!FAMILY BIBLE:William and Elizabeth (Bryson) Cathey Family Bible,or perhaps this was his brother James Cathey's family bible. A notation on one page attests that James Sr copied that record in 1832.
This is a really old King James Bible using the old style letter S that looked like an F. One page contains births of William and Elizabeth's family. Another page contains the births of William's brother James Cathey's children. Another page contains the deaths of William and James's father and siblings. It seems likely some pages were lost as there are no marriages listed. This record was shared with me by Guy G. Davenport of FL in the late 1980's, I believe:

!NOTES:The William Cathey (Jr) family bible records deaths up to 1836 (Jacob Cathey), but does not include Rebecca's death, so I'm assuming two things. One, that William copied data from his parents bible ca 1836 and that his mother Rebecca was still alive then, thus no death date for her. Why it wasn't added later, I don't know. Perhaps it was on another page, now lost.
