I thought someone might recognize this information and be related. I have
tried this list before without success. But I have found more information
that may help...
I am searching for my great great grandfather Samuel CATES/KATES (name found
spelled both ways in census') born in TN.
I know he was born about 1807-1813. He married someone named Sarah born about
1813 TN.
He moved to MO. and I find him in the Joplin Co. Census in 1870.
His son John is listed there as well, born 1851 MO.
Samuel is later found in the 1880 census of Calaveras Co., CA. with his wife
Sarah.
Their son John moved west and I guess they followed.
It lists his father as being born in NC.
I would really love to find Samuel's parents names and more about where they
are all from and where Samuel was born and lived and probably met Sarah his
wife. I would like to know more about her as well.
Thanks, please email me at hairfornow(a)aol.com if you have any information.
I would be thrilled to have help on this.
