Does anyone know the identity of the following family enumerated on the 1880
Denton County Census?????
Mary Kates, w/f, 34, MO
Susan, w/f, 12, AR
Louisa, w/f, 11, AR
Ida, w/f, 6, TX
Charles, w/m, 3, TX
Ida Dorcas Cornelius Cates is my great gradmother. THere was a story that
her mother was divorced, caused shame, was never talked about.
The following Cates have deed transactions in Denton: Solomon Cates,
William Cates, A.B. Cates. There is a deed for a William and Mary Cates,
but they are on the 1880 census together with children.
I found the following family on the 1870 Arkansas Clark Co cenus. Is it
possible that it is the family I am looking for?
Cates, W., 33, works mill AR
Jane 23, MO (Possibly Mary Jane?)
Susan 3, ARK
Louise 2, AR
Nancy 9, AR
Daniels, John 10, AL. This Nancy and John were of an age to be on their own
by the 1880 census.?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been bouncing off a brick wall
for 15 years. nelda(a)northlink.com
