Message Board Post:
Does anyone have information on Lucy Cato, daughter of Daniel Cato of Greensville and
Brunswick Co., VA? I have long suspected that Lucy married my Edward Freeman, but can
find no documentation. I believe that in Daniel's will, he refers to his daughter
Lucy Freeman. From my notes: "1769 April 9, Bute Co., NC: Edward Freeman and Lucy,
his wife, of the County of Bute in the province of North Carolina of the one part, and
Daniel Cato of the Parish of Meherrin and County of Brunswick of the other part, for £35
current money of Virginia paid by Daniel Cato... 354 acres lying on north side of
Fountains Creek and bounded by... In presense of Littleberry Robinson, John Phillips, John
Caro. (Edward Freeman must have married Lucy Cato before 1766, as the will of Daniel Cato
names his daughter Lucy Freeman, wife of Edward) Bk 9 p323/4 "
Any help appreciated.
