Information on Rebecca Cathey

Rebecca Cathey was born before 1765 per her age on the 1810 census.

Robert Patton and wife Rebecca were named in the 1823 Court case as heirs of George Cathey, Rebecca being his daughter.

I cant be sure if Ive identified the right Robert Patton, but if I have, he was born ca 1740/50 and lived in Burke and Buncombe County. His wife (Elizabeth Cathey) was born before 1765 and died between 1820 and 1830.

Years ago Lawrence Wood sent me a family group sheet of this family, similar to one on Elijah Patton (and Robert and Elijah are supposed to be brothers). I have no documentation for this family, so I don't know if it is accurate, it looked something like this:

Robert Patton born 1742 (fits with 1830 census) died: 11 Nov 1832 Gibson Co, TN Rebecca Cathey no dates (my data shows born before 1765, died 1820/30) Children:

Sarah Patton married William Edmundson
James Patton (? NC - ? MS)
Ann Catherine Patton (? NC - ? TN) married Hance M. McWhorter
Margaret Patton (? NC - ? TN) married Abner Burgin
George Patton (1786 NC- 1840 NC) married Nancy Patton (d/o Aaron)
Elizabeth Patton (1788 NC - 1860 TX) married James Patton (s/o Elijah) and 2nd David Crockett (U. S. Congressman from Tennessee, and hero of the Alamo.)
Matilda Patton married Peter Trosper
Rebecca Patton married James Edmundson

I cant prove any of it right now. Keep that in mind before you use it.
