Notes:
  • From an online article from "The Citizen" by Judy Fowler Kilgore:

    Robert Cates married Elizabeth Unknown, with whom he had six children: Thomas Cates, b. abt 1730, d. abt 1817, Newberry Dist., S.C.; John Cates; Richard Cates, b. abt 1732; Sarah Cates, b. abt 1734; Joseph Cates b. abt 1736 in Orange Co., N.C., d. aft 24 Dec 1793, Orange Co., N.C.; and Barnard Cates, who died after 1826 in Orange Co., N.C.

    Robert's will was dated 5 Nov. 1765 in Orange County, and lists his wife, children and one granddaughter. The will was probated in the March term of court, 1767. His sons, Thomas and Joseph were executors.

    Thomas Cate, first son of Robert and Elizabeth Cates of Orange County, was sometimes referred to as "Road Tom," because of his job as a surveyor. He was first married about 1757 in North Carolina to Elizabeth Fussell, daughter of Aaron and Elizabeth Fussell, with whom he had eight children. He married a second time, sometime after 1806, to Yourath (Urith McMillian, daughter of Alexander McMillian. Thomas died in Newberry Dist., S.C. abt 1817.
