"24-21 JOHN CATO, b. ca 1770 (became 21 yrs. according to the Greensville Co. Va.
personal property tax record in 1791), m. 1st 5/6/1790 in Greensville Co.,Va. Temperance
Webb, John Webb consents 5/6/1790, m. 2nd Harriet Perry 5/25/1797, by Rev. William
Andrews, Methodist."
Temperance Webb was the daughter of John and Lucy Webb. John had brother Micajah in
Greensville / Brunswick, Va, and brother Charles in Sussex County. Their parents were
Charles and Elizbeth Webb / Southampton. (will of Charles Webb, 1758)
I had been confused about which Cato Temperance married -- John or Daniel?
Whichever, they were the son of a father by the same name. The records show that
Temperance Cato was widowed with several chilren. So the one that married Harriet Perry
could not be the same one.
Temperance Webb Cato was the brother of Charles Webb who married Delilah Ezell,
daughter of William, and eventually ended up near Pendleton and Anderson, South Carolina.
Temperance and Charles had a sister named Sally, named in the Albemarle Parish
records. There was also a brother named Micajah Webb, Jr. Just as John Webb, Jr. was not
the son of John Webb, Micajah Webb, Jr. was not the son of Micajah Webb.
The mother of Temperance Webb was most likely the Lucy Dunn of the Albemarle Records
who was born to John and Lucy Dunn. There was a connection of some sort with the Hardyman
or Bolling family. John Dunn's will in Franklin, North Carolina, mentions his
daughter Lucy Webb.
We don't know what became of John and Lucy Webb. There are few records.
Temperance Webb's first cousin was Warren Webb, son of Micajah Webb. He also
married into the Waltons.
Check out this site I found on the Cato family.
