Where does it say he was born Cat Pennsylvania ?

It wasn't until 1 January 1906 that birth and death records were officially recorded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Most counties also recorded births and deaths from 1893 to 1906. Not all people chose to comply, however, so many births and deaths from this period were not registered. These pre-1906 vital records have no central depository but can be found in their respective county courthouses.

If the 1891 census is correct in terms of birthplaces they must have decided that didn't like it very quickly :)
