Migration: John came from Ireland to America in 1739.John is shown in Dauphin Co.. PA
Transcription project as dying in Feb. 1742, leaving wife, Ann, and children: Alexander and
Eleanor. BHC www viewing 11/2003.John is shown as born 1687 by Susan Jane Cathey Anthony.
Dr . Henry Cathey in his 4/2000 analysis has concluded that he was born in 1667, not 1687.Joh n
Cathey (RN=301) was one of the Cathey settlers who arrived in America in the early 1700s wi th
his wife Ann ???? (RN=302). Perhapssomeday we can discover some data on this individual a nd
the other immigrants. We know definitely that Alexander Cathey (RN=303) of RowanCounty, N C
was his son. We are quite positive that the Eleanor mentioned in John's 13 September 1742 w ill is
the Eleanor Cathey who married (1) William Moorhead and (2) John May.Researchers hav e
concluded that George Cathey (RN=18) is the son of John's wife, Ann, by a previous marriag e to a
Cathey husband who may have died in Ulster.John died in Pennsylvania in 1742 or 1743 . It is
thought that John's terminal illness delayed Alexander's move to Virginia with the ot
herCatheys.John must have had two additional daughters, one who married a Graham husband a
nd another who married a Brindle/Trindle husband. In his 1742 will, John mentions a grandson ,
John Graham and a granddaughter, Jane Brindle. Dr. E. Henry Cathey has concluded that thi s
surname must have been "Trindle", rather than Brindle.Note: Per research of Dr. E. Henr y Cathey,
John had a daughter Margaret Cathey who married William Trindle (1709-1774). See 20 02
K&KThe Edward Cathey who died in Pennsylvania (wife Catherine) may have been another so n of
John and/or Ann.See Dr. Henry Cathey's article in the August 2000 "Cathey Kith and Kin "
regarding those Catheys of Clones Parish in County Monaghan, Ulster. See 1979 K&K. page 12.
Lawrence E. Wood says in his letter that John had a daughter, Mary who married John Brando n
Jr. (her cousin) & that she had two daughters, Peggy (marr. Arthur Erwin) & Hannah (marr. A rthur
Patton). Obtaining Mr. Woods data should be very helpful. He did a lot of work on thes e two
lines.John was of interest to Chuck Demastus ([email protected]).???? Cathey (RN=217 22) is
designated as Archibald Cathey in the package provided by Dr. Boyd Cathey in 2003. Hi s package
pertained to the old loghouse in the Steele Creek Community.Data on his mother i s also provided
in the package. She was Ann born before 1670 in Ireland & died before 1777 i n Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina. Further research is needed. (BHC Sep 2003)Blann Watt s has data on the

Garrett, "Some Early Settlers", Mary C ousins McCabe,Sarah Cathey (RN=7566),
daughter of John Cathey (RN=301) married Samuel Given s about 1718 in County
Antrim in Ireland. They apparently migrated to America some years afte r the
Catheys and proved their importation to the Colony of Virginia, Orange County, on
28 Fe bruary 1739. Samuel owned about 1,050 acres of land and was appointed
one of the four Orang e County justices for the area which later became Augusta
County. Ref.1NOTE: At one time i t was thought that Sarah was a sister of John
(301 & James (401).Sarah had 9 children prio r to Samuel's death and a 10th child
(George Givens, RN=7585) by Samuel shortly after his dea th in 1740.On 22
October 1740 Samuel prepared his will naming James Cathey (RN=401), his br
other-in-law, "to oversee my executors who were his sons "John and Samuel
Givins." The thre e persons who made bond of 500 pounds on 28 May 1741 to
settle the estate of Samuel Givens we re "Jno Givins, Saml Givins and James
Cathey." Ref. 2After the death of Samuel, Sarah marri ed Robert Allen and lived in
Frederick County, Virginia. Sarah had one child, Benjamin Allen (RN=7588), by her
second husband.In 1749, Sarah's daughter, Elizabeth Givens, married Andre w
Lewis, her cousin. Elizabeth's husband became the military leader, Gen.
AndrewLewis, who p layed a significant role in the protection of the frontier of the
colonies under the governor s of Virginia and later, Gen. George Washington. Ref.
3Gen. Andrew Lewis built Fort Lewis , located just outside present Salem, Virginia
very close to the historic marker for the Camp bell Colonial Manaion that burned.A
descendant of Elizabeth Givens Lewis is Astronaut Edwi n White who was the first
person to "walk in space". Edwin White died in an accident at Cap e Canaveral
along with Gus Grissom. Ref. 4Sarah Cathey Givens Allen died between 1765 and
1 769 and Robert Allen died in 1769. Both died in Frederick County. Ref. 5Note:
Pages 50 & 5 1 of Reichlein have some additional data on Sarah Cathey
(Givens)(Allen). It states that:" Wi dow Martha Givens (wife ofRN=7570) was a

Notes for George Cathey:
Adopted: StepchildMigration: George Cathey apparently came to America with his wife, Jean , in
the early 1700's along with several other Cathey families. George apparently moved to Vi rginia
with several other Cathey families; however, there is no record of his owning land i n the
Shenandoah Valley. He lived in Cecil, Maryland in 1737. It is possible he moved directl y to North
Carolina from Pennsylvania where he lived between 1740 and 1746.BIOGRAPHY: He wa s very
likely the son of Ann ???? Cathey. He was likely the stepson (and nephew) of John Cath
ey.BIOGRAPHY: An early reference to George and his wife, Jean, is the 1742 will of John Cat hey
who died in Pennsylvania. The will reads, "--to my faithful and loving wife Ann Cathey an d her two
children George Cathey and Jean Cathey, all of my whole estate, goods and chattels , except so
much as is hereafter mentioned.--". Some reseachers have speculated that Ann ha d small
children; however, later records prove that these two persons were man and wife. A fe w have
speculated that they had been disowned; however, if that were the case, John would no t have
bequeathed them the plantation. Most researchers have concluded that George was the so n of
Ann (wife of John) by a previous marriage to a Cathey husband - perhaps John's older bro ther
who may have died.BIOGRAPHY: On 7 October 1749, while living in Anson (later include d in
Rowan) County, North Carolina, George received a Granville? grant of 400 acres on the so uth
side of the north branch of the Catawba River in what would become Mecklenburg County, No rth
Carolina. This land was occupied by Matthew Toole, George's son-in-law and was later deed ed to
John Toole the son of Matthew and grandson of George.BIOGRAPHY: On 25 March 1752, Geo
John Toole the son of Matthew and grandson of George.BIOGRAPHY: On 25 March 1752, Geo
rge received 630 acres from Lord Granville, located " -- on branch of Sills Creek near Marlin gs
Bridge-- " The tract was in Anson, later Rowan County, North Carolina.BIOGRAPHY: In 1753 ,
George petitioned the newly organized Rowan County Court for a "license to keep public hous e
where he now lives. Request granted. John Dunn and Edward Hughes, Esq." BIOGRAPHY: On 9
O ct 1754, George and four other men of Rowan County "Appeared in open court" to acknowledge
th eir security for James Carter's performance "in expending the money from the Public Treasur y
of the Province for the use of this county according to the Act of Assembly of this Provinc
e."BIOGRAPHY: On 12 December 1754, George went bond along with three other leaders of the "
Cathey Settlement" for two men who were trusted with 500 pounds Sterling of public funds to p
urchase arms and ammunition. Records also show that the two men did not spend the funds as in
structed. In any event, the Rowan County Court orderded the sale of George's 315 acres at pub lic
auction. In 1759, George's son, Archibald, bid for the property and obtained 225 acres fo r a bid of
"10 pounds, Provincial Money".NOTE: Maybe this explains why George's name is no t found on the
1759 tax list which was found in the wall of the Rowan County Court House.BI OGRAPHY: On 17
April 1755, George purchased Lot Number 3 located in the new town of Salisbur y (in NE square,
144 square perches).BIOGRAPHY: On the 21st or 31st of October 1755, Georg e and wife Jean,
sold one half of his 630 acres "on a branch of Sills Creek near Marlins Brid ge" to their son George
Cathey, Jr. for a token amount of 5 shillings.BIOGRAPHY: On 25 Janu ary 1756,George

