Hi, my mother's father was John Galveston Cato, son of Lewis Manuel Cato, father Lewis
Cato. That is as far as I can trace my Cato history. I know that they came from Alabama.
My mother is 87 years old now and her memory is getting worse as she has Alzheimers. When
I first started researching my family tree she told me that she had a cousin that came to
visit from Mo. and his name was Jesse and that he had twin girls whose names were Lessie
and Jessie. She thinks that was all of their names, all she remembers is that they came to
visit and one of the girls gave my mom a hair bow. Mama grew up really poor and this small
gift left a lasting impression on her. I would love to know if in your research you have
found any twins with names close to that. I have the family tree up to the Lewis L. Cato
who married Elizabeth Ford. The only trouble I have run into is that my Lewis and another
Lewis has the same birthdate and the other Lewis was married to someone else. Lewis and
Elizab!
eth had 11 children. Mama said they were always told 3 bros came from South Carolina and
setteled in Ala. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gini
