I recently married a Cates and am interested in starting his family tree. Unfortunatley nobody knows what nationality the name comes from. Can anyone help??
Hi All:
Does anyone have a copy of WFT Vol. 6? I understand there is an Eli
Cate listed under Tree numbers 1075 and 11666. If he was born 25 April
1813 and married Sarah Tunnell, he is the one I'm searching for. Let me
know.
Thanks, Orvis

Hi Ed,
Have you checked the tombstone of Jesse yourself? It could have been
a typo in the tombstone transcription or a misread 8 for a 2. The
line up of the children appear to be in the correct order by age if
he was born in 1852 he would be between Rachel & Mary Jane.
On the census the ages were not very accurate it depended on who gave
the census info from a child to a neighbor. James in 1850 was 28
living with his parents so it appears the 1870 age is off since he
was 37 in 1860, 52 in 1870 & 57 in 1880. But this brings up another
problem Peter 16 & James 14 in 1860, are these children by a 1st wife
or his wife's children? If James was 28 in 1850 living with his
parents where are Peter & James?
His wife Ann?/ Sarah was listed as 25 in 1860 & 45 in 1870 & 55 in
1880 so her age appears to be incorrect in 1860.
Or Ann is a different wife.
Does anyone else have any other documentation?

Hello everyone, I just got back from Knoxville. I am sorting through a lot of
data so give me some time.
Everyone thinks Jessie Thomas CATE (son of James Baldwin, son of James) was
born in 1852--it even says that on his stone at Cate Cemetery, Dumplin.
Then how do we explain the 1860 and 1870 census' which show that he was born
in 1858? If Jessie was 2 in 1860, he must have been born in 1858. If he was
12 in 1870, he must have been born in 1858.
I would like to know if anyone can explain this. And by the way, how can
Baldwin be 37 in 1860 and be
52 only 10 years later. ED

