* Falling River joins the Roanoke River at the corner border of Campbell, Charlotte and Halifax Counties. "Upwards" would be upstream, which is Halifax on south side of Roanoke, Campbell on north side. A few miles upstream would become Pittsylvania on the south and eventually Bedford.;
!NOTE:On 23 Nov 1773, Henry Cathey and John Cathey served on a jury of the Shenandoah Court. (Order Book 1772-1774, Shenandoah Co., VA abstracted by Amelia C. Gilreath, publ. 1986. p. 166, p 250, shared by Boyt Cathey)
!NOTES:In Cathey vs. Brown, it was related that John Cathey "Jr" son of William Cathey (bef 1762) transported a slave for his father in 1799. Why was he referred to as Jr in that affidavit? The only reason to do that was if there was an older John Cathey in the area at the same time. Could the older John be the same one from the 1748 and 1773 records? I think that is entirely possible;
