The book "Carolina Cradle: Settlement of the Northwest Carolina Frontier" by Robert W. Ramsey has a number of references to the Cathey family. Ramsey traces them back to Cecil county, MD in 1719. From there, Catheys moved to Chester county, PA and from there to Lancaster county, PA by 1736. By 1738, James Cathey removed to the Shenandoah Valley. From there, Catheys moved on to the Yadkin Valley of western North Carolina. The book is very specific and well-documented. It includes lists of deeds, maps of the settlements, marriage information and will details. The book was published in 1964 and is currently in print. I bought it at a Scottish festival in Arizona last year. If you cannot locate it, I would be happy to look up specific Cathey names for you.
