  !NOTES:Birth date of "bef 1727" derived from the assumption that her sister Ann was born before ca 1728. Also assuming the 1740 importation list (see below) lists James's children in order, that would make Margaret older than Ann.; !COURT:28 Feb 1739/40 Orange Co., VA Court Order Bk 2 p. 109 James Cathey made oath that he having (im)ported himself, Ann his wife, and his children William, Elizabeth, Andrew, George, Margaret and Ann at his own charge from Ireland to Philadelphia, and from there into this colony, and that this is the first time of proving his and their rights in order to obtain land.
