I have been backtracking Laney Cathey, born 1877 TX or TN; he died in TX, so may have been born there. However, his parents Richard Cathey and Katherine Beaty/Batey were married in Mcnairy, TN in 1877. I am trying to find where Richard was born/raised, and am pointed to MS. I can find only one record there with a Richard that might be him, but nothing from any other census except the one showing he and Laney in Ellis, TX, 1880. Has anyone any suggestion on where I can look for other records for this family in TN or MS? Tishimongo, MS is where I found a Richard in census, and this is very close to the TN county....
