How Do Liz,
The furthest I have got back with the Mississippi Catley's is
James who was born in Columbia, Mississippi 03/07/1833.
The family moved to Fayette County, Texas and then to
Youngstown Ohio.
Will send you what I have tonight.
Tim

Hi Tim,
As a matter of interest the Catley's you found in Mississippi where do
they
come from. Reason why I ask is that Benjamin Catley had slaves and we know
that they adopted their masters surname in the past. If you want to send
me
over your info I will see what I can do in the evenings.
Liz

Subject: [CATLEY] Catley/Cattley US Census
I have done a little exercise of extracting Cat*ley from the US Census
Records which comprises some 740 names and then making a comparison to see
how many fall into the "known Cat*ley tree" category.
These "knowns" total some 333 entries and relate to members of the
following
trees :-
Thomas of Bottesford
Stevan of Normanton
Robert of Garforth
Edmund of Bilton
John of Nova Scotia
Emery of Midsomer Norton
James of Barley
John of Leeds
The most predominant trees by far, are those of Robert of Garforth and
Edmund of Bilton and to a lesser extent, Emery of MSN who were all coal
mining families where key elements emigrated to the Pennsylvania
coalfields
in search of better prospects.
Whilst the "knowns" comprise around 45% of the total it was a surprise to
learn that about 20% of the total consist of an African-American content.
I
had one such family already identified (James of Mississippi) but this
tree
only accounts for a small portion. Exactly why/how they adopted Catley
(there are some enumerated as Cattley) is a mystery with the exception of
James of Mississippi where the family concerned have already given me the
answer.
The remaining 35% "unknowns" concern white Europeans where interestingly
the
majority seem to have been born in the Southern American States although
there are a number who give their place of birth as England.
I do not yet have access to the American Records of Birth and have had to
rely on others to do some work for me here in attempting to pinpoint
individuals but the results are disappointing with very few births
matching
the census details.
If anybody is interested in looking a bit deeper and seeing if more
positive
identifications can be made, I am happy to send you my extract which is in
plain Excel and covers 14 census less of course the 1890 enumeration which
is not available.
Regards
Tim Cattley
