Hello:
I have in my files, SIMON NERO GIDEON CATE
b. 1860 AL. He was a brother to my ggrandmother
MIRIAM LOUCINDA CATE(S) CRABTREE b. 1848 GA
d. >1900 AL, marr GEORGE CRABTREE b. 1850 AL.
Their parents were SAMUEL CATE(S)b. 1805 TN,
d. >1870 AL and MARY (POLLY) JINKINS? b. 1813
NC, d. <1870 Jackson Co, AL. Mary was Samuel's
second wife. His first wife was MAHALA HORN.
They both first appear in the Knox Co, TN area.
MAHALA HORN supposedly had a brother RYLEY HORN.
If these sound like they are of your CATE(S)
line I can supply more info.
Thanks,
Gail Crabtree Dunn
