Boyd, Thank you for this detailed information. About selling the farm in 1870 - thank you for that information. Our family records for our direct line don’t include a Patrick McNally.
Gabriel Cathcart died in 1902 at age 83 when he was living with his daughter and son-in-law Charlotte and Samuel Walker in Belfast. Gabriel’s wife Hester Marshall Cathcart died January 26, 1880 in Pomeroy Thank you again.
