Hi to all! I am looking for info. on a William R. CATO Jr. (born~1852 in GA) and his wife Mary Frances (Ward) Cato (born 1855 in SC). William and his family left GA sometime after the birth of his last child (Edgar) in 1894. His mother's obit. (GA) in Dec. of 1898 stated that William "went West." (I am therefore assuming that he is still alive then in 1898.) On the 1900 Collin Co., TX census, his son (John H., age 24) is shown, widowed and head of family. Mary F., widowed, is listed with son John H., along with sisters Bessie, Pearl, Lula, and youngest brother Edgar. I believe that they are in the Wylie area. It would appear that Wm. R. Cato Jr. died in 1899 or early 1900 and possibly in Collin Co. (He would have only been around 46-48 yrs. old) His oldest son, James J., was married in Collin Co. in 1896 - so, again, I am assuming that everyone is in Collin Co. by this time. Oldest daughter, India, is also married (to Charles Skelton) and living in Collin Co. (There were two other children of William and Mary's - Robert B. and Herbert - but I don't know if they are in Collin Co. or even alive at this time.) On the 1910 census, Mary F. is shown again in Wylie, Collin Co., (on Railroad St) with son Edgar, age 16. If anyone has any info. on any of these, I would be forever grateful! I'm really interested in finding out if William R. Cato Jr. was buried in Collin Co. somewhere, what happened to Mary F. after 1910, and if there's any info. on John H.'s deceased 1st wife. Thanks, Teri Wotipka teepee@flash.net
