Hello fellow Cate / Cates researchers,
I have been wandering in the Cate-L archives and am thoroughly LOST. I have
a Cate & Cates line that I am trying to figure out. There are a few of you
out there that I think are researching the same lines as I am.

****************************************************
As you can see John Cates married Piety Cate. I have been told (not proven)
that Piety is the Daughter of Thomas Cate and that Thomas is the son of
Richard Cate & Emilia Smith/Brewer.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