(See record for Archibald for the disposition of the 315 acres.)BIOGRAPHY: On 12 Octo ber 1759,
the deed documenting the purchase at public auction of 315 acres by Archibald Cathe y was
recorded. This event provides a clue as to the final days of George, Sr. He apparentl y died
between 1759 and 1765, leaving no will and owning no property. The low price which th e property
brought may indicate that the county leaders were making it up to George for his g oing bond for
the original funds entrusted to the two men. BIOGRAPHY: NOTE: The text file f or Jean ????

joined the ot her Catheys in Augusta County, Virginia.In 1734 Alexander was one of several
Catheys obtain ing Blunston licenses in Lancaster County, PA on the Conodoguinet Creek.The

line.)The following is from "Griffith Rutherford and Allied Families" Chapter 15 , page 95."The first
settlers of Rowan County, NC near Salisbury before 1756 were Paul Biff le, John Whitesides on
Grant's Creek to the north, John Dunn and John Gardiner and Alexande r Douglas on Cane Creek
to the South; Matthew Locke, Francis Locke, John Brandon, Alexander C athey and James
Graham to the west."Alexander Cathey, Esq. was one of the first Justices o f the Rowan County
Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions and served in that role until his deat h. According to Mrs. Jo
White Linn, "Many times Alexander Cathey proved wills and deeds, acte d as an administrator or
executor, and served on the jury. He was one of the most important o f the Irish settlers who came
to the new country."(Ref. "Drake-Arrington, White-Turner, Lin n-Brown and Two Dozen Related
Southern Lines ..." by Jo White Linn, C.G., Salisbury, NC, 1984 )In 1753, one of the first actions of
the newly formed Rowan County Court was to approve a n identification scheme for Alexander's
livestock. The record reads: "Alexr Cathey Esqr his M ark A smooth Crop in Each Ear and with a
piece cutt off from the Root of the off Ear to the E nd Brand A-C"In October 1760, John McElwrath
and Alexander had a dispute of some sort. Alex ander is recorded as saying that McElwrath was "a
Person of Lewd Life and Conversation an d a Common Disturber of his Majestys Peace". Many of
Alexander's neighbors came to his suppor t with John Dobbin testifying that "John Mcklewrath was
in his shop some time in September La st ye said Dobin & Mckellwrath being in Discors about Law
bisnes between ye said Alexander an d ye said Mckellwrath. Mcklwrath Swor by God if he could
not get Law he would turn as bad a s Aney Chirch and would take it at his own hand". James
Carson said, "on the first of Septe 1 760 ... he saw John Mcwrath Standing near the Court house
on the Main Street with a cut Las h in his Hand he was askt by some persons which this deponat
doth not Remember who was he Rag ing agains he sd that damd Rogue Eleck Cathey had Robed
him on the Kings Highways and furthe r said that if he meaning said Eleck would come nigh he
would cut him to peses." (Ref. "Carol ina Cradle" by Ramsey, pages 180 & 181).On 6 April 1766,
Alexander prepared his will and di ed the next day. He bequeathed the land where he and his wife
lived to his two sons - James ( RN=310) and Richard (RN=311) "to be delivered unto them at the
decease of their mother, or a t her marriage, to be equally divided between them.'Apparently Mary,
Alexander's wife, die d between 1766 and 1773, because John Cathey and Francis Locke,
executors of Alexander's will , sold a 93 acre tract to George Savage on 11 Oct. 1773.(Ref. Linn,

ALICE (EALCE)4 CATHEY was born before 13 Sep 1732 in Rowan, North Carolina,
USA (Former Hunting Creek Township). She died before 07 May 1794 in Rowan,
North Carolina, USA. She married (1) JOHN LOCKE JR. about 1750 in Rowan, North
Carolina, USA. He was born in 1728 in England. He died on 15 Apr 1764 in Rowan,
North Carolina, USA (Hunting Creek Township). She married (2) BENJAMIN
ROBINSON on 19 Feb 1765 in Rowan, North Carolina, USA. He died in 1791 in
Rowan, North Carolina, USA.
Notes for Alice (Ealce) Cathey:
Alice Cathey (RN=308) was married twice - initially to John Locke (RN=314),
1728-1764. Thre e children (Alexander, Matthew and Elizabeth)were born to this
marriage which ended on 15 Ap ril 1764 with the death of John Locke, age 36.In his
nuncupative will John declared tha t " -- his land should be divided between his
sons Alexander & Matthew Lock. The will was sig ned by Ealce Lock and was
witnessed by John Frohock and Alexander Cathey, Ealce's father.O n 11 July 1764,
the Rowan County Court ordered that "Ealen Lock have letters of administratio n on
the Estate of John Lock deceased and the Security Alexander Cathey & John
Frohock and th e Sec' Be Bound in the sum of 100." An inventory was returned by
the administrators of John' s estate.In February 1765, Alice married the second time
to Benjamin Robinson (RN=315).O n 13 April 1765, the three Locke children were
assigned to Alexander Cathey (Alice's father ) and Matthew Locke (thought to be
the uncle of the children) as guardians.In the April 176 6 will of Alexander Cathey
(her father), Alice is spoken of as "my once beloved daughter, Ali e Robinson, wife
of BenjaminRobinson." In order to show his disappointment with Alice (reaso n not
apparent), Alexander willed her "5 shillings and no more."Upon Robinson's death in
17 91, Alice was a widow for the second time. Benjamin's will dated 19 November
1790, mentions t hree children: Moses, Benjamin and Sarah Robinson. Alice's
Brother, John Cathey (RN=306) wa s named as executor along with Benjamin's
brother, William Robinson. William Cathey (RN=309 ) was one of the
witnesses.Sometime before 7 May 1794, Alice died in Rowan County.On 27 O
ctober 1798, Alice's two sons, Moses and Benjamin Robinson, sold Matthew Locke
a 160 acre tra ct on Grants Creek. This property was an original state grant to
Alice's husband, Benjamin Ro binson.The two Robinson brothers, and perhaps their
sister as well, migrated to Tennessee i n the last years of the 1790s with their two
uncles - William Cathey (RN=309) and John Cathe y (RN=306). Gen. Griffith
Rutherford must have been the leader of the band of families whic h relocated to
Sumner County, TN. (Ref. 4)References:(1) Linn, Jo White, "Drake-Arrington ,

