“About 1833 Robert D Cato, a licensed Exhorter, moved out from South Carolina to Georgia and bought land in Heard County, but soon became dissatisfied and sold out and came over to Troup County and bought land there. About this time his widowed sister Mary B. Ellison came out from S. Carolina and made her home at the house of her brother Robert.”
