Hello Joe, Thanks for your help in looking into this matter. Indeed this Cathell is a descendent of James Cathell of the Eastern Shore through his son, Jonathan (and two more Jonathans in sequence as well!). I have a copy of Ralph W. Cathell's book, and I'm pretty sure I've heard something about the other author you mentioned. Arthur P. Connelly's "All Five of his Sons..." is probably an attempt to correct some of the erroneous information originally published as newspaper article under the first part of that title. This involves the second Jonathan Cathell along with his brothers and cousins. There WERE five of them shown in the Revolutionary War records. I'd be glad to exchange information with your cousin, although I fear that what I have is very little and quite remote from his branch of the family.

Jonathan Dennis Cathellautobiography Susan: IF it was published then it probably was privately published or done by some small very small publisher. I will check the Library of Congress On Line Catalog in a moment just in case a copy was ever donated here... BTW.....
