly" CATHEY married Sheerwood OSBOURNE (OSBOURN/OSBORN)
issue: Martha Caroline Osbourne 1822 in North Caroline. She also lived
in
MO & Ark and is buried in Carroll Co. Ark
Martha married James PURSELLEY (1819 - 1907) in 1841 in Raone Co. TN
issue:
Famie J 1842 - 1902 m Marcus ORRELL
Caswell 1845 - 1916 m Sarah Emley ORRELL
Mary Francis 1849 - 1944 m Jerry PATTY
James T. 1851 - 1860?
William Sheerwood 1853 - 1943 m Sarah Emily MEEKS
Sarah Lucina 1855 - 1912 m Jesse MEEKS
John J. 1859 ? m Minnie?
Malissa "Lizzie" 1862 - 1943 m Joe ERWIN
This is the information that was shared with me
Mary "Polly" CATHEY was born 19 Mar 1803, Haywood Co. NC d crica 1840,
TN?
Her husband, Sherwood was born circa 1800 in Mecklenburg Co., NC and
died
circa 1840, TN? They married 27 Mar 1821 in Haywood co.
Polly's father was George Barius CATHEY (1774 - 1828) and her mother
Sarah
RICE (1783 - 1869).
Polly and Sherwood had:
Martha 1822
Jepthah 1824
son circa 1827
son circa 1828
Sarah circa 1834
Rachel circa 1836
Thomas H. circa 1838 born Bradley Co., TN
after Sherwood's death Polly married Jacob WARREN
Now for a really silly question - what does circa stand for???
Thanks and hope this will help someone