ever in 1758, he purchased Lot #3 in the center of Salisbury and became one of the nine origi nal
settlers of the town. John also purchased Lot #9 at auction of certin things of Robert Gi llespie's
holdings.BIOGRAPHY: 19 October 1759, Lease/Release from John Long and Esther. ("H eritage

expedition against the Cherokees in 1760. The expedition was against the Indians in Turke y Cove,
on the north fork of the Catawba River, not far from Pleasant Gardens. The cause of h is death was
reported as wounds and scalping by the Indians. He later filed a claim (or perha ps his estate filed
the claim) for having provided a wagon to be used in that campaign. In an y event John was dead
by July 1760, as court records refer to Hester as "relict" of John Long .
John Long and Esther Cathey had the following child:
i.
ALEXANDER5 LONG was born on 16 Jan 1758 in Rowan, North Carolina, USA. He
died in 1824 in Rowan, North Carolina, USA.
Notes for Alexander Long:
BIOGRAPHY: Alexander was the only son of Captain John Long and Esther
(Hester) Cathey Cusic k Long. He inherited the vast lands (2500~3000 acres) of his
father who was killed in 1760 i n present day McDowell County while fighting
Cherokee Indians.After his second marriage to E lizabeth Chapman of Brunswick
County, Virginia, Alexander built the "Long House" in 1786. I t is located near
Salisbury, North Carolina on Sowers Ferry Road. The house is on property aq uired
by his father in 1759. Alexander aquired the land in 1783. The "Long House" was
place d on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and renovations were
completed in 1976. George Washington, on his Southern Tour, left Salisbury early
one May morning and stopped a t the "Long House" before crossing the Yadkin
River on his way to Salem (now a part of Winsto n-Salem). Alexander Long was the
River on his way to Salem (now a part of Winsto n-Salem). Alexander Long was the
grandson of Jean Cathey. Alexander Long and Joseph Chamber s were
bequeathed "one year-old sorrel filly" by Jean Cathey in her will dated 9 March 1777
. Joseph Chambers is likely to be the step great grandson of Jean Cathey.

see Rowan Co 1790 census.John Cathey (RN=306) wa s the son of Alexander Cathey (RN=303)
and Mary Elizabeth Pinkney (RN=304). Although no docum ented proof is available, it is
speculated that he was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvani a (circa 1740) prior to the migration
of the Catheys to Augusta County, Virginia. The will o f John Cathey (written 18 June 1821)
recorded on January 8, 1824, Book C, Page 140, Maury Cou nty, Tennessee provides a great deal
of information regarding this individual. NOTE: In the w ill, John says he is in "perfect health of
body".The 1790 Rowan Co., NC census shows: Joh n (Head); 1 son >16; 3 sons <16; 5 dau. + wife
and 5 slaves. The 1820 Maury Co.,TN census sho ws: Head >45; wife >45; 1 male 18-26 years.On
19 November 1790, John witnessed the Rowan Co ., NC will of his brother-in-law, Benjamin
Robison (RN=315) who died in 1791. John wasname d executor of Benjamin's estate along with
Benjamin's brother, William Robison. (Ref. "Rowa n County, North Carolina Wills and
Estates1753-1805 and Tax List of 1759 and 1778", page 31 , by Jo White Linn.)11 August 1792:
Pleas & Quartewr session, Rowan County, NC: "Richard Lo cke is appointed Guardian of Griffith
Cathey, Alexander Cathey andJames Cathey, minor orphan s of James Cathey deceased, who
gave bond with Matthew Brandon and John Cathey securities i n sum of 500 pounds." Note JOHN
CATHEY role.On 23 September 1793, John purchased 200 acre s of land in Sumner County, TN
from Thomas Donaho. John was still a resident of Rowan Co. a t the time.On 20 Sept.. 1794, John
witnessed the gift deed of a 16 year old slave named Mar y and mare. Ref. Joyce Murray book
"Sumner County, Tennessee Deed Abstracts (1793-1805)", pag e 64. The gift was from "Richard
GREHAM, of Rowan Co, North Carolina to Jean GREHAM, for lov e & affection I have for my
daughter."On 23 Sept. 1797, Thomas Donoho, Caswell Co., NC to J ohn Cathey, Rowan Co., NC
$400 200A beg. on line of William Sanders on E side W Fork of Goos e Creek" Ref Joyce Murray's
Book "Sumner County, Tennessee Deed Abstracts (1793-1805)", pag e 49.On 8 April 1799, John
Cathey witnessed a deed Ref Joyce Murray Book, page 86.In 180 0 it appears that John (RN=306)
transferred property to William (RN=9704), his son, on 7-25-1 800. (Ref. Sumner Co. Book A, page
111 & Sumner Co. Book 4, page 328) A deed dated 4-18-180 7 appears to refer to the same piece
of property. Another deed dated 8-21-1815 records a sal e of land on the Cumberland River &
Goose Creek to John Bray --- orig. grant to Thomas Donaho .The confusion between Richard
Cathey (RN=311) and John (RN=306) is cleared up by the 182 1 will. John's son, John Alexander
Cathey (RN=2512), and Griffith Cathey (RN=327), John's son -in-law, were named as executors of
the will.The exact date of John's migration from Rowa n County to Tennessee is not known
precisely; however, his sale of 305 acres (w. side Grant s Creek, for 375 lb.) to Frederick Fisher in
1797 was prior to his move. The 305 acre tract w as bequeathed to John by his father. John and
Francis Locke were executors of Alexander's (RN =303) will. It is interesting that there is no
Francis Locke were executors of Alexander's (RN =303) will. It is interesting that there is no
mention of land in John's 1821 will. By this t ime he had probably disposed of all of his land.In
Daniel O. Cathey's 1991 document (page 2 9) there is a bill of sale record in which purchases were
made by John Cathey and William Eas ley in Hickman Co., TN on 5 June 1810. The sale was
registered in court on 27 Mar. 1811. Hick man County is adjacent to Maury County where John
Cathey (RN=306) lived and died in 1824.NO TE: Haley Dandridge, in "A History of Tate County,
MS", probably dated 1976, lists "Mary Eliz abeth Dandridge" as the wife of Alexander Cathey
(RN=303). The consensus appears to favor Mar y Elizabeth Pinkney.Records of Paul K. Delk of
Hampshire, TN show John's (RN=306) mother a s Mary Elizabeth Dandridge. This data is also
thought to be in error. Most researchers favo r Mary Elizabeth Pinkney.There have been hints that
John had another son, John H. Cathey, w ho died prior to 1821. It may be that there has been
confusion regarding John A. Cathey (RN=2 512). The middle initial "A" may have appeared as an
"H".

