Hi Shirley. I'm Dale Cates of Conroe, Texas. Fairly new at geneology [and
computers too]. I have a Green Berry in my line too, but mine was born in
1844 in Clayton County, Georgia. My line starts with William A. Cates, b.
1798 in N.C. He was my ggggrandfather. One of his 10 children was my gg
Romulus Sanders Cates, b. 1819 in N.C. One of his 12 children was Green
Berry Cates, my ggrandfather, b. 6 Dec. 1844. He fought in the Civil War in
the Second Georgia Cavalry, and was wounded in a battle in Tenn. He had 8
children including twin boys, one of which was my Grandfather Robert Emmett
Cates, who traveled fron Atlanta to north Louisiana, and married my
Grandmother when she was 13. They must've grown up fast back then. My Dad
was born there, and later went to work for Hunt Oil Co. who transferred him
and us to the Conroe area in 1955. Our lines may connect somewhere back up
the road. Like to hear from you, and swap stories about your early family.
Evidently my Cates passed thru Tenn. on the way to Atlanta from N.C., having
a son, Issac A. , born there in 1823. Best wishes Dale Cates 7251
