RN=691 in Cathey book Special thanks to Lawrence Wood (deceased), Guy Davenport, Dottie Jackson and others for data shared on this family. William Cathey was born 15 Apr 1782 (per his Family Bible). His birth place is somewhat interesting. His 1850 census entry gives his birth place as Virginia, though by all accounts, he ought to have been born in Burke (later Buncombe, now Haywood) Co, NC as that is where his parents were in that time-frame. However, since the 1850 census is the only primary record we have for his birth place, Im going to leave it as Virginia, but with a question mark attached. His father was an officer during the Revolutionary War, and it is quite possible that while he was off involved in that, that his wife went to Virginia to visit relatives and had William Jr while there. There is also the possibility that the 1850 census record is in error. William Cathey is a proven son of William Cathey and Rebecca Holeman. He was named in two deeds naming the heirs of old William. William (Jr) would have been about 8 years old by the time of the 1790 census. His father William had 4 sons in the "under 16" age group (born ca 1774/90) with him in Burke County, North Carolina, one of them is certainly William Jr. In 1791, Buncombe County was formed from a portion of Burke County, including where the Catheys resided. For the 1800 census, William (Jr) would have been about 18 years old. His father William had two sons age 16-25 (born ca 1774/84) with him that year, one of them was certainly William Jr. William Cathey Jr signed an 1806 Petition asking for the creation of a new county from western Buncombe County. This county (Haywood) was formed in 1808, and included the area where most of the Catheys lived. Sometime between 1800 and 1809, William Cathey married Elizabeth Bryson, in either Buncombe or Haywood County. No marriage record has been found, but her great grandson James Harrison Cathey (1866-1929) wrote up a family history recorded in his Family Bible, and he mentioned her (he was 6 years old when she died) and he spoke of her being a Bryson and gave other information on her family. Elizabeth Bryson was born 3 Apr 1787 (per William Cathey Family Bible) in Rowan (now Iredell) Co, NC. She is a daughter of Andrew Bryson and Agness Naill. Other than James H. Catheys writings, I have seen no direct evidence that Elizabeth was a Bryson. The family bible record did not give her maiden name, nor a marriage date for her and William Cathey. However, I have no doubts that she was a Bryson. This is what he wrote about her. This was published in some book or newsletter, but I dont know where, for I only have a photocopy of one page. An old letter dated 23 Jun 1958 from F. A. Cathey of Gastonia, NC to Mrs. Ann Deaver Johnston mentions this family bible, and says that he copied it from the original James H. Cathey Family Bible in the possession of Humphry Posey Cathey of Sylva, NC. "My fathers grandmother on his fathers side was a Bryson. She was a brave, chaste, fullblooded Irishwoman. I remember distinctly in my childhood of sleeping with her at my grandfathers house ... Her father Andrew Bryson was a Revolutionary soldier. He was a most intense patriot, a man of great personal bravery. Of course he was a Whig of the most prominent views. He hated King George and the name Tory with an undying hatred. The Brysons were Protestants. The best I can say for the men who compass the immediate lines of my ancestry on the Bryson side is that they were and are whole soul, impetous, rugged and true Irishmen, the most guileless race of people on Gods great earth." They were listed on the 1810 census in Haywood County. There were three Williams listed. William Sr (his father), William Jr (his cousin William Cathey-1777) and this William Cathey. The census was alphabetical, so I cant determine who were neighbors to who. William had one extra male and