It's me, just messing around again : )
I've been going through a very large stack of e-mail, some of which is a year
or more old, and I've come up with a few questions. Please keep in mind that
this data was provided "by others." I'm sure they proved their research, so
I'm assuming this information is correct.
Elisha Cate (son of John Cate, born about 1757 who married Sylvia Sykes) and
Huldah Cate (daughter of Rev. Thomas Cate, born about 1733 who married Sarah
Estridge) were married July 3, 1799. They had four children, that I/we are
aware of:
Alfred
James
Ephraim
John
Now, there are several of us that are looking for parents of our ancestors
(including myself, but I don't see Joseph listed here) and the dates of birth
for these folks do fall after this particular marriage:
John Cates, born 1807 in NC
James F. Cates, born 1806 in NC
Ephraim Cate, born after 1799
Since we have no information on Elisha & Huldah's kids, could these be
possible links to these parents?
Also, according to Brian Bivona,
Delilah Cate is the daughter of Charles Cate, Sr (born about 1739, NC, died
aft. January 12, 1811, Jefferson Co, TN) and Sarah BALDWIN. Delilah married
Gibson MANARD.
J.W. Foster said he/she is of the John SR.>James>BALDWIN>Mary Cate line. What
is the birthdate of John Sr, etc? I notice you're the President of the Trust
Fund for James BALDWIN Cate Cemetery, where Baldwin's grandfather, John Sr,
is buried.
TWThomason(a)aol.com says he/she is a descendant of Patsy Cates, daughter of
Isaac Cate and Susannah MANARD.
He/she was asking about the relation of Susannah to "the other Manard" lady.
No first name of the other Manard lady was given.
These names above just seemed to jump out at me, probably for no good reason,
but thought I'd share my frazzled brain a bit.
