Good morning folks. Another statement caught me by surprise yesterday while
I was reading some old postings. Unfortunately I lost the address of the
researcher who posted the information.
It concerns the marriages and descendants of Gideon Cate. He married twice,
first to Elizabeth Stephenson, Dec. 1820 in Jefferson Co., TN. He married
again in McMinn Co., TN. 1 Feb. 1871. Her given name is Mary, but I am now
doubtful of her maiden name. I'm not close to a research facility, so ask
you folks if you may have information about Mary. I know that she married
James Elder in McMinn Co., TN. 14 Apr 1864. A note I have mentions that she
may have married James Mitchell White before 1860 and that they had two
children.
So, was she really married three times and what is her maiden name? Are
these the children Gideon agreed to care for in his marriage contract to
Mary? What are the children's names?
Thanks for you help, and take care.
David
