13 Oct 1827 Robert Cathcart sold land to Minor Smith
and Derril Smith, to be paid on time.
Derril Smith died in 1836.
In the estate papers of Derril Smith, a sealed note to Robert Cathcart is
listed, dated 1 Jan 1834, for $468.19, plus $158.79 interest, total
$626.98. I don't know if this is related to the above land sale or is a
different transaction.
Payments are made at various times in the form of discounts (I assume this
means the amount was deducted from Robert Cathcart's bill at the Smith and
Trapp saw mill)
8 Oct 1849 The Administrators of R. Cathcart were paid $200.15 in the
final settlement of Derril Smith's estate.
Here is my attempt to transcribe the land sale indenture: (I am sure there
are errors, the copy was not any to clear)
- - - - - -

************** I DO NOT HAVE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS*********
"I have come across another David, probably a son of Joseph (son
of Wm. and Mary) in probate records of William Cathcart,
blacksmith, who died Chester District, SC in 1804, his estate administered
by Joseph Cathcart, Jr. Buyers at venue were Joseph Sr., Joseph Jr.,
Hugh, David, and Samuel Cathcart. I have taken Hugh, David, Joseph
Jr., and the deceased William to be the 4 males under 16 listed in the
1790 Census Fairfield District, SC with Joseph. David Cathcart is
later found in records of Monroe County, Tenn., where Joseph Sr. moved and
is buried, David shown 1823/24/25/26."
[There is a David buried in
Ebenezer (1794-1809) that I think is connected with the William/Mary
Cathcart line.]

Notes:
1. It appears that this document was initially transcribed using the
surname KINCART instead of CATHCART. The signatures and witness
statements, at the end of the document, are correctly spelled as CATHCART.
2. The 20-year lapse of time between signing and recording
(1811-1831) is puzzling. I'll have to look into this.
