There was a posting a few months ago about a Cates family that had Wiley and
Sampson Cates in it. They were Southerners. I showed it to my mother and
she
said that it was our line. Her grandfather was William or Billy Cates born
in Alabama as the family was moving from the Edgefield District of North or
South Carolina (not sure which state it is in) on to East Texas (Mt. Vernon
area). Do any list members remember about this family. I think the woman
was in
Ohio maybe.
Thanks.
Sincerely,

Hi Liz et al,
The woman lives in Baltimore! It was me and I'd love to hear more about your
line!
Was your ancestor William Richard Cates son of Philip?
I used to have a pretty extensive database on this family but since my last
computer crash--well, I don't anymore... Trying to rebuild it and would
welcome any information on this line. My own line is from Sampson b. ca 1803 to
Wiley b. 1832 to Sally Jane b. 1858... They were from Edgefield Dist, SC, as you
say, and went thru AL and on to Texas. Happy to share with you what I
have--hope you'll write again with more info?
