Does anyone know who the following Eleanor Cates was?:
1850 Gwinnett County, GA. Cates District
422-422 - CATES, Eleanor 75 female white widow and farmer b. NC
CATES, Mary 30 b. GA
Other Cates living around her were:
#420 - CATES, Julian 27 female b. GA and family
#423 - CATES, James 43 b. NC wife Mary b. GA and family all b. GA
#424 - CATES, Robert 64 b. NC
Elizabeth 27 b. NC and Daniel 16 b. NC
I can find the following marriages in NC:
Orange County NC:
05 Nov 1819 Ezra Cate to Eleanor Thompson; Samuel Crawford, Bondsman; Joseph
A. Woods, Witness.
02 Jul 1849 - Barnerd Cates to Elenor Carrel; Thomas Cates, Bondsman; J.
Allison, Witness. I believe this couple was in the 1850 Orange County NC
Census.
Person County, NC:
27 Dec 1797 - Robert Cate - Elinar Cate; John Cate, Bondsman; Jesse Dickins,
Witness
My primary interest is in Ezra Cates, particularly if he is the one who went
to Maury County, TN. Was he the one who married Eleanor Thompson? Did she
die and did he remarry Sarah Higgs? I've seen this somewhere online but seek
proof about it. Also need to know if Ezra and Eleanor had children. While
working on this I discovered the Eleanor Cates in Gwinnett County GA.
Because she was b.ca 1775 she probably had no connection with Ezra Cates.
