My family has a story that my relative, Achilles Durham brought his mother Elizabeth Cates from Virginia to North Carolina in 1783. She died soon after the trip. There is no record of any Elizabeth Cates anywhere in that time frame. Robert Durham of Virginia had a daughter who married a Stapp and other families such as the Creels, and Willhoits. There was an Elizabeth Yates in Bucks County PA which is where my Durhams supposedly came from. There are also Yates in PA and VA during the time frame. I was just hoping that some one just misspelled her name. I've seen stranger things?
Thanks
