A Bridget REPORTE aged 50 a Servant born Ireland was with the family. 1870 Center, La Porte, Indiana, USA 1880 Whitewater, Walworth, Wisconsin, USA (I have information that Benoni died in 1879 but all details tie up for this Census although he and his wife are down with initials he is down as B M NEWKIRK aged 77 New York, USA and Jane is down as J B NEWKIERK aged 67 born Maderia, so really cannot be anybody else Having looked at the Gravestone there is no date on it. The person who has done most of the research for the family has no death date on this research. So we can assume he was buried where I have it but not in 1879. 1850 Center, La Porte, Indiana, USA. 1860 La Porte, La Porte, Indiana, USA .

Daughter of Revolutionary War Patriot James Leander Cathcart of Pennsylvania, and Jane Woodside. DAR Real Daughter The New York Times (Oct. 6, 1906): MRS. NEWKIRK, AUTHOR, DEAD Two of Her Books Were Published After She Was 83. La Porte, Ind., Oct. 5. — Mrs. Jane B. Newkirk, an author, died here today, aged 93. Within ten years she had published two books – "The Captives," a narrative of the Algerian enslavement of her father, James Leander Cathcart, who afterward was in the United States Consular Service in Africa, and "Tripoli and Tunis," an account of American negotiations with the Barbary powers for the abolishment of piracy. (It is from these books that most of the information for James Leander CATHCART is found) Most of the information for the CATHCARTs in the USA from the book of Jane NEWKIRK née CATHCART. The contents of these books have been put online and are too much to put on my pages. These do give in much more detail the lives of the various members of the family, especially the father of Jane. 1850 Center, La Porte, Indiana, USA. 1860 La Porte, La Porte, Indiana, USA . A Bridget REPORTE aged 50 a Servant born Ireland was with the family. 1870 Center, La Porte, Indiana, USA 1850 Center, La Porte, Indiana, USA. There is a lot of information on the CATHCART charts, I thank all of those who have by various means provided the large amount of detail which will be found about this family, especially to Eric CATHCART who gave me a start with this family, and also to his family tree on Ancestry.com. I have found other material on the Web and I have used this information on these pages as it brings together a lot of the information available for this most interesting family.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.

If you have comments, alterations, corrections, amendments etc. please follow the details to be found on the Home Page to contact me.
