Notes for HANNAH AGNES CATHEY: From Genforum.com post: Re: Hannah Agnes Cathey, b early 1700's Posted by: Pat Mondy Date: March 16, 2000 at 19:01:10 In Reply to: Hannah Agnes Cathey, b early 1700's by Catherine Koon of 1174 Hannah was the daughter of John Cathey born in Ireland. I am a descendant of their son Richard Graham, Jr. There is some speculation that Hannah died and Richard married someone else named Agnes as this is the name she uses in her will. However, since Agnes was sometimes used as a nickname for Hannah, many researchers believe she was only Hannah Agnes Cathey. You probably already know the Grahams were in early Maryland but by 1749 had been a part of a new settlement in what then was western North Carolina near Salisbury. I would love to have more information on the Cathey and Graham families. One source is Carolina Cradle by Ramsey.