Death: In a letter written to Margaret Cathey Armstrong, by her brother George from Mecklenbu rg
County, North Carolina on 19 July 1857 about their father John Cathey leaving home to b e a
soldier during the Revolutionary War. He was in the battle of Hanging Rock, taken prisone r,and
carried to Charleston (Charles Towne), South Carolina. At the close of the war, his fat her, John
Cathey Sr. started to Charleston for him, but on the way met John Bell who was als o a prisoner in
Charleston. John Bell told John Sr. his son, John, was dead. He died of pneum onia and that he,
John Bell, had helped bury him.Boyt Cathey's book "Cathey Family Histor y and Genealogy Vol I"
Here is an exerpt regarding John Jr. from Dick Cathey:"There is no r ecord of a Revolutionary War
pension by Esther Barber Cathey who was left with 8 young childr en at the time of John's death in
pension by Esther Barber Cathey who was left with 8 young childr en at the time of John's death in
1781. Two letters were discovered and they shed a great dea l of light on the events which
happened during and after the Revolutionary War. John was cap tured by the British and died of
disease while held prisoner at Charleston, South Carolina. S ome think he was captured while
serving in Gen. Sumter's command in the skirmish on 6 Augus t 1780 at Hanging Rock, South
Carolina. This was a preliminary action to the Battle of Camde n where Gen. Gates suffered a
major defeat by the British. (Reference: Page 91 CHAPTER 4)Alt hough both sides claimed victory
at Hanging Rock, Gen. Sumter seems to have had the upper han d and captured a goodly number
of the Tory enemy. It appears that John Jr. was more likely t o have been captured on 18 August
1780 at the Fishing Creek action, which occurred 2 days aft er the main battle at Camden. At
Fishing Creek, Sumter's troops were surprised by Tarleton' s cavalry while they lay exhausted from
the rapid retreat from Camden. Tarleton's troops swep t through the American camp, releasing
over a hundred of their own men who had been capture d at Hanging Rock. They also captured
most of Sumter's men, probably including John Cathey, J r.It was reported that the British at
Charleston kept many of the captured patriots imprison ed on ships at anchor off Charleston. Such
close confinement naturally was adverse to the hea lth of these poor men, they fell victims of
disease and died. John was buried in an unmarke d grave in the Charleston area. (Reference:

Alexander Cathey (RN=2512) was born ca. 1770 in Rowan County, NC. As a child he lived during
the Revolutionary War and heard of the military service of his Cathey and Erwin relatives who lived
in North Carolina. On 8 April 1806 in Sumner County Alexander was married to Mary Malone;

Notes for James Graham:
Brethren Fanning & Lipscomb:--Elder James Graham died in Marion, Ala., on the 19th inst. at the
house of his son-in-law, W. B. Lawson. The deceased was born and raised in Rowan county, N.
Carolina from whence in the early settlement of Tennessee he moved to Sumner county, where he
resided for nearly forty years, within ten miles of Hartsville. He moved from thence to Ky. and from
thence here, where at the good old age of eighty-four years he gave up the ghost. He had been
afflicted for near forty years with the most violent spasms at stated intervals, and had lain in bed for
near eight years before his death, the result of a fall in getting out the church door at the last
protracted meeting held by Bro. Fanning at this place. With all those afflictions he was a man of
remarkable good health, a fine constitution, and of good spirits. He was the last of his family save
one, my mother, having lost seven children mostly within a few years, and his wife only last April.
He was a man of strong mind, of great probity, and sterling worth, aside from his piety.
In the year A. D. 1840 he and his wife on a visit to their Son, Bro. A. Graham of this place, on a
confession of their faith were by him immersed into the names of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
added to the church here, and were ever after ornaments to the cause of Christ. It was truly an
interesting scene to see them at the age of 70 years, with frost-covered heads, descending into the
waters of baptism and putting on Christ. They and all their children lived the lives of Christians and
died the death of the righteous. Oh! what a reflection that these good old people and all their
died the death of the righteous. Oh! what a reflection that these good old people and all their
children shall meet together where no parting, nor sighing, nor grief shall e'er come! Yours in
Christian bonds, P. B. Lawson., Marion, Perry Co., Ala., August 28th, 1856. --Gospel Advocate,
1856, page 346.

