!NOTES:In the Will of her father, George Cathey, Ann was listed as "Ann Moore". The Will is now lost, unfortunately, but was cited in an 1812 deed regarding 2,500 acres in Tennessee that he willed to his daughters Violet Cathey, Esther Cathey and "Ann Moore."
We now that Esther married John Reed ca 1790/1792, and that Ann was married to Alexander Neill around that same period, thus George must have written his Will ca 1790, perhaps in preperation for one of his trips to Tennessee on the chance he might not return. This is supported by the surnames of Esther and Ann as cited as they don't match their surnames when George died ca 1812. He apparently never updated his Will.