extra female with him, who could be siblings of his or of his wife. 1810 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) 1810 Haywood Co, NC pg 60 William Cathy 11010-10200 Analysis: 1 Male(s) 26-44 (1765-1784) William CATHEY (1782) s/o William & Rebecca 1 Male(s) 10-15 (1794-1800) Jacob CATHEY (1790/94) brother 1 Male(s) 0-9 (1800-1810) Andrew Deaver CATHEY (1809) son 2 Female(s) 16-25 (1784-1794) Elizabeth BRYSON Cathey (1787) wife Sister? (1784/94) --> gone by 1820 1 Female(s) 0-9 (1800-1810) Daughter? (1800/10) --> gone by 1820 There are several deeds and other records found in Haywood County for the various William Catheys but it isnt always easy to tell which is which. There was William Cathey Sr (1741-1812), William Cathey (1777-1864) and this William Cathey (1782-1850/60) under study here. They had no middle initials, so if they attempted to distinguish themselves, it was by "Sr" or "Jr" to reflect the elder and younger, but not to distinguish any particular relationship between themselves. For example, after the death of William Sr (1741-1812), the next William (1777) began using "Sr" and our William (1782) began using "Jr". These two men were 2nd cousins to one another. Williams father William Cathey Sr died in 1812, and in three deeds William Sr gave 1/6th of his estate each to three of his sons, including William Cathey Jr (and also to James Cathey and Daniel Cathey). I dont have the details of these deeds yet. (Haywood Co, NC Deed Book A page 255). There was a William Cathey who served in the War of 1812 as a 1st Major in the 7th Regiment of Lincoln and Rutherford County, North Carolina. I dont think that was this same William Cathey, but it could be. In 1814 a deed was made from William Cathey Srs estate to William Cathey Jr. I dont have the details yet. (Haywood Co, NC Deed Book A page 303). William Cathey was listed on the 1820 census in Haywood County. Once again the census was alphabetical, so I cant determine who his neighbors were. 1820 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) 1820 Haywood Co, NC pg 215 William Cathey 310010-00010 Analysis: 1 Male(s) 26-44 (1775-1794) William CATHEY (1782) s/o William & Rebecca 1 Male(s) 10-15 (1804-1810) Andrew Deaver CATHEY (1809) son 3 Male(s) 0-9 (1810-1820) James CATHEY (1812) son William H. CATHEY (1815) son Samuel B. CATHEY (1818) son 1 Female(s) 26-44 (1775-1794) Elizabeth BRYSON Cathey (1787) wife William Cathey was listed on the 1830 census in Haywood County. He was just two houses from his brother James Cathey (1784) and he was about 15 houses from his cousin William Cathey (1777). An undated deed (from 1826)shows all the heirs of William Cathey (Sr) selling a part of their inheritance to their brother Jacob Cathey. The deed was from Ann Allen of Alabama; George Cathey; the heirs of Daniel Cathey, deceased; Elizabeth Mahaffey wife of William Mahaffey; William Cathey; James Cathey; Sarah Robinson wife of Samuel Robinson; Margaret Campbell wife of Allen Campbell and Thomas Cathey, all of Haywood Co, NC to Jacob Cathey of Haywood, 37 acres on Main Fork Richland Creek. The signatures of the deed were the same as above, but also including Andrew Cathey, Violet Cathey and Jane Cathey, who were the heirs of Daniel Cathey, deceased. (Haywood Co, NC Deed Book B page 398). Another deed dated 26 Jun 1827 was also from various heirs of William Cathey Sr: William Cathey; James Cathey; heirs of Daniel Cathey, deceased; Jacob Cathey and Thomas Cathey all of Haywood to Benjamin E. Hatfield, 160 acres. (Haywood Co, NC Deed Book B page 414). 1830 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) 1830 Haywood Co, NC pg 364 William Cathey 0012101000000-0100001000000 Analysis: 1 Male(s) 40-49 (1780-1790) William CATHEY (1782) s/o William & Rebecca 1 Male(s) 20-29 (1800-1810) Andrew Dever CATHEY (1809) son 2 Male(s) 15-19 (1810-1815) James CATHEY (1812) son William H.

