Colonel Levi Cathell Jr. was the son of Revolutionary War Veteran Levi Cathell and the brother of James Porter Cathell, the father of Mitchell Kershaw Cathell. Although sucessful on the Eastern Shore, he left for Baltimore in 1845 to provide more opportunities and better education for his children. The extent that he associated with his newphew, Mitchell K. Cathell and family is not known. Levi Cathell, Jr. family was large and included Joseph Owen Winton Cathell whose death notice appeared in a Baltimore County newspaper, below. Author's note April 2012- although the 1970's Ralph Winton Cathell booklet has Mitchell Kershaw Cathell descended from the Levi Cathell line, there is contravening geographical and naming convention evidence that this is not correct, rather descent from the Jonathan Cathell line seems more likely.

CATHELL, JOSEPH

The will of Joseph Cathell, admitted to probate on Wednesday, gives his entire estate to his widow, and letters of administration, with the will annexed, were granted to his daughter Miss Mary J. Cathell. Mr. Cathell, who died about three weeks ago, was a well known farmer near Sweet Air.

Baltimore County Union, 18 Jan 1902

According to researcher Harley Cathell, Joseph was listed as an apprentice butcher on the Eastern Shore in 1850, so he came to Baltimore after the rest of his family. He continued his butcher profession in Baltimore, retiring to a farm in north of Baltimore. His family included the daughter listed above, Haste Webster Cathell, and one of the preeminent family researchers, Ralph Winton Cathell whose book published in 1972 is the backbone for all research on the family. One of Ralph helpers, Arthur Connelly (of the Jonathan Cathell family) was the man who tried unsuccessfully to make contact with the West Virginia branch of the family.