Notes for Alexander Graham:
Alexander Graham was born two miles west of Hartsville, Sumner
County, Tennessee, some fifty miles north of Nashville, on the 29th
November, A. D. 1811. He was a small and sickly infant, and at the age
of twelve months came near losing his sight from fever; indeed, never did
he see very well out of one of his eyes. He was dyspeptic from
childhood, and suffered a great deal from that and inflamed eyelids
during his boyish days. He at a very early age acquired the habit of hard
study, and though compelled to follow the plough because of his father's
inability to keep him at school, yet he found time to read by pushing his
horse, getting ahead of the other boys, and then sitting or lying down in
the corner of the fence with his book. Discovering such a desire to learn,
his father sent him as much as his circumstances would allow to such
teachers as the neighborhood afforded; but they were generally inferior,
and knew only the common English branches of study. His habit while at
school was to retire to bed immediately after eating an early and light
supper, and sleep while the other children were at study; but preparing
ash splinters (for they are the lightwood of Tennessee), he arose before
dawn in the morning, and by breakfast was prepared for his recitations.
At this age he was full of what we call dry fun, was continually playing off
his innocent little pranks, but never failed to be prepared with his lesson.
He showed then much more mechanical ingenuity than those who have
known him of late years give him credit for; indeed, I recollect while I was
a pupil of his he made me a clock lacking only the great brass wheel,
and this, in that day and country, was considered a great feat, for
machinery and Yankee ingenuity had not then picked the locks of
English vaults and beaten the Queen's yacht with a merchantman. He
learned reading, writing, grammar, arithmetic, at these neighborhood
schools, and then would teach awhile to pay for his tuition. He went a
short time to Doctor Ring of Gallatin, Tennessee, with whom he
commenced reading Greek and Latin; but his means giving out, he
returned again to teaching and prosecuting his studies, and thus
continued until about his twenty-fourth year, at which time he had by his
own industry, I may say, acquired a fine English education, and read the
Greek and Latin languages well. After his fifteenth year he became a
man in his habits, was apparently very distant in his manners, spent all
his time in reading and scholastic employments, and almost entirely
segregated himself from society. I well recollect his little stone house,
built by himself under some haw-trees in his father's pasture grounds,
where he sat to read during mid-day, and the little path where he walked
and studied night and morning, near a beautiful and gently rippling
stream that played over rocky crags, and seemed lost to the world,
except that part of it where, in nature's sweet solitude, he spent the
cheerful spring, the long and tedious summer days, and the more
propitious autumnal hours. Thus, during vacation, Saturdays, Sundays,
and the times during which he had no other engagements, did he
commune with favorite authors and with nature, drinking in the sweets of
natural scenery, and feasting on the vocal melody in the surrounding
woods. He spent much of his time too in composition both in prose and
poetry. I know that most of those who knew him in his late years
supposed him void of fancy, but he was not unacquainted with the
muses, and often courted them, as various manuscripts show; yet he,
from principle, loved history better than poetry, and logic than rhetoric.
At about the age of eighteen, having become interested in the subject of
Christianity, he united with the Baptist church. He had come very near
being a confirmed infidel, and had hard labor to overcome his difficulties.
This was produced by the misconduct of professors, the divisions in the
Christian world, and by having a skeptical inquiring mind which took
nothing for granted. He must have every thing mathematically
demonstrated, and as moral evidence could not, like figures, be reduced
to this kind of certainty, it was with difficulty he could believe in the truth
of the Christian religion. But to use a homely provincialism, "there is
always a way wherever there is a will," and especially wherever the
Almighty has any hand in a matter. He sat down to the hard study of the
Bible, its history, geography, chronology, morality, and the varied
evidences of its truth and divine original; and got up, as every honest and
impartial inquirer will after such an examination, convinced of its celestial
origin, purity, and indispensability to man. A short time after uniting with
the church, he happened at meeting when the preacher, Elder John
Wiseman, was absent; the congregation were in suspense, he was
asked if he could not read a chapter, sing and pray, to prevent an entire
disappointment. His response was, I will try; and taking out his Bible,
read a passage, and made a speech which would not have been a
discredit even in much more advanced life. He continued to speak in
public in company with Elder Wiseman on Sundays, and taught school
during the week.
In the latter part of 1832, he took the charge of an academy six miles
west of Paris, Tennessee, and preached regularly in the neighborhood.
During this time he became acquainted with what was called by their
friends, the principles or teachings of the "Christians," or "Disciples of
Christ," sometimes known as "Reformed Baptists," but by their enemies
or opposers were called "Campbellites." With their teaching he coincided,
but did not quit his connection with the Baptists till 1834, after he had
returned to Middle Tennessee. On the 5th February, 1834, he left Paris
for his father's, by way of Nashville, and from this time for several years I
find manuscripts of his travels, avocations, discourses, reading, and
many pieces of poetry, and some written addresses delivered at different
places in Tennessee. His mind was just now beginning to develope itself,
and his store of useful knowledge he had just begun to draw upon.
On the 30th of March, 1834, near Gallatin, Tennessee, he and a Doctor
Anderson and one lady met together, and formed a worshipping
congregation upon this broad principle, to wit: They agreed to drop all
party names, to unite as body of Christians on the word of God alone,
forsaking and abjuring all Creeds and Confessions of Faith. In his
forsaking and abjuring all Creeds and Confessions of Faith. In his
manuscript I find these words, written and signed by him on that day. "I
was once a worldling, then a Baptist; but I discard every other name but
that of Christ, of whom I am a Disciple." During the time he was a Baptist
preacher, a period of some five or six years, he wrote out a number of
discourses on various subjects, and especially upon the subject of
Christianity, the manuscripts of which I find in his papers; he also
prepared for his own use a kind of Concordance of the Scriptures, a
chronological table of the events recorded in the Bible, a synopsis of
Ancient History, of the reigns of the different Roman Emperors, Jewish
Rulers, and the Geography of the countries mentioned in the Old and
New Testaments. I mention these matters to show that he made the
Bible his chief study; and it was his critical examination, and clear
understanding of that blessed Book, that induced him to take the step
before mentioned, of forming the little church near Gallatin. This is clear
from letters and notes in his manuscripts, which show he knew nothing of
Mr. Campbell up to 1830, except the misrepresentations of him
published by his enemies, yet he had evidently learned the principles
taught by him to some extent from his friends in Paris. After taking this
decided stand against what he deemed sectarianism, he preached 1st
June, 1934, at Second Creek, where he had been a member of the
Baptist church, from viii. chapter of Acts of Apostles, of which discourse I
have a manuscript copy, and shall append to this work if I can do so
without transcending my limits, for the purpose of showing how clear
were his views of the Scriptures at that early age of his change of faith,
how perfectly in accordance with all his subsequent preaching, and also
with what kindness he treated those who had been and whom he wished
still to consider his brethren, how little he deserved the uncharitable
treatment he received soon after from his father in the faith of the
Gospel, and the sectarian world generally in that region. It is unpleasant
to rehearse the slanders propagated to his prejudice, the
misrepresentations of his preaching, and the personal coldness with
which he met from former friends and associates. I have heard him
speak of it, but as I know his forgiving spirit had buried it all in oblivion
long before his death, I will not now renew it, but will quote a few lines,
being the commencement of his introduction to a discourse delivered at
Gallatin, in which he mentions these misrepresentations.
"Friendly Auditors: A public speaker who has the misfortune to be on the
unpopular side of a question of general interest, labors under the
continual danger of being misunderstood, and misrepresented. Never
perhaps was this truth more clearly exemplified than in the present
controversy in the religious world. There is scarcely a topic in the whole
Christian economy, on which I have addressed the public, without being
misapprehended or intentionally slandered." In the copy of a letter
addressed 10th June, 1834, to Messrs. Stone and Johnson, editors of a
religious periodical, advocating the same gospel taught by Mr. Campbell,
he says, he first knew the latter by the misrepresentations of him found in
the "Baptist Chronicle," to which paper he was a subscriber in 1830; that
from these he had supposed him to be almost the antichrist of Scripture,
that the uncharitableness of the Christian world had caused him to make
his acquaintance through his (Mr. C.'s) paper, the Harbinger. He says
also, that since he had taken the step of forming the little church at
"Electa Cyria" before mentioned, he had met with frowns, and had
gained hard names, but the little band were prospering, and at the end of
that year they numbered forty. Though now much occupied in studying
the Scriptures, preaching and repelling assaults, he did not neglect the
pleasing studies of elocution and poetry, but composed many short
pieces of the latter, and addresses on the former. -- P. B. Lawson.

