I just now posted the following text concerning the Madison Cate Cemetery to
my Web site at
http://www2.pstcc.cc.tn.us/~jbryan I think I have identified
everybody at the cemetery. The only loose end is whether Carrie R. Bull and
Paralee Bull were sisters. I thought I had posted the question about the
Bull "sisters" to the list already, but I don't see it in the list archives.
Carrie Bull married William Perry Cate and Paralee Bull married Pryor
Cate. William Perry Cate and Pryor Cate were brothers. Does anybody know
if the Bulls were sisters?
Madison Cate Cemetery, Sevier County, Tennessee
BRYAN
Inf. 23 Mar 1890 7 Jun 1890 s/o W.S. & Maggie
The infant was a son of William Spenser Bryan and Margaret Malinda (Maggie)
Cate. Their first two children were Gertrude b. 1 Jun 1885 and Nellie b. 20
May 1887. The infant was a third child. William Spenser Bryan was the son
of Robert Reedy Bryan and Rebecca Langford. Maggie Cate was the daughter of
Madison Cate and Martha Underwood. So the Bryan infant was a grandson of
Madison Cate.

Little Roger No dates s/o Pryor & Paralee;
Age 2
Carrie R. Bull was the wife of William Perry Cate. I suspect she was
Caroline Rosamond Bull, daughter of Elijah Bull and Mary Adaline Read
Thompson, but I cannot prove it. William Perry Cate's brother Pryor Cate
married Paralee Adra Bull who was indeed the daughter of Elijah Bull and
Mary Adaline Read Thompson.
Maggie F. was a daughter of William Perry Cate and Carrie R. Bull. She was
not listed in Our East Tennessee Kinsmen, and therefore most researchers do
not seem to have Maggie listed as a daughter.
Madison Cate was the son of Joshua Cate and Elizabeth (Betsy) Wilhite.
Also, Madison was the father of William Perry Cate who married Carrie R.
Bull.
Madison's wife Martha Underwood Cate was the daughter of George Underwood
and Elizabeth Kymes.
Roger Cate was the son of Pryor Cate and Paralee Adra Bull, and the grandson
of Madison Cate. One would suspect that Paralee Adra Bull and Carrie R.
Bull were sisters, but I do not have proof at this point.
UNDERWOOD
Grover Cleveland 10 Jul 1892 9 Aug 1912
Perry G. 8 Aug 1885 28 Jun 1902
They were grandchildren of Madison Cate and Martha Underwood. Their parents
were Mary Ann Cate and Harvey W. S. Underwood. Perry G. seems to be a
slight error in transcription because I have his name as Perry Cate
Underwood. His stone probably says (or maybe should say!) Perry C.
Underwood.
CALDWELL
Inf. Born & Died 14 Jul 1893 s/o J.M. & A.E.
This one is a bit of a puzzle. The infant appears to be the son of J.M.
Caldwell and Adra Ellen Cate. Adra was in turn the daughter of Madison Cate
and Martha Underwood. This makes sense for the Madison Cate Cemetery. Only
trouble is that I have Adra Ellen Cate marrying Dr. Turner A. Caldwell
rather than Dr. J.M. Caldwell. Burl Underwood has Adra Ellen Cate marrying
J.M. Caldwell. In either case, Adra Ellen Cate and Mr. Caldwell had a son
named Turner Caldwell born about 1892 who also became a doctor. It makes me
think that the elder Caldwell really was Dr. J.M. Caldwell and that the
younger Caldwell was Dr. Turner A. Caldwell and that father and son have
become confused. In any case, based on the cemetery evidence I have chosen
to list Adra Ellen Cate's husband as Dr. J. M. Cate, and I therefore believe
the Caldwell infant was a grandson of Madison Cate.
CAMPBELL
Evaline 2 Jun 1851 7 May 1922
J. A. 13 Apr 1849 9 Dec 1925
This is Evaline Cate, daughter of Madison Cate and Martha Underwood, and her
husband James A. Campbell.
FERGUSON
Ada 8 Dec 1890 27 Oct 1895
I am guessing this might be a daughter of Bruce Ferguson and Nancy Lenore
(Nannie) Cate (daughter of Madison Cate and Martha Underwood). Hence, Ada
Ferguson would have been a granddaughter of Madison Cate. However, I don't
have Ada listed as a daughter of Bruce and Nannie, and Bruce and Nannie were
married 13 Mar 1891, three months after Ada was born. But given that this
is the Madison Cate Cemetery, that's the only thing that makes sense to me.
FERGUESON
Carnie 16 May 1892 8 Sep 1896
I don't have a clue on this one. But if we ignore the curious spelling of
the surname and assume it should be Ferguson, this also might be a child of
Bruce Ferguson and Nannie Cate. I have a Mary Ferguson daughter of Bruce
and Nannie b. about 1892. I wonder if Mary and Carnie were the same person.
MOUNT
Maud Campbell 1 Jun 1885 1 Jun 1913 w/o J.E.
This is Maud Campbell, daughter of James A. Campbell and Evaline Cate, and a
granddaughter of Madison Cate and Martha Underwoood. Burl Underwood says
Maud Campbell m. James Mount 6 Jan 1911 res. Nebraska. Also, Burl Underwood
says there was one child James Mount, Jr.
and that Maud died giving birth. Burl Underwood doesn't give a date of
birth for James E. Mount, Jr., but based on the death date for his mother I
am listing his birth date as 1 Jun 1913. I don't know if James Mount
resided in Nebraska before or after his wife died, so I don't know if she
died in Tennessee or Nebraska. I would guess she died in Tennessee and that
James Mount moved to Nebraska afterwards.
