Given the age 16 breakdown, we can assume that Joseph
had four sons born in or before 1774.
Since there are four females listed,, we can assume
that he had at least three female children (of course, the
remaining female would be his wife).
If James McCammon sold land to Samuel Cathcart, it
should help us pin down the location where Samuel lived. But which
Samuel Cathcart is this?
It's probably not the Samuel above in
Spartanburg County
The deed paperwork says Samuel is a "yeoman from the state of
Kentucky"... but I know of no Samuels who would have been from Kentucky.
The transaction was witnessed by Joseph Cathcart.
This could be Joseph (the spy),
it might also be Joseph, son of
William and Mary Cathcart... but i think that's less likely.
Likely John Frampton (my fourth great grandfather),
father of Martha MacLeod Frampton (1786-1830). Martha married Winborn
Lawton, Jr.
Claremont County was in existence for only the first
annual US census (and before). Its borders coincide with present-day
Lee, Sumter and Darlington counties.
see map.
This
enumeration is certainly a possible match for Mary being the widow of John
Cathcart, Sr. (one of the "Big Four") It appears that the three males could be
John Jr., Samuel, and David. Mary Cathcart's daughter, Mary, would be aged
16-25 in 1800. There is a James Moffett and a David McDill on the same
page. Click here for image
Joseph and William listed right next
to each other (about one quarter of the way down the page.
Click here for image). Page also has David McCreight, Sr & Jr. and William
McCreight. Also several Neelys.
First of all, Joseph Cathcart, Sr.'s enumeration has
one male in the greater than 44 age category. Since this equates to a
birth year before 1756, this is almost certainly
Joseph Cathcart the revolutionary war spy.
The other likely "suspect," would be Joseph son of William and Mary
Cathcart. However, this Joseph was born about 1769, so the dates do
not match.
William: this enumeration is quite interesting; first
because it's right next to Joseph Cathcart, Sr.; and secondly because there
are two males listed in the 16-25 age group (1774-1784).
Again, one would first try to connect this
William with the William and Mary version... but there is little evidence
that this William ever emigrated to the United States from County
Antrim, Ireland. Nor for that matter, does his son William
(born circa 1767) appear to match, as he was supposed to have also
stayed in County Antrim, Ireland.
Given the above—along with the fact that the
enumeration lists Joseph Cathcart, Sr and William right next door to
each other—we might believe that this William is perhaps a son of Joseph
Cathcart , Sr., and that the other male listed in the same age group
is his brother.
See PDF worksheet covering probate records of a
William Cathcart who died in nearby Chester County.
Hugh: this Hugh appears to be Hugh Cathcart ,
Sr. (1765-1808), son of William and Mary
Samuel Cathcart's daughter, Jane,
married Archibald McCravey.1
This is likely John and Susannah Marshall Baskin in
family.. John being the son of Andrew
Baskin. however, there is another John Baskins enumerated in this
census... see note 6 below
Given the similarity of this listing to the one
above, I tend to believe that this is a duplicate entry for the same family.
My current records to indicate that you John and Susannah should have had to
surviving male children at the time of this census.
There is a Clement Stewart listed on this page and a
Clement Stewart, Jr. listed two pages later. One of these is likely
the husband of a daughter of Andrew Baskin—whose
first name is unknown.
Although the age bracket does not quite match, I
believe this is James Baskin, son of Andrew.
Since James did not marry until 1804, it would make sense that he would be
enumerated as head of household and with five slaves working on the
property.
George and Sarah Wells were parents of Elizabeth
Wells (1775-1854), who in 1804 would marry James
Baskin.
James Brice--This is most likely James (1768-1845)
and his first wife, Jane Wilson. The four males listed in the first column
would be appropriate for his firstborn sons: Robert, James, William, and
John. About eight years after this census, James would marry Mary
Cathcart (daughter of John Cathcart of the
"Big 4" Cathcart brothers).
James Faires/Faris (born about 1726 in County
Antrim, Ireland,, died about 1802 in York District, South Carolina).
Below are details from James' will:
FARIES (Faris), JAMES of
York County, 5 Jan 1802 Wife: Jean Son: James Faris Son: Richard Faris Grandson: Elias Faris Son: William Faris Son: Alexander Faris Daughter: Margaret, married to David Strain Daughter: Agness, married to Benjamin Garrison Daughter: Jean, married to John Adare Daughter: Susannah, married to John Faris Daughter: Ann, married to James Faris Executors: Wife, Jean and son, James Faris Witnesses: James Faris, Richard Faris, John Kerr Presented: 5 Mar 1802; Case 56 file #2498
This is almost certainly
David Cathcart, (C1763-C1845, m. Melissa Hollinger). Note that the
three girls would be his three daughters, Mary, Elizabeth, and Rosanna.
