Anne, I have information on the LeCates family. She was living with John W Lecates in 1880 as a step daughter. It appears that Rosa's mother is Mary A. who was married to Minos Gordy per the 1870 Census. Minos must have died and she married John W Lecates on 2/5/1875. Before the 1880 Census she is either dead or gone.

Gordy with any LeCates/LeCatts--both parents died when she was young (b. 1869), and I believe she was living with a LeCate before she married my Great Grandfather, George Alfred Waller. Rosa died giving birth to my fathers' father (George R. Waller).