William Cathey was listed on the 1840 census in Union County, Georgia. He appears to have his son William H. Cathey and his family residing with them. They were next door to John Bryson (1800-1874) who was Elizabeth Bryson Catheys cousin. 1840 census analysis (based on available evidence): (Explanation of this census) 1840 Union Co, GA pg 12 William Cathey 0000400100000-1001100100000 Analysis: 1 Male(s) 50-59 (1780-1790) William CATHEY (1782) s/o William & Rebecca 4 Male(s) 20-29 (1810-1820) James CATHEY (1812) son William H.

The Catheys fell into this new county, but just barely, for Gum Log Mountain was part of the boundary, and they seemed to be on the east side of the mountain somewhere. William Cathey died sometime between 1850 and 1860 in Towns County, Georgia. Elizabeth Bryson Cathey was listed on the 1860 census in Towns County residing with daughter Rebecca Cathey Parker. 1860 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1860 TOWNS CO, GA Page 130 House/Family # 113/ 113 -- Twp P.O.

Children of William Cathey and Elizabeth
Bryson. William Cathey and wife Elizabeth Bryson had 5 children as
proven by their family Bible, and confirmed by various other sources. I
have a copy of the births from of a very old Bible which is apparently
an original King James version which used the old style "s" which looked
like an "f", for example, the word "supply" was written "fupply". The
births were written in at the bottom of one of the pages, original
spelling used: William Cathey was born Aprile tha 15 1782 Elizabeth Cathey was born Aprile tha 3 1787 Andrew D. Cathey was born aprile tha 16 1809 James Cathey was born march tha 11 1812 William H.

Andrew Dever Cathey was born 16 Apr 1809 (per William Cathey
Family Bible) in Haywood Co, NC. I have not seen any direct proof that
his middle name was "Dever" (or "Deaver"), but his grandson James H.
Cathey recorded it as such in his own Family Bible. He was apparently
named after his uncle Andrew D. Cathey who died just a few months before
his birth. He may also have been named in part after his grandfather
Andrew Bryson. Although the name "Deaver" is used in the Cathey family
as middle names, I dont know what the familial connection is, if there
is one.
Andrew D. Cathey married Mary Jefferson Allison on 31 Dec 1833 in Haywood Co, NC. See their own page for additional information. |
|
James Cathey was born 11 Mar 1812 (per William Cathey
Family Bible) in Haywood Co, NC. He was probably named for his two
uncles: James Cathey and James N. Bryson. James Cathey married Emily Brown on 25 May 1846 in Union Co, GA See their own page for additional information. |
|
William H. Cathey was born 22 Aug 1815 (per William Cathey
Family Bible) in Haywood Co, NC. He was probably named after his father
William Cathey. I dont know what his "H" middle initial stood for. William H. Cathey married Nancy Matilda Carter on 27 Feb 1837 in Rabun Co, GA. See their own page for additional information. |
|
Samuel B. Cathey was born 13 Sep 1818 (per William Cathey
Family Bible) in Haywood Co, NC. I dont know who he might have been
named for, unless it was his Great Uncle Samuel Bryson, but I dont
necessarily think that is the case. Samuel B. Cathey married Mary Melissa Parker on 8 Oct 1840 in Haywood Co, NC. See their own page for additional information. |

Rebecca H. Cathey was born 17 Nov 1820 (per
William Cathey Family Bible) in Haywood Co, NC. I imagine that she was
named for her grandmother Rebecca Holeman Cathey. She seems to have been home with her parents for the 1830 census (age 5-9, born ca 1820/25), and still seems to be home with them in 1840 (age 15-19, born ca 1820/25). Rebecca married John Brown Parker on 29 Apr 1847 in Union Co, GA. John was born ca 1823/24 (per 1850 census) in North Carolina, possibly Haywood County. They were listed on the 1850 census in Union Co, GA next to her brother William H. Cathey and just two houses from her parents. 1850 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1850 UNION CO, GA Page 219 House/Family # 238/ 238 - 85TH DISTRICT Twp PARKER JOHN 28 M W FARMER NC 1821/1822 PARKER REBECCA 29 F W NC 1820/1821 PARKER WILLIAM 2 M W GA 1847/1848 PARKER ANDREW 0 M W 5/12 GA 1849/1850 PARKER JASON 29 M W NC 1820/1821 In 1856, Towns County was formed, including the area where the Parkers lived.
