I am looking for a Mrs. C E CATES (Mary Joe SHANNON CATES) who moved from
the Newnan Coweta GA area to Chattanooga TN in the early 1900-40's/50's. I
don't know what C E stands for.
Mary Joe was the dgt of Joseph A. SHANNON of Coweta Co and Donie C. JONES
(Caldonia) of Troup Co GA.
Her siblings were:
Earnest/Ernest Jones SHANNON b. Feb 1880 Coweta GA m. Florence M.
Elizabeth Emily SHANNON b Aug 1881 Coweta GA m. Charles W. ATCHISON
George Thompson SHANNON b. Feb 1884 Coweta GA
Fannie G. SHANNON b. July 1886 Coweta GA m. W H (Homer) SEWELL
Mary Joe b Dec 1888 AL m. C E CATES
Ola W. b Oct 1890 AL b Oct 1890 AL m. W M RENEGER
Thomas ?B. b Mar 1895 GA
This family is listed in the 1860 Coweta Co GA census living with Batty
Harwell MITCHELL, Joseph A SHANNON'S grandparents.
My husband desc. from Elizabeth Emily SHANNON ATCHISON.
I found a list in Elizabeth's (Emmie) ATCHISON'S bible with her siblings
and spouses listed which is what is above. Would like to locate the desc.
of each of them. Also an old address book with two addresses for the CATES
in Chattanooga:
2411 Chamberlin Ave. Chattanooga TN 22890
4912 Gulfview Dr Chattanooga TN.
I have some of their family history/ancestors to share.'
Please, if anyone knows of this CATES family of Chattanooga, Please help me
contact them or tell them to contact me by email.