Notes for Alexander Graham:
Alexander Graham was born two miles west of Hartsville, Sumner County,
Tennessee, some fifty miles north of Nashville, on the 29th November, A. D. 1811.
He was a small and sickly infant, and at the age of twelve months came near losing
his sight from fever; indeed, never did he see very well out of one of his eyes. He
was dyspeptic from childhood, and suffered a great deal from that and inflamed
eyelids during his boyish days. He at a very early age acquired the habit of hard
study, and though compelled to follow the plough because of his father's inability to
keep him at school, yet he found time to read by pushing his horse, getting ahead
of the other boys, and then sitting or lying down in the corner of the fence with his
book. Discovering such a desire to learn, his father sent him as much as his
circumstances would allow to such teachers as the neighborhood afforded; but they
were generally inferior, and knew only the common English branches of study. His
habit while at school was to retire to bed immediately after eating an early and light
supper, and sleep while the other children were at study; but preparing ash splinters
(for they are the lightwood of Tennessee), he arose before dawn in the morning,
and by breakfast was prepared for his recitations. At this age he was full of what we
call dry fun, was continually playing off his innocent little pranks, but never failed to
be prepared with his lesson. He showed then much more mechanical ingenuity than
those who have known him of late years give him credit for; indeed, I recollect while
I was a pupil of his he made me a clock lacking only the great brass wheel, and this,
in that day and country, was considered a great feat, for machinery and Yankee
ingenuity had not then picked the locks of English vaults and beaten the Queen's
yacht with a merchantman. He learned reading, writing, grammar, arithmetic, at
these neighborhood schools, and then would teach awhile to pay for his tuition. He
went a short time to Doctor Ring of Gallatin, Tennessee, with whom he commenced
reading Greek and Latin; but his means giving out, he returned again to teaching
and prosecuting his studies, and thus continued until about his twenty-fourth year,
at which time he had by his own industry, I may say, acquired a fine English
education, and read the Greek and Latin languages well. After his fifteenth year he
became a man in his habits, was apparently very distant in his manners, spent all
became a man in his habits, was apparently very distant in his manners, spent all
his time in reading and scholastic employments, and almost entirely segregated
himself from society. I well recollect his little stone house, built by himself under
some haw-trees in his father's pasture grounds, where he sat to read during
mid-day, and the little path where he walked and studied night and morning, near a
beautiful and gently rippling stream that played over rocky crags, and seemed lost
to the world, except that part of it where, in nature's sweet solitude, he spent the
cheerful spring, the long and tedious summer days, and the more propitious
autumnal hours. Thus, during vacation, Saturdays, Sundays, and the times during
which he had no other engagements, did he commune with favorite authors and
with nature, drinking in the sweets of natural scenery, and feasting on the vocal
melody in the surrounding woods. He spent much of his time too in composition
both in prose and poetry. I know that most of those who knew him in his late years
supposed him void of fancy, but he was not unacquainted with the muses, and often
courted them, as various manuscripts show; yet he, from principle, loved history
better than poetry, and logic than rhetoric.
At about the age of eighteen, having become interested in the subject of
Christianity, he united with the Baptist church. He had come very near being a
confirmed infidel, and had hard labor to overcome his difficulties. This was
produced by the misconduct of professors, the divisions in the Christian world, and
by having a skeptical inquiring mind which took nothing for granted. He must have
every thing mathematically demonstrated, and as moral evidence could not, like
figures, be reduced to this kind of certainty, it was with difficulty he could believe in
the truth of the Christian religion. But to use a homely provincialism, "there is
always a way wherever there is a will," and especially wherever the Almighty has
any hand in a matter. He sat down to the hard study of the Bible, its history,
geography, chronology, morality, and the varied evidences of its truth and divine
original; and got up, as every honest and impartial inquirer will after such an
examination, convinced of its celestial origin, purity, and indispensability to man. A
short time after uniting with the church, he happened at meeting when the preacher,
Elder John Wiseman, was absent; the congregation were in suspense, he was
asked if he could not read a chapter, sing and pray, to prevent an entire
disappointment. His response was, I will try; and taking out his Bible, read a
passage, and made a speech which would not have been a discredit even in much
more advanced life. He continued to speak in public in company with Elder
Wiseman on Sundays, and taught school during the week.
In the latter part of 1832, he took the charge of an academy six miles west of Paris,
Tennessee, and preached regularly in the neighborhood. During this time he
became acquainted with what was called by their friends, the principles or teachings
of the "Christians," or "Disciples of Christ," sometimes known as "Reformed
Baptists," but by their enemies or opposers were called "Campbellites." With their
teaching he coincided, but did not quit his connection with the Baptists till 1834,
after he had returned to Middle Tennessee. On the 5th February, 1834, he left Paris
for his father's, by way of Nashville, and from this time for several years I find
manuscripts of his travels, avocations, discourses, reading, and many pieces of
poetry, and some written addresses delivered at different places in Tennessee. His
mind was just now beginning to develope itself, and his store of useful knowledge
he had just begun to draw upon.
On the 30th of March, 1834, near Gallatin, Tennessee, he and a Doctor Anderson
and one lady met together, and formed a worshipping congregation upon this broad
principle, to wit: They agreed to drop all party names, to unite as body of Christians
on the word of God alone, forsaking and abjuring all Creeds and Confessions of
Faith. In his manuscript I find these words, written and signed by him on that day. "I
was once a worldling, then a Baptist; but I discard every other name but that of
Christ, of whom I am a Disciple." During the time he was a Baptist preacher, a
period of some five or six years, he wrote out a number of discourses on various
subjects, and especially upon the subject of Christianity, the manuscripts of which I
subjects, and especially upon the subject of Christianity, the manuscripts of which I
find in his papers; he also prepared for his own use a kind of Concordance of the
Scriptures, a chronological table of the events recorded in the Bible, a synopsis of
Ancient History, of the reigns of the different Roman Emperors, Jewish Rulers, and
the Geography of the countries mentioned in the Old and New Testaments. I
mention these matters to show that he made the Bible his chief study; and it was his
critical examination, and clear understanding of that blessed Book, that induced him
to take the step before mentioned, of forming the little church near Gallatin. This is
clear from letters and notes in his manuscripts, which show he knew nothing of Mr.
Campbell up to 1830, except the misrepresentations of him published by his
enemies, yet he had evidently learned the principles taught by him to some extent
from his friends in Paris. After taking this decided stand against what he deemed
sectarianism, he preached 1st June, 1934, at Second Creek, where he had been a
member of the Baptist church, from viii. chapter of Acts of Apostles, of which
discourse I have a manuscript copy, and shall append to this work if I can do so
without transcending my limits, for the purpose of showing how clear were his views
of the Scriptures at that early age of his change of faith, how perfectly in
accordance with all his subsequent preaching, and also with what kindness he
treated those who had been and whom he wished still to consider his brethren, how
little he deserved the uncharitable treatment he received soon after from his father
in the faith of the Gospel, and the sectarian world generally in that region. It is
unpleasant to rehearse the slanders propagated to his prejudice, the
misrepresentations of his preaching, and the personal coldness with which he met
from former friends and associates. I have heard him speak of it, but as I know his
forgiving spirit had buried it all in oblivion long before his death, I will not now renew
it, but will quote a few lines, being the commencement of his introduction to a
discourse delivered at Gallatin, in which he mentions these misrepresentations.
"Friendly Auditors: A public speaker who has the misfortune to be on the unpopular
side of a question of general interest, labors under the continual danger of being
misunderstood, and misrepresented. Never perhaps was this truth more clearly
exemplified than in the present controversy in the religious world. There is scarcely

