Message Board Post:
Paul, I think we have communicated in the past. You are a relative of my wife, Linda, who
is descended from Leicester "Lester" CATT who changed his name to CATE in the
USA. As I recall, you gave me the names of the children of William CATT/CATE and Mary
McCARTHY and their spouses' names. I do not remember from which one you descend, but
I assume that one of those children other than Arthur is your grandparent.
The information that your William is connected to the descendants of Stephen CATT and Jane
BRAY is good. William's son, Arthur F. CATT, was shown as a nephew in the household
of Lester's widow, Martha Adelaide (King) CATE, in the 1900 census for Des Moines,
Polk County, Iowa. I think that I provided you a paragraph of family information that
Lester had a brother, William, in Australia.
Linda has taken the autosomal DNA tests of 23andme, FamilyTreeDNA, and will be in
AncestryDNA's autosomal DNA database in a few months. There are other Australian CATT
descendants in 23andme's database. Have you considered that route of helping to prove
your case?
Bailey
