If you run into anything on this character, I would like to know. I only
recently found this Caton and haven't any William T in my database of
Caton's that looks like a match.

Hmmm. Interesting, Robert -- the ages for these two Andrew Caton listings
are the same. Just wondering about the "1st wife Ellen (don't want to see
her)" Where does this "(don't want to see her)" come from (original
record?) and what might it mean? What is a traveler do you suppose? If
bigamy, I suppose polygamy might not be too far a stretch, especially if
Ellen might be his second wife and Priscilla his first. It could be the
same man. The name William as father's and son's names might be relevant.
I think I'll look into finding William T. Caton w/ five children. I wonder
if the Aaron I posted earlier may be this brother of Andrew's. I'll say
one
thing. The name Andrew wasn't repeated in my family line.
