My interest is in the Cate/Cates who settled in Maury County TN. Jane
O'Daniel Cate and several of her children lived in the area before 1850:
Ezra (perhaps), William, and Susannah who m. Sandy Duke.
Goodwin Cate (married to Peter Lamb in NC) also lived in Maury 1824-1842.
Goodwin was born 1802, the same year as Jane's daughter Elizabeth. No one, to
my knowledge, has discovered what happened to dau Elizabeth. Our Goodwin Cate
Lamb named some of her children names similar to Jane O'Daniel Cate's family:
Ellen (Nelly), Martha Ezrabella, making me suspect there may have been a
relationship between Goodwin and Jane. Could Goodwin possibly have been Goodwin
Elizabeth????
Is there a researcher working on Isaiah Cate (d.1806 Newberry SC) and wife
Jane O'Daniel? I would welcome the opportunity to correspond with anyone
working on this line of Cates or anyone working on Cates living in Maury County
before 1850. I've posted this query previously but found no one out there
with the same interests.
