I have a file in my family tree maker software for Cates research. I use it
to try to connect the different Cate/Cates lines, and for no other purpose.
Just to make my life a little easier, I don't use the "s" in this file when
entering Cate/Cates information. Makes searches faster. Although my line does
use the "s."
That being said, I did find a Gibson Manard marrying Delilah Cate(s). She was
the daughter of Charles Cate(s) Sr & Sarah Baldwin. Do you think this Gibson
Manard was a brother of Susannah? You mention another Manard lady, but you
didn't give a name of this other Manard lady.
