THE KITHCART ANCESTRY.
The Kithcarts are Anna Wittich's mothers parents and grandparents on her
fathers side
Joseph Kithcart the father of Mary, who was his third daughter and fourth
child, was the son of John and Sarah (White) Kithcart, or
"Cathcart" who were born in county Antrim, Ireland, the one in
1737 and the other in 1740. They emigrated to America in early times but
it is not known at what time they removed west of the mountains, nor where
their children were born.
It is a tradition amoung the Kithcarts that the name was originally
"Cathcart" when their ancestor John came to America, but that
when he settled in Fayette County, PA, his grant of land was by mistake
recorded as "Kithcart" in the title books of Virginia, which at
that early day claimed jurisdiction over that part of Western
Pennsylvania, and in order to hold the title, the family took the name of
"Kithcart". My father says there was no relationship existing
between the Kithcarts and old Uncle David Cathcart, although they lived
only nine miles apart and visited each other. The Kithcart homestead was
in that part of Fayette County east of the Youghrogheny River, near the
old Mount Vernon furnace six miles from Connellsville, on the road to Mt.
Pleasant, or near that road. Here John Kithcart died Oct. 26, 1812. His
wife Sarah White had died before him, on March 4, 1798.
They had three children: Mary, born 1766; died March 4, 1788, Thomas, who
was killed at a barn raising on October 5, 1792, when he was twenty-four
years of age,- he was to have been married th next week; Joseph, the
father of Mary who was married to Elizabeth Cunningham, - they had in all
ten children.
