I looked in my paper files and found this on info on

My ggmother was Miriam Loucinda Cate(s) b1848 GA d 1900 AL. Married
George Crabtreee. Her parents were Samuel Cate(s) bc 1805 Tn and Mary
(Polly) Jenkins. She was Samuel's 2nd wife.
Samuel Cates 1st wife was Mahala Horn. They both first appear in the Knox
Co TN area. Mahala supposedly had a brother named Riley Horn.
children of Samuel Cates and Mahala Horn were:
Thomas b 1835 Tn, Felix Grundy b 1838 TN,
Mary K. b 1840 TN, Mahala Clementine b 1843 TN, Phebe F. and James M.
(twins) b 1843.
children of Samuel Cates and Mary Jinkins were:
Miriam Loucinda b 1848 GA Martin or Marshall b 1849 TN William R.
b 1853 GA
Roy M. b 1858 AL Simon Nero Gideon b 1860 AL.
I suggest that anyone that wants to pursue this line should check out the
archives for the CATES-L list on
