I have a Gideon Cate in my files, but I am confused as to who his parents
were. Was he a son of John Cate, Jr., or who. I think I have down he was
the son of Rebecca Cate who married John Cate, but then who were her
parents, as she wasn't old enough to be a daughter of John Cate, Sr and a
mother when Gideon was born. I'm confused. Help.
