Dear Boyt,
I grew up about 2 miles from Paw Creek (a favorite stomping ground of my
grandparents with their tag-along grandson), and you're right... tons of
Cathey
relations buried there. Aside from being descended from the Mecklenburg
Catheys
two different ways, other branches of my family married Catheys,
including my
Uncle Ralph Underwood, who married his cousin (once through the Beatys
and twice
through the Catheys) Harriett Campbell.
BTW: Paw Creek Cemetery survey is online through the Mecklenburg GenWeb
page.
I have quite a bit of info (some of it from Donna Joy Johnson, most of
it mine
own) that I would be glad to send to you.
Kind regards,
Philip
