I'm trying to find the ancestors of John D. Cato. According to the 1900 census, he
was born in SC, married Laura Etta/ Lauretta there, and had his first four children there.
Those kids were Susannah, Henry, James ANDREW, and Huldy. Then, apparently between 1885
and 1892, the family moved to Alabama, as their youngest child, John LUCAS, was born in
Alabama. They settled in Crenshaw County, which is where John and Laura died; they're
buried in Honoraville. Laura was born in December of 1849. Do you recognize this family?
The census stated that both John and Laura, as well as their parents, were born in SC.
Please help!