DO YOU MISS ME?
Tell me Dearest, do you miss me within our quiet home
And promise to caress me so fondly when I come?
Full well I know you miss me when all but me are nigh,
And sadly ask where is he and answer with a sigh.
When in the blue horizon the sun has gone to rest,
You think you hear the footsteps of him you love best.
Yes, then I know you miss me when all are in but me.
Yes, then you heart is aching for your absent one to see.
When Sunday morn approaches and bright all nature looks,
Tis’ then your fancy sees me down seated with my books.
Tis’ then your fancy sees me down seated with my books.
Or as we walk at eve together while going to and fro,
We talk of future prospects, and you miss me then I know.
When at the fire side seated the children full of play,
Dear Lucy sweetly sleeping. and all but you are gay.
Or reading in your Bible, you there some comfort see.
And wishing to disclose it, tis’ then you think of me.
When nature’s sweet restorer doth summon you to rest,
Tis’ then you take your Bible, the book you love the best,
And kneeling to our father with all the heavenly host,
You pray for all through Jesus but ask for me the most.
As sickness pays her visit with fever, pain, or chill
And little ones are pleading against the nauseous pill.
While you the pulse are feeling, you wish the tongue to see.
The head with water bathing, tis’ then you think of me.
When at the table seated to take your homely fare,
The children sitting round you, for the father is not there.
Yes, Dearest, then you miss me, and then you heave a sigh
For him who thanks the Giver for blessings on high.
When clouds and thunder threaten and rain in torrents come,
Tis’ then your fancy sees me come walking swiftly home.
Seated by your loved one, again your heart does see
The children flocking round me and Lucy on my knee.
When in that blessed morning with trumpets sounding loud,
And angels come escorting our Savior through the cloud,
We’ll hear the welcome plaudits of faithful ones well done,
Come reign with me forever and stand with my beloved son.
And you will not miss me then.
Written by Sergeant Benjamin Franklin Cathey (sr) at Arkadelphia, Arkansas on October
3, 1863, to his wife.
Benjamin was a member of the Arkansas First Regiment, Major Blocher’s artillery battery,
General Churchill’s Division of the Confederate army of the Trans-Mississippi Department.
Benjamin’s wife was Eliza Elizabeth Sanders. Benjamin and Eliza were the parents of
Benjamin Franklin Cathey (jr) and Tennie May Cathey McGhee. Benjamin would have
been 39 in 1863. The Lucy mentioned in the poem was Benjamin and Eliza’s first child.
She would have been one year old that same year.
Incidently, during several battles, Benjamin’s unit fought along side the Missouri unit
Newton McGhee (AKA Newton John) served with-the 16th Missouri Infantry. The Missouri
boys were also camped at Arkadelphia that same fall Benjamin wrote this poem for his
wife. Newton was also a poet, but there’s no evidence he and Benjamin ever met.
However, Newton did know some of the soldiers of the Texas 22nd Infantry who served in
the same theater of war and became friends with one of them, Levi Franklin Banks, the
brother of Mary Elvira, and after the war, Newton’s wife. It is quite a coincidence that a
few years after the war, Benjamin Franklin Cathey’s entire family had moved from
Arkansas to within five miles of where Newton had his farm in East Texas near the little
hamlet of Quitman. And of course, that’s how Newton’s son, John Henry McGhee came to
meet Tennie May Cathey.

