Okay, I see that Henry, Adruain, but he's too young to be the one who patented the
land, if that affidavit is right and that Henry is born about 1818. I'm beginning to
think you are right and the clerk was having a bad day and meant to write 68 instead of 38
years old. The most logical explanation is that William and Winney are selling Henry
Sr.'s land. Do you think both he and Polly are deceased when the land is sold? The
dates are pretty tight between the land patents and the Wm/Winney deed.

I believe the Henry Cato Jr 1829 is the son Of Henry/Polly.

Hi Henry,
The problem I am having is, which son? I don't see any Henry on the
census who even comes close...and Henry Sr. didn't have a son Henry, did
he? At least not that we know of. Of course, we don't know for sure who
belongs to whom in so many cases. That's why I was hoping we could find
something more definitive to link Henry Sr. and William/Winney. I was
hoping it would be this land sale.

According to my records, Henry Sr. was born in 1786 and would have been
70
years old in Aug 1856 His son was born 1828/9 and would have been about
28
years old in 1856. In considering a poorly written date then the date is
probably
related to the son.
