Marty and Karla Grant

!NOTES:I have a theory that fits, but far from proven. Anyone reading this let me know if you have information to confirm or refute my theory:

Theory:Agnes Cathey (name only known from 1794 Land entry) is the same person as Nancy Cathey mother of Jincy Cathey.
1. The names "Nancy" and "Agnes" were often used interchangably in those days.
2. This would be mean she was a single mother, not a widow. We have precendent for this because her sister Isabella was a single mother as well.
3. I can't prove that Nancy of 1850 Ripley Co., IN and Agnes are the same person, but it makes sense based on the limited records I've seen, plus the lack of evidence for any Cathey Nancy could have been married to. Further, I posit that she is also the mother of Silas M. Cathey who married into the same Gordon family as Jincy (their first cousins, actually).
