I've already heard from two of you on the List about my postings on Charles
Cates family. Perhaps at this point I had better put a disclaimer on the
children of Charles Cates! Can any of you support the children I named? I
cannot prove that they were Charles' children, but there is a lot of reasons
to believe they are correct. Does anyone have any wills, deeds, etc., to
help me out?
I've been questioned also about the Robert D. Cates of Weakley County being
the R.D. Cates of Bedford County. They fit in the pattern, but can I prove
it? No. Is there another descendant of Robert D. Cates out there? Anyone
out there with Tax Lists for Bedford County and Weakley County TN? I've been
to the TN Archives and could not find a tax list for either, but it could
have been there. Anybody live in Nashville who could do a checkup for me?
So, if you can help me prove/disprove this family, it would be great. I've
been working on Robert D. Cates for years.
