Sally,
Do you have the marriage of Eliza Ann Hickman to John Houston Cate?
I was working on that line & I have the censuses with John's wife as
Susan, Susannah 1850 & 1860 TN & Eliza Ann in 1870 in MO.
The marriage record is 1846 TN to Ann Hickman. Is Susan, Susannah the
Ann Hickman?

I need help!!! My gg grandfather was Charles Claiborn CATE born in
McMinn Co, TN in 1847. (A cousin said that she also has seen 1840.) He
came to TX (Hopkins Co/Hunt Co area) in 1859. His brother Tom had the
first store in Black Jack Grove, now Cumby, TX in Hopkins Co. I have a
note that Charles' farm was in adjoining Hunt Co, TX. I don't know if
their parents also moved to TX.

SOUTHERN FAMILIES
Some records of southern families have been found buth nothing
complete. Benjamin B. Cates (M.D., University of Pennsylvania, 1888) is
a physician in Knoxville, Tenn. and Professor of Surgery in the
Tennessee Medical College, (Knoxville, Tenn.) His brother, Reuben L.
Cates a graduate of the Yale Law School, is District Attorney-General
for Knox Co., Tenn., and his cousin, Charles Theodore Cates, Jr., is
Attorney-General for the State of Tennessee and Supreme Court Reporter.
The southern family starts with Joseph Cates and John Kates, who
immigrated to Virginia in 1635. Some of their decendents emigrated
thence to Orange Co., NC, and thence spread through Kentucky and
Tennessee. We find both spellings of the name - Cate and Cates. Some
families have been found both here and in New England with spelling
Kates.

CATES, borrowed from Grace Cates SALSBURG, Central City, KY by Ora Long
Cates DUNCAN, daughter of John Green Cates, I, in 1944.)
THE CATE OR CATES FAMILY
The stronghold of the Cates Family in America seems to have been in
the Eastern part of New England, including areas of Connecticut, Maine,
and New Hampshire, whence they drifted West over pioneer trails that
lead through the Great Lakes States, several members reaching and giving
a good account of themselves in California. From an early Virginia
settler, decendents founded homes in adjoining states, and as far South
West as Texas.
While of limited numbers on local census rolls, the family name of
Cate is found in more forms, in more countries than most other surnames.
Those settling in America in the early part of the 17th century came
from the vicinity of Norfolk, England, and may have been related to the
Codde of the Doomsday Book.
BUILDERS OF VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE STRUCTURES
The Cates may well be called builders. On the Continent or in
England, from the earliest times, we find them builders of homes,
governments, churches, and civilizations. In New England and Virginia
they helped clear the ?Wilderness, and in it's stead erected homes which
contributed more to the permanance of the Colonies than any other one
factor. A permanance that was to be the building fabric of great Common
Wealths, which in time would coalesce 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. These 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.
EARLY HISTORY OF THE CATE OR CATES FAMILY
Through the middle ages, the name Cate or Cates is found in various
forms; Katt, Cate, Cates, Catus, Cattus, Le Cat, or La Kat.
In Guppy's Homes of Family Names we find this; Catt is an ancient, East
county name. It occurred in Norfolk and Essex in the 13th century and
remained a Norfolk name until the 15th century or later.
Barber in "Brish Family Names", their Origin and Meaning, states the
forms of the name in different countries;
In Norway, Kottre
In Denmark, Kett
In German, Kathe or Katte
In Holland, Kate or Kat
In "Family Names and Their Story", S. Baring-Gould states: The name
Catt (or Cate) probably came from the Low Countries; Reenforcing the
suggestion of Barber that the name Cate originated in the Netherlands.
There were living in Normandy in 1180, William and Roger Catus;
Roger Catus was still alive in 1198. Rudolph Cattus was living in
Lincoln in 1198, and Alexander La Catt was on the parish rolls of
Norfolk, England in 1272. The names abound in Norfolk records for more
than six centuries.
A Christopher Catt kept a Coffee House in London at which assembled
a club of wits of Queen Ann's time. The members resolved to be painted
by Sir Godfrey Kneller, all of a size, three quarter length, and this
originated the designation of the "Kit Kat" for the dimensions of
canvas. There was a famous designer of Emblems named Catt whose book
was much sought after. (S. Baring-Gould, P. 95)
PIONEERING CATES IN AMERICA
There are records of Cates in both the Northern and Southern
colonies soon after the colonization began. A John Cates died in
Virginia in 1623 or earlier. These notations are to be found in Old
Virginia records: Cates, Jo. Aged 17, passenger on the Assurance De Le
for Virginia 1635; Cates, John Aged 23, passenger on the Safety for
Virginia, August 1635. These two cates passengers were probably
brothers.
Where paper records have been destroyed or are incomplete, there are
almost imperishable records in New England that name some of the early
founders of the colonies. The tombstones in Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New Hampshire, and Maine church yards:
"In memory of Mr. John Cates. He was a gentleman born in England and
the first settler in the town of Windham. By his last will and
testament he gave a generous legacy to ye First Church of Christ in
Windham, in plate, and a generous legacy in land for ye support of ye
poor, and another legacy for ye support of ye school in said town
forever". (Tombstone in Windham, Connecticut churchyard)
"Lieutenant John Cates, a pious Puritan who served in the wars of
England, holding his commission under Cromwell. When Charles II came to
the throne, he fled to this country for safety. He landed first in
Virginia, where he procured a negro servant to attend him. But when
advertisements and pursuers were spread through this country to
apprehend the dadherents to the Protector, he left Virginia, came to New
York, and thence to Norfolk. Still feeling that he would be securer in
a more retired place, he came to this plantation, dug the first cellar,
and with hes servant raise in Windham the first English habitation in
the spring of 1689. After leaving legacies to church, town and school
of Windham he willed the rest of his property to Mary Howard, unless my
child or any of my children now in England should come to New England."
[Historical address delivered at Windham, Connecticut]
(It is probable that a son of lieutenant Cates came to Connecticut as
there was a Cates family in Windham, CT in 1780.)

