In 1857 John McMunn Cathcart followed his cherished desire of coming to Iowa and settled in Indiana township, Marion county. He was in agriculture and stock raising. He also served on the board of supervisors an as the justice of peace. In 1869 he was elected to represent the county in the State Senate. He and his wife Nancy raised seven children. One son died in the Civil War. The other four sons were "recognized among the leading men of Marion county (History of Marion Cty, 1881)."
