Marybeth,
Cary is looking forward to hearing from you. Unfortunately, he is not in the modern age
and still prefers snail mail. He says he will be gaining acess to e-mail and internet
once he finishes the current Katz project. He has about 180 pages of a forthcoming book
just about ready. "Ancestry of 1738 Emigrant, Michael Katz, b 1721;
His Ancestry, Relatives, and Fellow Emigrants, 16th, 17th & 18th Centuries"
He has in preparation another volume which begins where the other ends. It deals with
the 300 Emigrants from Hochdorf that emigrated in the 1800`s. Many of these were rather
close relations--third cousins of our great-grandfather. He hopes to finish this one
early next year. When the rough draft is finished, the first volume will be ready to
publish.
I`ve wandered a lot to get to the question about George Katz/Catt, the Revolutionary
soldier. In Cary`s book he gives his birth within a 12 month time frame. He found this
in some book in the Miami, FL library on Revolutionary War Soliders. The footnote in his
book is wrong. He can`t find the note he took. He was living overseas, and it may have
stayed behind when Cary came back.

Incidentely, I live near Vincennes, Indiana, where George Rogers Clark has a beautiful
monument on the banks of the Wabash River.
