Hi Folks,
It has been a while since I put my line on the listserve. I have added
many names. I would never believed that my family changed spellings,
but look at the CATES and KATES. It seems the name change happened when
the family moved from Orange Co. NC, settled in Guilford Co. NC and
there had different spellings. My small branch (Cates-Pinnix) and some
of the brothers then moved onto Forsyth Co. NC. Still looking for
parents of Solomon Ruffin Cates who moved to Forsyth Co. NC
ca.1895-1910. Still looking for Solomon and wife Elizabeth (Hinshaw)
burial sites. Any additions and changes welcome. Have more information
if you are interested.
