Grandmother Weatherford's ancestry:
Catherine married in 1811 Charlotte Virginia
listed as daughter of Charles
See #76
1810 census of Charlotte Virginia includes Patsy Weatherford and 3
daughters.
While several Weatherfords settled in South Carolina or N.C. ,
Martin moved his family into Georgia in the 1700s. Martin was a Loyalist (fought for the British!!)
and his son Charles was enlisted in the Georgia Militia.
Ben I do not know of but he is there also in 1779
Charles was the son of Mary half blood and Martin Weatherford all
born in Virginia but the Alabama history books refer to him as a
Scotchman
Martin married twice that we know of and Charles may have had
several wives.
Several books have been written about the Weatherfords and their
associations with indians, how they fought with the British, and kept company
with many well known names in history like McIntosh, McQueen, Durant, Tait,
Baily, McGillvary, Marchand, Cornell, Hawkins, Pickett but the
complete truth may never be known.
This Charles is a landowner in 1750 so he may have been the brother
of Martin....but also could have been the son of Martin and the mate of
Patsy.

Weatherford being his granny.
