1831 overland from Tennessee to Illinois. Apparently they both died in Illinois. When
George Edwin Cato died, the estate was divided among children. Rufus Cato sold his
portion to brother-in-law Jim McPheron (Cathern Cato's husband)./ Euphemia was living
with daughter (Cathern McPheron) in 1882 when Euphemia died at age of 82. On some of the
