Part of Ruth Cate's note: "I wonder who the Nancy CATE who was finally
excluded for drinking too much was on 7 June 1826. They were more lenient
with her than they were with most members. My William & Mary E. CATE had a
Nancy but this Nancy was not she; she married Thomas BRYAN.
4 Nov 1836-Rebecca ELDER granted letter I haven't seen a record of her coming
back after William ELDER and she were granted letters after he was excluded
for not complying with the church request to build a $3.00 fence. He was
excluded for "fighting, swaring and I gather in our translation threw boards
with disagreement with John CATE (& wife Elizabeth)aebp in the minutes.
Rebecca (CATES) ELDER did return to Dumplin.aebp
2 May 1827 Charles ELDER by experience (son of William & Rebecca (CATES)
ELDER.aebp
29 Sept 1827 and 7 June 1828 Susannah CATE joined. I wonder if she was
Susannah UNDERWOOD wife of Elijah CATE. They married 1826.
7 June 1828 Simon FRENCH' Catherine (French) MANARD & Ruthey FRENCH joined by
experience, children of Wm & Basna FRENCH. Levi MANARD married Catherine 1825
2 Sept 1828 Susan CATE joined she was probably the wife of Elijah CATE of John
Sr.)
April 1829 Elizabeth ELDER came by experience Delilah MANARD came by
recantation (could this be the Lily who was excluded with John CATE & wife I
don't remember Delilah leaving the church when they joined by recantation they
had usually left by their own choice.rc
