O.K. guys, so you want mail?
I am still searching for these CATES ancestors. I have added a couple of
names and I am looking for some documentation to substantiate the
information that I have posted. Yesterday, I resorted to calling living
CATES in the Jackson, TN area and none of them seem to be related.
My grandfather, James Herschel CATES was born 2/16/1918 in Columbia, TN;
His parents were: Bishop H. CATES b. abt 1899; died 9/24/1926, age 27;
married Ola Mae HIMES b. ? ; died abt 1933, she may have remarried a
Harry Casey who died in a fire in the 40's. They had 2 sons: James, and
Ernest
Bishop's parents were: James CATES b. 1833 , died 1930; married Mattie
Dycus (Dykus)
Ola Mae HIMES parents were: Samuel HIMES b. 1871, died 1954; married
Izora DUGGER b. 1872-74, died 1946.
Now the QUESTION!! Does anyone recognize any of these names? Does anyone
have access to Census records? If you do, can you search for these names in
Jackson, Madison County or Columbia, Maury County? Any and all
suggestions or assistance GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Angie