To All:
Thanks to the many people who responded to my 13 May mail to
Pat. I am grateful for all the information, and it is now in my
"presently unrelated" Cate file. Hopefully, my search for Eli B. Cate
will be fruitful, and I'll be able to identify which of these people
were relatives of gg-grandad Eli.
Orvis
I have been examining all of the recent mail with great interest.
I am currently looking for the ancestors of :
Richard Cate b. abt 1779 in Virginia, died May 20, 1853
abt. 1799 he married:
Elizabeth Tharp b. abt 1781 in Virginia, died Nov. 4, 1863
Both died in Williamsburg, Indiana
They had 14 children:
Jane, Celia, Mary, John, Silas,Jesse,Samuel, Richard (Baldwin), Epharim,
Daniel, Rachel, Priscilla, Elizabeth and Anderson.
My line goes from Richard (Baldwin).
Can anyone make a connection from this Richard Cate(s) to his ancestors?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
Below are a few articles that I found in the defunct (?) publication,
"Confederate Veteran", while visiting the McClung Library at Knoxville a
couple of weeks ago:
Confederate Veteran, Vol. 11, Pg. 80, 1903:
William Carroll Cates was born Aug. 13, 1840 and died Nov. 14, 1902.
He volunteered Aug. 2, 1861, and became a member of the 41st Tenn.
Regiment, C.S.A. The regiment was surrendered at Ft. Donelson in Feb.,
1862 and the privates were carried to Camp Morton, Indiana, where they
were kept till the Sept. Following, and were then sent to Vicksburg, MS,
for exchange. This command was recognized and participated in many
battles. Among the severer were Raymond, Miss., Jackson, Port Huron,
Missionary Ridge, Chickamauga, Resaca, Ga., New Hope Church, Atlanta,
Jonesboro, Franklin, and Nashville. "Cal" Cates always discharged his
duty fully. At Missionary Ridge, he was severely wounded in the
shoulder. On another occasion an exploding shell covered his body with
earth, and on July 22, 1864, near Atlanta, he received an ounce Minnie
ball in his hip. It lodged near his spine and could not be extracted;
hence he carried it in his body to the grave. Recovering sufficiently
with the ball in his hip, he again joined his command at Corinth, Miss.,
and kept up as best he could until he reached North Carolina and at
Greensboro was paroled on April 30, 1865.
No man ever lived who was more loyal to the cause he espoused and for
which he fought so long and bled so freely; no man ever lived who was
prouder of his record. It is said they could never take his life nor
shake his integrity. After the surrender he of course made a quiet,
worthy citizen. "He was honest to the penny." Comrade Cates belonged
to Frierson Bivouac, of Shelbyville, TN, which passed memorial
resolutions in his honor.
The editor of the Veteran was his comrade, knew him intimately, and had
his patronage and his blessing from its beginning. He made and held
friends without effort. There was a subtle wit in his ordinary
conversation which made his company most agreeable. He was faithful to
his friends; who could continue to buy from the same merchants, never
looking for better bargains from others. On one occasion he was going
by a store to purchase an article, when a solicitor for trade said to
him: "We keep that." "Yes" he replied, "and Carney sells it."
He was amusingly economical. For instance, he carried in his knapsack
a pair of blue trousers issued to him in prison, 1862, through the
severe eventful campaigns that followed quite onto the end of the war.
The picture here given will interest those who knew him. (Small picture
of W. C. Cates included with article showing a dark complected man with
a long dark beard.)
Since the above was ready for the press, a report of proceedings of
William Frierson Bivouac (Camp) has been received, in which a committee
comprised of Robert Singleton, Joe H. Hastings, and J. F. Johnston
presented a highly eulogistic tribute to Comrade Cates as a man true to
all of the responsibilities of life.
Confederate Veteran, Vol. 35, Pg. 467, 1927:
Silas Cate, age 81 years, prominent farmer of Henry Co., TN, and last
surviving member of Paris Commandery No. 16, Knights Templar, died at
his home near Henry, during August, 1927.
After funeral services in the Methodist church at Henry, in which
members of the Knights Templar and Masonic lodges assisted, his body was
laid away in Little Shiloh Cemetery near Mansfield.
Comrade Cate was a native of Henry County and spent practically his
entire lifetime on the farm, being regarded as one of the best planters
of the county and a very useful citizen of his community. His father,
Jim Cate, a native of North Carolina, settled in the county before the
war. At the outbreak of the War between the States, Silas Cate followed
thousands of other Southerners in answer to the call of duty, serving
throughout the 4 year struggle between the States.
He was married to Miss Martha Chandler shortly after the war, and to
this union 6 children were born. Surviving him are 3 sons and 2
daughters.
Always held in high esteem by his neighbors and friends, Comrade Cate
took an active part in the Church, social and farm life of his community
. He was a devout member of the Methodist Church at Henry. Originally
a member of the old Gilbert Commandery No. 6, Knights Templar, at
McKenzie, he moved his membership to the local Commandery in 1875, when
Paris Commandery was granted a charter. He went to this Commandery as
an official, and in the 53 years of active membership in the
organization served that lodge in many of its most important offices.
He was also a member of the Masonic Lodge at Henry.
Confederate Veteran, Vol. 37, Pg. 268, 1929:
Capt. Adolphus B. Cates died at his home in Newnan, Ga., on January 13.
He was born in Eutaw, Ala., in 1840, and was therefore in his 90th year
. Losing his mother at the age eighteen months, he was taken by his
father on horseback to his maternal grandmother, Mrs. James Lyon, of
McMinnville, Tn. where he was raised. His grandfather was the son of
Matthew Lyon who mounted and fired the first piece of artillery of the
Revolution.
Young Cates graduated from Union University at Murfreesboro, Tn., in
1860, and was teaching at New Middleton, Tn., when the war came on.
There his schoolboys formed a company and made him captain, and this
became Company D, of the 9th Tennessee Cavalry. He was with the Army on
the retreat through Tennessee, North Alabama into Mississippi, at
Corinth. Later he was made captain of another company in Col. William
Ward's regiment and attached to John H. Morgan's Division of Cavalry.
Being wounded near Murfreesboro, Tenn., in 1863, he was assigned by
General Hardee to provost duty at Newnan, Ga., where he married Miss
Lucia Robinson of that place, who died in 1917.
After the war, Comrade Cates, was for a number of years in newspaper
work, having connected with the "Western Recorder", of Louisville, KY,
1872 to 1880, when he brought an interest in the Herald at Newnan, Ga.,
and lived there until his death. For almost fifty years he had been
deacon in the Baptist Church of Newnan, and was also active in its
Sunday school. He is survived by a daughter and a son, both of Newnan.
Confederate Veteran, Vol. 37, Pg. 397, 1929:
Veterans of Henry Co., TN.... There are twenty-two Confederate veterans
still living in Henry Co., Tenn., the youngest of whom is 82 and the
oldest 92 years of age. The names and ages are as follows: .....William
Lloyd, 84........., Pink Cate, no age given.......

