• Notes

  He moved to Downing Creek, North Carolina where he was still living in 1769. Soon after, Henry Cato moved his family to Black River in South Carolina, about 20 milies east of Camden in present day Sumter County. They were living there at the time of the Revolution, in which Henry served, as a first Lieutenant in the Calvary. His son Burrel also served in the American army. In 1784 Henry received a grant of 640 acres on the Black River and Tare Coat Swamp, adjoining lands of his brother Sterling. Henry and wife Tabitha were still living in Buffalo Creek area in 1800, but they either died before 1810 or moved to Christian County, Kentucky, where a Henry Cato and wife, both over 45, are found in 1810.
