He left to his beloved wife Margaret, the land where the were living for her widowhood and at her decease to be sold and equally divided among all his children. She is to have the stock, furniture, etc. All my estate, real & personal, to be sold after the decease of Margaret and the money equally divided among all my children. To daughter Margaret, the horse she claims, two head of cattle, two beds & furniture. To daughter Dorkes, one colt which she now claims, two head of cattle, one bed & furniture. To Granddaughter Mary Cashatt, one chest. Son John and friend Thomas Hadley to be executors.

Signed: John Cashatt. Witnesses: Simon Johnson, John Hadley.

Margaret Cashatt is buried in Cashatt Cemetery in Parke County, Indiana. The gravestone indicates that Margaret was in her 97th year when she died. The best guess is that she was born about 1745 and died about 1842.

Notes and Other Records

To do:

  • Get copy of will signed on 27 Nov 1810 in Chatham Co., NC.
  • Get census records.

Proof of lineage notes:

  • Still looking for proof. Looks like will states "all my children" and only mentions 3 by name.

John Cashatt was born in 1744 in Ireland. He appeared in the census in 1790 in Chatham County, North Carolina. He signed a will on 27 November 1810 in Chatham County, North Carolina. John died before 1813 at the age of 69 in Chatham County, North Carolina.

From FindAGrave.com written by Lee Griffin:

Margaret was granted a membership transfer from Cane Creek Monthly Meeting in Chatham County, North Carolina to Fairfield Monthly Meeting in Highland County, Ohio on September 4, 1813. No record has been found that she was received into Fairfield.

Margaret may have accompanied her daughter, Mary, and son-in-law, Thomas Ratcliff, to Ohio as there is a biography that indicates that Thomas and Mary moved to Ohio in 1813. The same biography indicates that Thomas and Mary moved on to Fountain County, Indiana in 1829.

It is also possible that Margaret accompanied her son, John, and daughter-in-law, Welmet, from North Carolina to Parke County, Indiana in about 1825.

Margaret is buried in Cashatt Cemetery in Parke County, Indiana. The gravestone indicates that Margaret was in her 97th year when she died. The best guess is that she was born about 1745 and died about 1842.

Her daughter, Mary, and son-in-law, Thomas Ratcliff, are buried in the same cemetery.
