  !NOTES:Marty Grant's 3rd Great Grandmother; !REFERENCE: http://www.martygrant.com/genealogy/patterson/patterson-carroll-m-swain.htm !NOTES:B/D & D/D from T/S at Sawyer Cem, Swain Co., NC.; !NOTES:Maiden name Cathey per D/C of several of her children; !NOTES:Parent's are William & Nancy (Carter) Cathey proven by Lavina living with them in 1850 and 1860. However, her D/C lists her parents as "Jo. Cathey" and "Jain Boyd", info given by her son William H. Patterson. Can't imagine why he got that wrong, as he would have known both his grandparents personally, in fact he was named for his grandfather William H. Cathey. There never was a couple named Jo. Cathey and Jane Boyd as far as I can determine.; !CENSUS:1850 Union Co., GA 85th District # 239/239 Wm H.
