!NOTES:The William Cathey (Jr) family bible records deaths up to 1836 (Jacob Cathey), but does not include Rebecca's death, so I'm assuming two things. One, that William copied data from his parents bible ca 1836 and that his mother Rebecca was still alive then, thus no death date for her. Why it wasn't added later, I don't know. Perhaps it was on another page, now lost.
