Hi All,
Just thought I would jump in with our 2 bits
worth. Margie descends from Isaac's brother,
Aaron. We don't have much on Manard line.
According to a Cate lady in Roane Co. TN,
"Around here, if you are known as Cate, you
are a Democrat. If it is Cates, Republican".

Hi; I am a descendant of Patsy Cates, as her husband
spelled it.
She couldn't
rear or write. She was the daughter of Isaac Cate and
Susannah
Manard. She
married a William Thomason (Thomison, Thomasson, Thomson)
and
they lived in
Washington Co., AR. They lived near Susannah and several of
her
brothers. All
the spelling of Thomason are ones that he wrote. The
relationship was
confirmed by court records.
The part of Washington Co. that they lived in became Benton
Co., AR. During
the Civil War they moved to Ft. Scott, KS, where they died.
This is the continuation of one line of Jefferson Co., TN
Cate families. I
have never figured out who the other Manard lady was. Is
she any
relation to
Susannah? Does anyone know of the Nationality of the Cate
name.
I have been
told that the Manard family were French Protestants or
Huguenots.