Notes for Pickney B Lawson:
Gospel preacher in Alabama mentioned in the Barton Stone's Christian Messenger.
The Life and Work of P. B. Lawson
Pinckney B. Lawson was a native of Marion, Alabama, a lawyer and a successful preacher among
the Disciples of Christ in Alabama and Mississippi. His preaching was largely that of an itinerant
evangelist, filled with a zeal to reform the "sects." He wrote extensively for current religious
magazines and kept them informed of the happenings in his native state. When Alexander Graham
died, Lawson edited a book of his sermons together with an introduction and a biographical sketch.
In 1847, there appeared in the Millennial Harbinger, a letter from Lawson, in which he complained
of the shortage of evangelists in his region. For it seems to me that the brethren proclaimers hardly
know that there are disciples in this latitude, and surely are not aware that here is one of the finest
fields for good laborers in the whole South and Southwest. We have no periodical in this part of the
country, and scarcely a proclaimer; yet we have an intelligent, honest, candid, thinking, and
wealthy population. The people are disposed to be religious... Brother A. Graham has lived here
some eight or ten years, preaching almost every Lord's day. For several years previous to and for
eighteen months after building, we numbered seven or eight members; among whom was brother
Graham and lady and myself and wife... there are now in this place, and the immediate
neighborhood, about sixty. He continued his description of the conditions in Marion, reporting
preaching trips and finished by requesting that some of the "proclaimers" came into the state to aid
the cause. (Millennial Harbinger, Series III, IV, No. 12 (December, 1847), 711-713.)
Commenting upon the situation in Alabama in 1848, John R. M'Call, one of the Disciples
evangelists, wrote that "if there were a few devoted and able evangelists in South Alabama, in
addition to our devoted brethren Lawson, Graham, Hooker, and Caskey, soon would this land of
the South rejoice in the glorious principles of the gospel. (Ibid., Series III, V, No. 7 (July, 1848),
413.) Alexander Graham died at his home in Marion, in 1851, and Lawson wrote his obituary and
sent it to the Millennial Harbinger accompanied by a biographical sketch of Graham's life. The
obituary was published but Campbell did not have space in the Harbinger to publish the biography.
Lawson thereupon collected a number of Graham's sermons, edited them and included them in a
publication with the biography. The work was printed (1853) in a ninety-six page booklet entitled
The Life and Character, to which is added some of the Addresses and Sermons, of Alexander
Graham, Teacher of the Christian Church, in Marion, Alabama, and sold for fifty cents per copy.
(Ibid., Series IV, I, No. 6 (June, 1851) 359-360; P. B. Lawson, op. cit., Title page.)
With the help of Mrs. E. C. Lavender and "Aunt Elvirie," a negro slave cook in the Lavender family,
Lawson was able to organise a church of seven members in Selma about the year 1852. From
such a beginning, this church grew to be one of the most influential congregations in the state.
John I. Rogers and P. B. Lawson were long its ministers, while Alexander Campbell, Jacob Creath,
Tolbert fanning, and W. H. Hooker were among its distinguished visiting preachers. (J.W. Henry,
op. cit,. III, No. 8 (April, 1906), 1,) That year Lawson also reported that Jacob Creath held a
meeting in Marion during which Robert Graham, Baptist preacher and brother of Alexander
meeting in Marion during which Robert Graham, Baptist preacher and brother of Alexander
Graham, was converted. Lawson's wife was also converted, although "raised by an excellent
Scotch Presbyterian mother."(Millennial Harbinger. Series IV, II, No. 1 (January, 1852), 59.) In
December, of the same year, Lawson, W. P. Kight, Bartlett Billiard, and Robert Graham were in a
"co-operation meeting" at Fair Prospect in Montgomery County. Fifteen people made the "noble
confession and were immersed. (Ibid.. Series IV, II, No. 12 (December, 1852), 717.) In September,
1855, Lawson, Kight, and Kirkpatrick held another meeting at Fair Prospect, resulting in twelve
additions. Kirkpatrick reported that Lawson was "in the field and doing good service for our Lord
and King."(Ibid., Series IV, V, No. 1 (January, 1855), 55.) Alexander Campbell made a visit
through Alabama in 1857, arriving in Selma on Saturday night of April fourth. He was met by P. B.
Lawson, upon whose invitation he had come, R. T. Gorse and L. L. Rowland. On the following
Wednesday evening they "went out to brother Lawson's, where we enjoyed several hours of social
conversation." Lawson and his wife carried Campbell to Greensboro, and thence to Mt. Hebron
where Major Berry entertained them. At the various places of their visits, Lawson also delivered
sermons. Campbell wrote: Our gifted brother Lawson spoke occasionally at night meetings during
our visit in Columbus. He is one of our most edifying, interesting, and successful preachers, as I
should judge from the discourses which I myself heard from him; and of which I had ample
evidence at all the points I visited in Alabama, from the brethren, who narrated to me his labors,
and success in the gospel. (Ibid., Series IV, VII, No. 8 (September, 1857), 502-507.) During 1858,
1859, and 1860, Lawson was preaching and holding revival meetings in Perry County, Columbus,
Mississippi, at Bragg's store in Lowndes County, at Pine Apple, Wilcox County, County Lime in
Dallas County, and at Selma. In January, 1858, he preached the funeral of Robert T. Goree of
Marion, who had been a member of the church in that place since 1849. The next June, Lawson
sent an appeal to the brotherhood, through the pages of the Harbinger, for an evangelist to work in
middle Alabama. (Ibid., Series V, I, No. 3 (February, 1858), 120; ibid., Series V, I, No. 7 (July,
1858), 420; ibid,, Series V, I, No. 4 (April, 1858), 239-240; ibid.. Series V, I, No. 9.(September,
1858), 537; ibid., Series V, III, No. 2 (February, 1860), 115; ibid.. Series V, II, No. 6 (June, 1859),
349.) In the 1860's a plan of national co-operation, which provided for district, state, and national
missionary societies. The churches were to elect representatives to the district meetings, and the
district meetings in turn were to send representatives to the state organization meetings. In the
national meetings, there were to be representatives from the state and district organizations. The
plan was adopted by the National Convention of Disciples of Christ which convened in Louisville,
Kentucky, in 1870, and was known as the "Louisville Plan." The Disciples of Christ in Mississippi
had organized their state society and called it the "Mississippi Cooperation Meeting."(Ibid., Series
V, II, No. 3 (March, 1859), 180.) When the Louisville Plan came before the Mississippi Meeting in
1870, there was a heated debate over the plans. Lawson was in the meeting and took his stand
with these in favor of this organization. The next year, from Marion, Alabama, under the date of
November 18, he addressed the following communication to the brethren in Alabama, through the
columns of The Christian Monthly: At a meeting of Disciples of Christ this day. Resolved, that we
most cordially and most earnestly invite the brethren throughout the State to meet with the
congregation at this place on Thursday before the 2nd Lord's day in December next, in a general
convention of the Christian Church for the State of Alabama.... the congregations in the state be
requested to send delegates and such statistics as will enable the convention to ascertain the
condition and wants of the churches.... all preachers in the State are especially requested to be
present and as many from without the State as can conveniently come-- that it is the earnest desire
of this church to consult with all other churches in this State and with them to cooperate in adopting
such scriptural ways and means for the spread of the gospel in Alabama, as their joint research
may suggest. -P. B. Lawson, Elder, (Ibid., II, No. 11 (November, 1871), 51).
At this time Lawson was connected with the law firm of Lawson and Moore, which, according to an
advertisement, were "Attorneys at Law and Solicitors in Chancery, at Marion," and would practice
in "the Courts of Perry and adjoining counties." (Ibid., II, No. 5 (May, 1871), 239; ibid.. II, No. 10
(October, 1871), 479.) During the summer of 1871, he attended the State Meeting of the churches
in Mississippi at Aberdeen, after which he went to a meeting at Pine Apple in Wilcox County,
Alabama, where he preached in co-operation with Adams, Barnett, and Kirkpatrick. Commenting
on conditions in that section he said: Twelve years ago I organized a church at Pine Apple with
seven members. There are now about one hundred. Brethren Adams, Barnett, Kirkpatrick and
Jordan labor in that section and have quite a number of growing congregation. (Ibid., II, No. 7 (July,
1871), 322.) The same year, The Christian Monthly carried two articles written by Lawson upon the
subject of "Christian Union." In these articles he raised two questions: first, "Is union among all the
subject of "Christian Union." In these articles he raised two questions: first, "Is union among all the
followers of our Lord and Saviour desirable?" and the second questions "Can such a union be
consummated?" His answer, of course, wag in the affirmative for both of these questions and. his
reasons were the stock arguments used by the "Reformation" preachers in proclaiming unity. (lbid.,
II, No. 2 (February, 1871), 55-55; ibid., II, No. 3 (March, 1871), 104-107.) In 1874 he was laboring
at Pine Apple, Gasket Bottom, Dublin, Plantersville, continuing his evangelistic work, while keeping
up his practice of law at Marion." (The Southern Christian Weekly, III, No. 15 (Mountain Home,
Alabama, October 7, 1874), 345-346.) Richard L. James, The Disciples Of Christ In Alabama,