Cates Family
THE NORMAN PEOPLE
Normans-Northmen Derived from the Norsemen from Norway, Sweden, and
Denmark who established themselves in Northern France about the year 700
AD. They seem to have taken up the French Language and lived there
until the Norman Conquest of England in 1080 or there about when many of
them settled in Norfolk Co, England, named so in account of being folks
from the North. Apparently in about 1270, our ancesters settled there
and becames English people and as before stated our ancesters Joseph and
John sailed for Virginia in August 1635. (This was what is known as the
Cavalier imigration to Virginia.)
The Hastings apparently settled in England from Norway or
Scandinavia about 830 A.D. and they were at war with the Brittains and
Angles for sveral centuries. (See the Battle of Hastings.)
The imigrants to Virginia were from Norfolk, Suffolk, Dorset, and
Lincoln all decendents of the Normans of France and the countries of the
North. (See the Encyclopedia Britannica Vol. LVII)

Recently a significant amount of information was posted on the Cate web
about the Cates family who started the Cates Pickle Co. I read this posting
and found it very interesting. Since it was not of a direct connection with
my Cate family I deleted the info on the pickle family.
As usually happens a few day later in a conversation with a friend he said
that he had just discovered a connection between his family and the Cates
Pickle family in N.C. I told him of the recent posting and he would very
much appreciate it if this info can be reposted.This time I will print it
out.
Regards TOM CATE
I wonder if the John Kates listed as coming to VA Aug 1635 in the book
is the same John that went first to Va and settled in Windham, Conn. He
died in Windham, Conn. 16 Jul 1697 leaving legacies to church, town and
school of Windham. He willed the rest of his property to Mary Howard,
"unless my child or any of my children now in England should come to New
England". It seems by this that he left children behind when he came to
this country and sounds like he had a child living somewhere besides New
England.
Does anyone have information on this?
Thanks!

On Nov 25, 1850 John R. Allan, Census taker for Norris Township, arrived
at the farm of Sampson and Leannah Cates and their nine children,
Included among them was 15 year old Phillip. (Large articale s of
Phillip)..
Cates families were among the earliest settlers of Edgefield County and
its Saluda region. In 1818, William Cates had purchased 62 acres from
Robert Cates at remote Clouds Creek. After Williams death in 1831, his
sons, Sampson and Wiley, continued cultivating the lands he had aquired.
In 1850 Sampson was working an 80 acre farm valued at 400.00 He
obligingly supplies Allen with the crop yield of his corn,peas, oats,
and sweet potatoes for the year. In addition, Sampson had produced a
cash crop of 13 bales of cotton. Of the Cates children, William at 22
was the eldest, followed by Polly, 20: Twins Wiley and Sampson; 18,
Phillip, 15; Leannah; 12: Hirum, 9: Jincy, 6: and Sarah, 3.

