Bebe- I am familiar with your William Stroud; I believe you are referring to Fannie Stroud who married Edward Howell who died ca 1796 in Sumner County, Tennessee. I have quite a few references to this Edward Howell in Orange such as 1788 Orange County, North Carolina, taxpayers list in St. Thomas District. He is also listed as in an Orange County land deed Oct 11, 1787: Edwd Howel enters 300 acres in Orange on waters of Morgins Cr; border Henry Morris. Another land deed Jan 24. 1791 Benj Howell enters 100 acres in Orange on waters of Morgans Cr; border his own land and Stephen Lloyd. And Benjamin is with Edward on the 1788 Orange County, North Carolina, taxpayers list in St. Thomas District. I am guessing they are brothers. I have been researching the Terrells as well. In the book Terrell Genealogy, author Emma Dicken cites the 1811 Orange County will of Andrew Brooks which mentions his sister Sally, the wife of Joseph Terrell but she doesn't know where this Joseph Terrell fits into the other Terrells of that area. Lots of clues and lots more work to do.... Pam

Thanks to all those who answered my request regarding Edward Cate/o/or. I looked at the entries on WorldConnect, but unfortunately, there are no sources given for the information. The Thomas Keates Cates b. Aug. 2, 1758 in Maryland is probably not connected since my Edward was in Orange as early as 1755 when he is on the tax list with 1 poll. I am looking for Cate/s/or in Virginia as well. I don't know if my Thomas Brooks is related to the people in the book Brooks and Kindred Family by Ida Kellum. I found his will on microfilm in Salt Lake. It was probated in 1810 and he was mentioned as a resident of Hillsborough. It lists: wife Elizabeth (presumably daughter of Edward CAte/e/or) son Andrew (died 1812) son William, found in the 1810 United States Federal Census > North Carolina > Orange > Hillsborough daughter Hannah Brooks and her son James (I'm not sure if Hannah Brooks was married or perhaps she married a Brooks and kept the same surname.) daughter Susannah Jackson; married Thomas Jackson in Orange 22 Dec 1787 daughter Betsy HOWELL is Elizabeth Howell who married Benjamin Howell and moved to Grainger County Tennessee. daughter Sally Tyrrell married Joseph Terrell 6 May 1789 I know there is another Thomas Brooks about the same age who died in Chatham County in 1812; in Ida Kellum's book, she say this Thomas married Martha Temple. I haven't found any connection, but I plan to study land deeds and see if these Brooks families lived near each other. Pam >There are several entries on WorldConnect on Edward Cato who had a daughter >Elizabeth who married Thomas Brooks. He was born c. 1707-1710 according to >these entries. >

>From "The Steel Bonnets", p.5: "...he was also a gangster organised on highly proffesional line, who had perfected the protection racket three centuries before Chicago was built." If that is not the very definition of mafia, then I don't know what is.

There was a Thomas Keates Cates b. Aug. 2, 1758 in Maryland, to Thomas Cates and Modesty Harrison both from Scotland to Maryland. The son Thomas Keates Cates went down to Orange Co., N.C. and on Feb. 3, 1784 married Martha 'Patty' Trice b. Jul 6, 1761 in Orange Co., N.C. They were in Washington Co., Georgia by 1800, where they had a daughter named Nancy Cates. Thomas Keates Cates and 'Pattty' went to Tuscaloosa Co., Alabama where he died on Feb. 1, 1848. She married Wiley Espey on JUl 24, 1830 in Tuscaloosa Co., Alabama. This is all I have in my files of the Cates Family. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pam" <pambrett@pacbell.net> To: <ncorange@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 9:43 AM Subject: [NCORANGE] Cate/Cates/Cator Family > My ancestor Elizabeth Brooks (ca 1755- ca 1835) daughter of Thomas > Brooks (died Orange 1810) and his wife Elizabeth, stated in a deed > that her grandfather was Edward Cato or Calow; the last name is > difficult to decipher. > > I have found many Cate/s in early Orange but no Catos or Calows.

Yes, I have a copy, but it is not indexed, and it has been a few years since I read it. There may be a mention of the Russell family in it, but I don't remember one, and I wouldn't have noticed, necessarily. The book centers on the Long family, of course, but it also talks about the Webb and Holt families of Hillsborough, and some other families like Norwood and Huske. It also has pictures of Delphina Mendenhall and General Rufus Barringer, as those were connections by marriage. I have three copies of the book, one of which belonged to my father-in-law, and the other two I bought on Abebooks, since I wanted to give each of my children a copy. There are 14 copies listed on Abebooks right now, some for less than $10. Katherine ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

The James Webb I am thinking about married Annie Alves Huske in 1807 in Orange County. I don't have the parents for him, or any siblings. My interest in him stems from the fact that two of his children married into the Long family of the Liberty community in the corresponding corners of NE Randolph and SW Orange counties. Frances Helen Webb married Osmond Fitz Long, and Mary Webb married William John Long. Osmond and William were brothers and sons of John Wesley Long and Sabra Shepherd Ramsay. My husband descends from John Wesley Long, II. These people are mentioned in an old book written by Mary Alves Long, dau ghter of William John Long, and illustrated with some family portraits. The book is "High Time To Tell It." Katherine Benbow ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Thanks, Katherine. It does not sound like it contains any Russell information, but I may try to track it down in a library.

There may be a mention of the Russell family in it, but I don't remember one, and I wouldn't have noticed, necessarily. The book centers on the Long family, of course, but it also talks about the Webb and Holt families of Hillsborough, and some other families like Norwood and Huske. It also has pictures of Delphina Mendenhall and General Rufus Barringer, as those were connections by marriage. I have three copies of the book, one of which belonged to my father-in-law, and the other two I bought on Abebooks, since I wanted to give each of my children a copy. There are 14 copies listed on Abebooks right now, some for less than $10.

Would your Elizabeth Webb be a sister to James Webb (1774-1855)? Katherine Benbow ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Besides Elizabeth and her siblings, I have no Webb names other than their father, Johnson, and I have no information about Elizabeth's siblings. Sorry I cannot help you on that. Do you have a copy of the book you mention? Does it say anything about the Webbs that connects them to the Russells?

She did have a brother named James who was born before 1780. Other siblings were Robert and John, both born before 1790. Their parents were Johnson Webb and Gracy McCarver. Elizabeth died in 1850 and is buried near several of her children at Center Methodist Church which sits on the border of Chatham and Alamance Counties. Those counties were once part of Orange. Elizabeth and John were founding members of the church.

I am looking for a record of the first wife of John Russell who married Elizabeth Webb in Orange County on 12 Sep 1804. John had a daughter, Rebecca, born in 1802, and a son, James, born in 1804, so I am fairly certain he was married before, but can find no trace of that earlier marriage. Thanks for any help. Suzanne Russell

Thanks Linda. Reminds me to tell some Stroud descendants from Orange that there was no Snotterly family into which your Stroud ancestor married, thank goodness, but there was a Phillip/Philip Snotherly who seems to gave settled in the German area of Orange.
