Hi all,
Can anyone tell me about the relationship between Henry Cato of Clay County, Arkansas, and
William Massey and Mary F.E. Massey to whom his heirs sold land? If Mary was 2nd wife and
widow of Henry, is there any record of when Matilda died, and when Henry re-married? I
can't find a marriage record for Henry 1870-1880. He's deceased by 1880,
according to listing in 1880 Clay County Arkansas mortality schedule.
Also, does anyone have access to the Arkansas death certificates, to check for Henry and
Matilda's children who lived past 1914, ie Obelia Burns (died 1920-1930, think
I've seen 1927 somewhere), and also for a death certificate for Starling N.Cato who
died 1932? These are the only two of the children I've tracked down, there might be
more who lived until the time death certificates are available. I was thinking that
maybe one of these death certificates would show their Mother, Matilda's maiden name.
Best,
Cynthia
