************** I DO NOT HAVE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS*********
"I have come across another David, probably a son of Joseph (son of Wm. and Mary) in probate records of William Cathcart, blacksmith, who died Chester District, SC in 1804, his estate administered by Joseph Cathcart, Jr. Buyers at venue were Joseph Sr., Joseph Jr., Hugh, David, and Samuel Cathcart. I have taken Hugh, David, Joseph Jr., and the deceased William to be the 4 males under 16 listed in the 1790 Census Fairfield District, SC with Joseph. David Cathcart is later found in records of Monroe County, Tenn., where Joseph Sr. moved and is buried, David shown 1823/24/25/26." [There is a David buried in Ebenezer (1794-1809) that I think is connected with the William/Mary Cathcart line.]

Notes: 1. It appears that this document was initially transcribed using the surname KINCART instead of CATHCART. The signatures and witness statements, at the end of the document, are correctly spelled as CATHCART. 2. The 20-year lapse of time between signing and recording (1811-1831) is puzzling. I'll have to look into this.
