5-15-2000, received a call from L Winifred Jacob, of Beverton, Or 97005,
5200 S W Colony Ct. about our mutual Cate Line.... says that the father of
John Cate SR. is Robert Cate Jr. son of Robert the Shoemaker Cate of Coin
Creek Caswell, CO NC. had two sons, Charles Cate whom married Sarah Baldwin
and John Cate Sr, moved to TN for greater religious Freedom.. There was a
Colony of CATES in NC maybe Huegnots or Quakers, Believe wife or mother of
Robert was Elizabeth.
She would like information on John Cate Jr's son Thomas who married Avy
Whilite... believe three brother married, some believe sisters, Winifred,
believes they were cousins... and the grandchildren of Conrad Whilhit.
would appreciate any information. Winifred is 81 and legally blind so can
not see computer monitor.. but types and would love to have computer access.
She was a Curriculum specialist for Portland, OR schools. Has been blind for
about 9 years.
Can any one comment on the first paragraph?
Can any one help me with the Whilhit genealogy that would match this lady's
Cate/Whilhit connect? My husband has been through two heart surgeries.,...
and I just have neglected her. I would really appreciate being able to
help her.