I'm assuming that Margaret Jane died young. There is also a John Culp two
households above David. We know that David and his sons
sold land to Henry McKinney and John
Culp. Further up the page there are a Samuel Gill and a Nancy
McKinney--names which appear in a land sale in 1807 (see sold land link on
Chester County page).
Note: Last several pages of the census have a listing of manufacturers (steel
and cloth) with names and quantities. Names include James Baskin (cotton
cloth: 870 yards), Thomas English, Mixons, Cunninghams, Cantys.
Page 215/i. 3 Next Door: Boyd, L. Jr.?, Mary Johnson, David DuBose (3), Robert Brailsford (6)
Salem County, Sumter District (William, James and John sons of Gilbert
and Lucy Atkinson Croswell)
Lucy (age greater than 45) is listed as head of
household indicating that her husband, Gilbert, has passed away.
Given that three of her four sons are enumerated on this or the next
census page, we might assume that the 16-25-year-old male is her son
Adville Gilbert (1787-1862).
William: born about 1788
James Crosswell: not sure who the one male child
born 1799 1810 would be. The male in the 26 – 44 box (1766-1784) matches
James age. As far as the females: their daughter Elizabeth would have
been less than 10 (1799-1810), and James wife Argent would have indeed
been 16 to 25 (1784-1794).
John Crosswell: I need to do more research here.
This enumeration indicates that John was younger than his brother James.
Also, there are two females less than 10 years old, and for the moment I
have no candidates in my database. However, I do have an exact birthdate
for John's wife Sarah Kennedy: October 2, 1789. That date certainly
matches the indicated 16-25 (1784-1794) age group in this listing.
General notes for Cathcarts in York County
Joseph Cathcart, Sr.
Given the inclusion of one male in the
over 45 age category (i.e. birth year on or before 1765), this
cannot be Joseph son of David Cathcart (the one who married Melissa
Hollinger), because this Joseph was born in 1797 — and therefore too
young to be involved in the purchase of land.
There was a Joseph Cathcart, son of William
and Mary Cathcart, and born in 1769 who would therefore be too young
to be this Joseph.
It is therefore likely that this is Joseph Cathcart the revolutionary war spy.
Who are the two males in the 16-25 age group?
Is it possible that one of these young men was the same Allen
Cathcart who witnessed the land tracts transaction by Joseph
Cathcart, Sr.? see paragraph 8c below
Hugh Cathcart
Hugh is enumerated on the same page, right
next to Joseph Cathcart, Sr. Since the eldest male listed in
this enumeration is in the 25-45 age group (birth year 1766-1784),
we can assume that would be Hugh's birth year range. This
could not have been Hugh Cathcart, (born 1765, son of William and
Mary Cathcart), since the Ebenezer church records indicates that
this Hugh died on 28 March 1808.
Joseph Cathcart, Jr.
As with Hugh, this Joseph's enumeration's
eldest male is in the 25-45 age group (birth year 1766-1784).William
and Mary Cathcart had a son Hugh, born about 1769. However, if
this Joseph was the son of William, why would he be a Junior?
I believe this means that were not talking about the line descending
from William and Mary Cathcart.
Tying together the above 1810 census enumerations
with land purchases within three years of this census might provide a
clue as to the identity of these three Cathcarts.
Bill of sale 475 acres on Fishing Creek in
Chester County, from Joseph Cathcart to John Cathcart signed (by
Joseph Cathcart) 2 March 1806—witnessed by Joseph, Hugh, and Allen
Cathcart. Sworn before the judge November 20, 1807.
Click here for a transcription of the bill of sale.
All the Cathcart men associated with this purchase said that they
were residents of Chester County, South Carolina. Since
Fishing Creek is located in both Chester and York counties (click
here for map), it is
certainly possible that these gentlemen would be enumerated in York
County in 1810, while describing themselves as Chester County
residents three years earlier for this transaction.
It is most interesting to note the signers
and witnesses to this transaction. We have Joseph Cathcart
senior and junior, Hugh Cathcart, and perhaps most interestingly,
Allen Cathcart.
First of all, I'm assuming that Susannah is Joseph's wife.
Secondly, given that this transaction occurs three years after the
transaction above, I'm assuming this is Joseph Cathcart, Sr.; and if
true,, this would indicate the name of Joseph's wife for the first
time.

