Person:George Cathey (7)

Information on George Cathey

George Cathey was born 14 Mar 1774 (source?) in Burke (now McDowell) Co, NC. He was probably named after his Great Uncle George Cathey (c1715) or perhaps his father's 1st cousin George Cathey (c1755) who lived near the William Cathey family when the younger George was born. He is a proven child of William Cathey as named in the 1826 deed listing the heirs of William Cathey selling land. He is also mentioned in the 1823 court case naming the heirs of George Cathey, deceased. There were several George Catheys, so researching them is a challenge. Other researchers have shown this particular George as "George Barius Cathey", but I don't know what the source is for that middle name. None of the few records I've found show him with a middle initial.

George Cathey married Sarah Rice ca 1800/1803 in Buncombe (now Haywood) Co, NC.
