The LeCatto family of Maryland-Virginia changed to Cato. I don't know if
I'm
related. . I am descended from Dr Charles West brother of Cato West. I'm
just

connections.
There must be.William West of Bull Run[d 1769]mMary Hychew. son William
West[d1672]m Mary Elzey sons:Charles+ Cato. Mary Hychew was said to have
:1st
m a Harrison ,then West-.then an Evans . Maj.Douglas West said he was
descended from Thomas West,Adm.of the High Seas,and related to two
governors
of Virginia. Claiborne in his book said Cato was descended from an
ancient
earldom of England....no proof. I think William West Sr. moved into
Virginia
from Penn.,Maryland,or NY? A Hychew got married in Maryland. They seemed
to
have relatives in Tanneytown. I met a Mrs Cato in Jefferson,Co. Miss.
