Question:Cathus (its for a girl)? I have never in my life of this, I'm curious what it is as it might be helpful in my family tree search.
Could this name possibly be German or Scottish? It isn't English that's for sure.

Cathus was a Welsh name used for several hundred years.

I found this name on a search I did for someone, the surname was Moody, are you the same person. At the time when I did the search I checked everywhere I could to see if I could find the name. That is the only time I have ever seen the name on a 1850 USA census return.

never heard of it are you sure of the spelling???