Hi,
I'm looking for the parents of Jennie Cates. The only information I have
is that she was born around 1850 in TN. She married Thomas Rivers. They
lived in TN until around 1878, moved to Texas and the last place I found
them was in Indian Territory, Chickasaw Nation, OK in 1900.
If anybody can help I would really appreciate it. I have hit a brick wall

Orvis,
Mary Enyart who married William Cate is connected to the Abraham
Enyart in NC, probably a cousin. I have researched the Enyarts but
have not found a connection to James & Elizabeth Cate.
Lavina Hickman b. ca 1824 TN I have no parents, birth from census. I
have Abraham Enyard Cate as her husband not Enyard Abraham. I also
don't have the parents of Humphrey Hickman husband of Charlotte

To all,
Reference to the comment in Orvis Bowers e-mail on Phil Castine - now
deceased. He was cousin of my first wife, now deceased. I have copies of his
pedigree charts and exchanged numerous letters with him on the CATE line.
His source data is essentially that currently being used by all of us -
which unfortunately has family lines that are not yet proven. It is my hope
that by exchanging our data and sources we may be able to sort out how the
CATE/CATES came to this country and what the pedigree lines are.
Good luck on your searching.

Hi all,
>From time to time some one locates a books and posts information
from that book onto the list. Well, while digging through one of my
piles of source information for data for another party, I suddenly
realized that I have 14 pages copied from Edward Earle Cates and
Maynard. R. Sanborne book "The Cate-Cates Family of New-England",
published by Marken & Bielfeld, Frederick, MD, 1904, 2 p.l., 52p.
(Library of Congress - Call Number CS71.C357 1904, LCCN 04005931) This
is the only book listed in the LOC under Genealogy: CATE or CATES. I
went to
my local library to see if I could find a copy of it, and was informed
of the
library locations where (reference only) copies are held. There are
less than
20 copies in the United States. (2 are in OH, one in Cinncinati and one
in Toledo)
So, I thought I would share some of the information that is in my pages,
some
may have already been posted by other and my will just be a repeat.
So here we go.
This must be the table of contents;

Southern Branch of the Cates Family
Derivations of the Name Cate or Cates
Sketches of Prominent American Cates

This posting will contain the paragraph pertaining to the first topic:
Builders of Visible and Invisible Structures
The Cates may well be called builders. On the Continent, or
in
England, from earliest times, we find them builders of
homes,
governments, churches and civilizations.
In New England and Virginia they helped clear the
wilderness,
and in its stead erected homes which contributed more to the
promanence of the colonies than any other one factor - - A
permanence that was to be the building fabric of great
common-
wealths, which in time would coaalesoe into a great nation.
The first three generations of one Cates family in New
Hampshire
were carpenters, builders of their own homes, also of homes
for
their neighbors. The home builders were to have decendents
who were teachers, preachers, legislators, soldiers and
jurists,
builders of institutions which were to constitute the
invisible
frame-work of America.
Now to stay in order with this list, an excerpt from Vol. 9 of the State
papers
of North Carolina.
Thomas Cates's father was John Cates and not Joseph.
Joseph, Stephen, and Robert were brothers of John Cates who
was the father of Thomas who was the father of John Sykes
Cates,
Joseph Cates, William Cates, Susan, Mary, Sallie, Temple,
and
Martha Cates.
Jo and John Cates landed in Virginia in 1635.
William R. Cates, is a mail carrier, lives in Mansfield, TN
His father is W.D. Cates, and grandfather is Thomas F. Cate,
and
his great grandfather is John S. Cate. Thomas F. Cate is
from NC.
Dr. C.N. Cates, lives in Indian Mound, TN
Charley Cates lives in Cross Bridge, TN
Green Cates who lives in Bridgeport, AL has sons:
Claude, Raymon, Chester Cates
