I'm new to your newsletter and was wondering if anyone out there has any info on the Cathey family from Houston and/or Stewart counties. I am a descendant of Archibald Cathey who was born in TN and moved to what is now Izard Co. in AR. If anyone has info and is willing to share, I would be happy to reciprocate. Thanks.
