TO:parsonwilkerson1..
I apologize as I did not discover your post until today.
Unfortunately, I do not know which Country my Cato ancestor's came from.
My 3rd great grandmother, Tabitha (or Tibitha) Cato was born in SC/1810/married
(Tom)Thomas Jefferson McGee/She died in Bollinger Co. MO./1869. They had five children
including my paternal great grandmother, Eleanor.
Tibitha's father was Lewis Cato, born in SC/1796/m.Sarah ?/moved to Wayne or
(adjacent) Bollinger County, MO. as did his brother Simon. (I would love to discover who
my third great grandfather's (Lewis Cato's) parents were.)
In 1983 my husband & I moved from IL.to purchase a business on I-95, twenty miles west
of Beaufort, South Carolina where we still live. Accordingly, I would love to know if
there are any local records/info I might check out in S.C.
Thank you for your interest and offer to help. Any related suggestions and/or information
you may have will be appreciated.
