Hi Milt & Nelda,
I have a bit on Solomon Cate & his wife Durmont McCarroll.
The data I have is from a Wise Co. TX History, article on Cate-
Crowley by Catherine Troxell Gonzalez, which says
"Robert Cate a native of NC, Isabella Carter Cate, was born in
Franklin Co. Indiana, where she married Robert Cate 19 mar 1818 in
franklin county. they moved soon after to White co. TN where James
Cate was born 29 Aug 1818...In 1895 only two of robert Cates' sons
were living, james Cate and a brother who lived in Denton Co., TX. It
seems that there were at least three brothers; James, Solomon, and
Thomas Cate."
"Solomon Cate, brother of James Cate, settled in the Dove Community
and reared a large family in that neighborhood. he and his
descendants are blonde. He married Durmont McCarroll". (Taken from
Grapevine recollections by Estill)
I can mail you the articles if you don't have them.