PREFACE
This work has been in preparation for several years. It is not
complete, but it is given out now to arouse interest in the subject. We
trust that where the record is incomplete the proper data will be
sentus. There are some families which we have not been able to connect
with this history at any point, but which no doubt can be traced to some
connection. Mr. Sanborn contemplates a larger work and we ask all to
send him as complete a record of their family as possible. Whatever
mistakes there are - and there are mistakes - we hope that all will help
us by calling our attention to the same so that they may be corrected in
the larger work. Our thanks are due to all who have so kindly furnished
us information for this work.
Relationship is traced by numbers. For exaample, the last name,
Roland Heath Cate, is 659, 475, 200, 156, 84, 34, 11, 2, 1. These
numbers give the names of Roland Heath Cate's father, grandfather, great
grandfather, etc. There are three indes: The cate family, The Cates
family, and families marrying into the Cate and Cates family; this last
includes the maiden name of the mother. Dates in parentheses belong to
the wife or husband only.

We appreciate all who have helped us trace our Geneology, so here is a
treat for you! ENJOY!!!
Hello All,
I tried to write to Larry Giles, it was returned, so am having to contact him this way, sorry.
Larry had listed the heirs in the will of Thomas CATE. Among the children was an Isaiah.
I had asked if he had info re: Isaiah, who was the son of Thomas CATE (and Martha CATE) whose will was dated
17 Dec. 1811 Orange Co NC.
My grandfather William, was a possible son of an Isaiah, b NC.
William named a dau Martha, who m John Wilson RUMLEY.
Any information will be much appreciated.
Thank you sincerely
Marvin Rumley Curtis
Hello All
In addition was he the father of William CATES,b 1806, m c 1830 in Henderson Co, TN to Mahala (--?--)?
Thank you in advance.
Marvin Rumley Curtis
Hi Folks,
I am still searching for my elusive ancesters.
James F. CATES b SC (may have been the son of Thomas CATE VA>NC>SC, son
of Robert CATE of Eng>VA>NC), his son
Robert D. CATES b ? Shelbyville, NC (TN) area d 7 Aug 1854 Dawson's Springs,
Muhlenburg, KY, his son
Wilson G. CATES b 11 Aug 1811 Shelbyville, TN area d 6 Jan 1884 moved in
1836 to Dawson's Springs, Muhlenburg, KY m 1838 Rebecca Sharp LONG b 2 May 1813
Muhlenburg Co, KY d 7 Mar 1879 Dawson's Springs, Muhlenburg, KY
The data I have has been passed down through the years;
The first reference in writing I have found is a letter written by John
Green Cates, I (s/o Wilson G. CATES) in 1896 to a LONG cousin in TN,
giving a brief genealogy of the decendents of William M. LONG, then
proceeds to include a brief genealogy of the CATES. He lists the
decendency as Robert CATE of Eng, James F. CATES of SC, Robert D. CATES
of Shelbyville, TN, Wilson G. CATES of Muhlenburg Co, KY, John Green
CATES of Central City, Muhlenburg, KY.
The second reference to this order of decendency is a written afidavit
by Samuel J. CATES in 1882 declaring the identity of his father Wilson G.
CATES. This was included with many other afidavits when Wilson G. CATES filed
for his Civil War Service Pension.
The third reference to the decendency is in the "CATES FAMILY GENEALOGY"
which was researched and assembled by the children and grandchildren of
John Green CATES in the early 1900's.
As I continue to receive data an information about various CATES
entering America beginning in the early 1600's, there is a good
possibility that James F. CATES could have been the son of a Robert
CATES from England, and not the most referenced Robert CATE of England,
that first settled in VA, had six sons, and then moved to Surry Co, NC.
Have a nice day,
Don Stanton
Seeking info on Bluford Cates who m. Nancy Jane Bennet (dau. of Reson/Reece E.
Bennett and wife, Polly or Sally). Bluford was on 1850 Jackson Co., TN
census; 1860 Johnson Co., IL census; and 1880 Carter Co., MO census. He was a
J.P. in Carter Co., MO.
One of Bluford and Nancy's children was Mary Elizabeth Cates (b. 15 Mar 1860
in IL; m. 8 Feb 1883 Carter Co., MO to Morgan Dameron O'Dell; d. 13 Dec 1937
in Carter Co., MO).
On 1850 Jackson Co., TN census, a John Cates and wife, Ellen, lived near or
next to my Bluford.
Can anyone please help?

Vol 9 of the State papers of North Carolina are missing from the

Stephen, and Robert were evidently brothers of John CATES who was the
father of Thomas CATES, who was the father of John Sykes CATES.
Jo and John CATES landed in Virginia in August 1635.

dau: Doratha Cate, under age

Could this be the will of Thomas Hatter Cates. Wifes name matches. Would
"best friend" be his father-in-law? Does anyone have any dates on Thomas
Hatter Cates?
Thanks for the help
