Subject: [CATE-L] Alexander CATES, Mary PARKES (PARKER)
I'm looking for the parents of Alexander CATES or his wife Mary
(Polly)
PARKES (PARKER), they were married in Madison Co. KY January 15, 1835, and
lived in Madison, Estill and Rockcastle Co.'s of KY their entire life.
Mary's parents are possibly (no documentation) Richard PARKES and Nancy
KINDRED. Her 1850 and 1860 census gives her birthplace as KY, her 1870 (as
a
widow and living with her son John and spelling her name KATES) lists
VA
as
her birthplace.
Alexander's parents are possibly Richard CATES and Margaret SIVER (no
documentation). Various sources on the Internet list he was killed in the
battle of Richmond, VA, this is wrong, we think it was the battle of
Richmond, KY. All of Alex's census records say he was born in KY
(1850,1860). Various Internet record and others lists his father as John
CATES, but I've found no proof of this either.
Any help with either Alexander or Mary would be greatly appreciated
