Descendants of Hugh Cathcart

Generation No. 1

1. HUGH2 CATHCART (WILLIAM1) was born 1765 in Antrim Co., Ireland, and died March 28, 1808 in Buried in Ebenezer Presbyterian Cemetery, Rock Hill, SC. He married AGNES. She was born 1770, and died May 07, 1834 in Buried in Ebenezer Presbyterian Cemetery, Rock Hill, SC.

Notes for HUGH CATHCART:

Family history handed down in our family states that John and his brother Hugh helped to establish the Scotch Covenanter Church in Rock Hill, SC, and that Hugh was buried in the Cemetery there. In the Fall of 1997 my father's cousin Frances Cathcart Dawson and I visited Rock Hill and the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church and Hugh's grave site. I spent time in the church's historical library, reviewing print materials from the Cathcart family file.

Information gathered from the Historical Library in the Rock Hill Ebenezer Presbyterian Church, 1997 follows:

Hugh and Agnes had two sons and one daughter; William, Harvey, and Nancy or Isabella(?). The Cathcarts came from Scotland (via Antrim Co., Ireland), where they had lived in a small village near Glasgow. They were Covenanters in their church relations.

Hugh and son William were members of a Covenanter Church in Chester Co. on Rocky Creek, there being no church of that faith nearer.* They attended very regularly even though the (great) distance (that needed to be traveled). In warm weather, then Covenanter pastor of Rocky Creek Church would come to the Cathcart home and preach and baptize the children and preach out in front of Hugh's or William's home.

W.J. Miller (son of Mary Cathcart and Joseph Miller), great grand son of Hugh, recalls:

"There was a large mulberry tree that stood in the grove at my father's in my boy days that Capt. Fairis, an old neighbor, said he had heard several long sermons preached under by a Covenanter preacher by the name of Donaly, and also says Rev. Donaly [1] baptized my mother under this same tree." (Note: On August 6, 1958 I located a very old mulberry tree just below the well-house which is apparently the one referred to here. M. Spencer)

All of both families (Cathcarts and Millers) up to this date succeeded well in life, were good citizens, (were) all members of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, which was formed by union of the Covenanter and Associate churches. There was one preacher Rev. John Miller, and two doctors (in these families), Dr. James Miller and Dr. Harvey Cathcart.

From a letter dated June 24, 1920, signed by Barnette Miller Spencer:

My father was William Joseph Miller 1. His mother was Mary Cathcart. They were "Covenanters."......Three brothers came to this country in 1783 and landed in Charleston, SC. John settled on the Catawba River in Lancaster Co. Hugh, my great great grandfather, bought from the Government the land he was living on and I still own part of the same land. It has never been out of the Cathcart family and we still have the deed given to Hugh by the government.

Harvey studied medicine, graduating from the University of KY in 1823. A very extensive medical practice followed. He had an older aunt, Jane Williamson who lived with him. The doctor died young in 1836.

"Dr. Cathcart and brother William merchandized in a frame building that stood in the corner of our yard between the grind stone and the weeping willow tree. I moved the store (the frame structure) out on the side of the road opposite the barn and had it for a cotton house and used the ceiling to weatherboard it as the first weatherboarding was decayed. Dr. and brother made money, and the Doctor invested his in Negroes and William, his in land. The Covenanters were opposed to holding slaves. After Dr. Cathcart's death his brother William inherited his property and moved up there in 1837. William died in 1844."
