I believe that my husband may descend from this line. His great grandfather was John
Smith Cater, the son of William Cater of Wood Co. TX. I believe that William Cater is the
same William Cater found in Jefferson Co. MS in 1850 with wife named Adeline. William
next shows up in Wood Co. TX in 1860 as a widower, but the 1860 Texas Mortality schedule
shows that an Emeline Cater died in Oct 1859 in Wood Co. The 1860 Wood Co. TX census
shows that an elderly lady, Nancy Cater age 83 b. SC is living in the household of William
Cater.
This William Cater then marries Safrona Johnston.
Does any of this fit with your information? I have tried for several years to find out
who William's parents were.