1820 Census
Note: The original version of the table below had a column for female 16-18,
but there was none in this census. That's why there's a blank column in the
White female columns below.
David and Samuel Cathcart -- Sons of John (B4) but
where's their father, John?
David (about 30) is the lone male 26-44, as he is not
yet married, the female in the over 45 might be his mother.
Samuel. Son William (b. ~1819) would be the <10 male,
and Samuel would be one of the 26-44 males, but who's the other one? His
brother John, Jr. disappeared in a SC swamp, so maybe that happened after
the 1820 census. His wife Nancy is the female 25-44.
After arriving in SC in time for War of 1812, Robert has
has 150+ slaves. Rest of family is living in Chester County.
Given that there are two males listed in the 26-45 age
group (corresponding with a year of birth of 1793-1804), there is an
excellent possibility that the two are brothers. If this is true, then there's
an excellent chance that William Cathcart would be the son of Hugh Cathcart, Sr.
(1768-1808). The other male listed is likely Harvey Johnson Cathcart
(1799-1839).
If the above information is correct, then the female
listed in the 26-45 age group would be Nancy Cathcart, the as yet unmarried
sister of the above William and Harvey.
Note: see Joseph Harvey Cathcart... given the
closeness and names and places, perhaps these are the same individuals.
James Cathcart (son of Samuel "Spartanburg Cathcarts")
This census page includes many enumerations of
interest (image):
Faries (Faires/Faris): Thomas, James
Margaret Strain: This is very likely Margaret
Faris Strain (born 1763, and daughter of James and Jean Agnes Adair
Faires/Faris, wife of David Strain). David and Margaret were parents of
Elizabeth, who married Joseph Harvey Cathcart, Sr.
Miller: Joseph, Sr.; Joseph, Jr.; and John
Advill, John and William are three sons of Gilbert
and Lucy Atkinson Crosswell
Advill Gilbert Crosswell
Likely John Cathcart, son of Samuel Cathcart.
Although John was born about 1785 (and would therefore fit in the 26-44 age
group), the lack of male children is puzzling as John should have had at
least two boys by the time of the 1820 census. Also, I have no record of any
female children.

a. Original appears to be "Cathkartz" is also transcribed as "Cathhart" in
other sources. William & his wife would be b. 1789-1800 based on the single
entries in the male and his wife 1799-1810. Neighbors: Samuel M. Watson ,
Daniel Jones, Isaac A. & William D. Garrison. This William appears to be
too young to be the William m. Rachel Neely. A more likely candidate is
William m. Jane Black, son of Hugh (from the Mecklenburg line/William & Mary).
Also note the Garrisons living close by. William and Jane's son James m. a
Sarah Garrison.
b. Dr. H J [Harvey Johnson] Kathcart, age 20-30, and 2 women aged 50-60.
Harvey was the son of Hugh and Agnes Cathcart, of the William and Mary line. Also on
page: William Fairies, James Wilson, William Neely
Has no listings until 190 slaves--perhaps this was only
slave quarters?
This is likely the widow of Adam McWillie (1766-1827).
The male aged 15-20 is probably a grandson, or perhaps her son Abram with
the wrong age listed.
James and son John listed next door to each other, Robert
separated by about five names.
John's (James' eldest son) family is as follows: Males: 1
Richard, 2 Robert & William, 1 James; Females: 2 Margaret & ?, 1 ?, 1 Nancy,
1 20-30 sister Nancy?, 1 30-40 wife Mary
the "6" is difficult to read, but matches with the total
number on the next page.
Samuel Cathcart. Most likely John's (Big4) son,
however who are all the underage males? My records only show two males
William b. c 1819 and Samuel N. b. c1829. Are these perhaps nephews?
Robert B. Brice (1791-1871) and wife Margaret Simonton
Brice (1801-1843) and family.
a. Adville Gilbert Crosswell (1787-1862) uncle of
John J Crosswell.
b. John Crosswell (1786-1863) another uncle of John J Crosswell

James Burchell Richardson (1806-1860), aged 34.
The female age 60-70 is probably his mother, Floride Bonneau Peyre
Richardson who died in 1844.
Richard Charles Richardson (1815-1877) and his wife
Eleanora Norvelle Spann and their daughter, Anne Sinkler Richardson.
I believe this is Anne Cantey Sinkler Richardson
(C1773-1864), wife of James Burchell Richardson Sr. (who died in
1836). she is living next door to her son, Richard Charles
Richardson.
Best guess is this is Julia Anna Richardson,
