Edna Cathey Trotter writes that William Cathey was a Major during the American Revolution and afterward a civil officer in Salisbury, NC. As a result of this service, he was given grants of land in what is now Tennessee. He and his brothers, who also had land grants, moved overland to the present site of Nashville, TN with Gen. James Robertson. The Catheys owned land in Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, and Sumner Counties. He died in Sumner County, TN, and is buried there. After his death, his widow and his sons claimed the grant of 4,000 acres of land on what is now known as Cathey's Creek in Maury County, TN, named for William Cathey. Alice (Else) Hagan Cathey lived on the property until her death in 1822; she is buried in the Old Cathey cemetery.
