Jere,
I apologize for my tardiness in replying. I haven't spent as much time
at the computer as I ordinarily do for the past few weeks. I had a fall and
fractured my wrist, I'm in a full arm cast and I've been reduced to a
one-finger-hunt-and-peck method of typing! :-(
There are lots of John Cates in the marriage book, but none who
married Margaret Sever (or any spelling variation); and, also, the dates
are too late. There is a John Cates in the Land Deeds book, who
purchased 19 acres "at a hickory adjoining Thomas Cates;" entry date
3/17/1788; issue date 11/17/1790. There were no Severs in the book.
Nancy
