Hi Becky,
I am almost positive now that your Charles is the son of William Cate
Jr. & Elizabeth "Betsy" Mount.
The Charles C. Mount - Lt. died in the Civil War is the son of Sarah
Cate & John Mount. Sarah is the sister of William Jr.
The children of William Jr. are:
Alfred Wright Cate b. 1824
Thomas Cate b. 1825
Peter Cate b. 1827
Mary Cate b. 1828
John Cate b. 1830
Robert Ervin Cate b. 25 Nov 1831
William Cate b. 1834
Charles Cate b. 1836
Jacob Cate b. 1837
Ann Cate b. 1838/39
These birthdates are from "Bryans, Hortons & allied Families, 1987 by
Elizabeth Cate Manly.
She has Charles married Elizabeth Overby in 1865 but that is all she has
& possibly just from East TN Marriages.
Robert Calvin Mount s/o Sarah Cate & John Mount also went to Texas in
1849.
William Sr. father of William Jr. had a mill in Jefferson Co. before he
moved to McMinn Co., however, he sold his property in McMinn to his son
William Jr. so he might have had a mill in McMinn also.
I can send you some pages from Bryan, Horton etc. if you send me your
snail mail address.
Roberta
