Samuel Webster Forrester married Millie Ann Cates on November 18, 1879 prior to her giving birth to their only child, a son, named "William Ernest Forrester" who was born on Dec. 8, 1879. Extraneous info on "Find A grave" states that in the Hickman County census she is found living in her parent's home and often gave her last name as "Cates".[1] Apparently, this was a marriage intended to give their child a legitimate name only. Although this was never discussed in my family, I had assumed that she died in childbirth. Date of dissolution of marriage unknown, but Sam re-married wife #2 in "1886" therefore, it can be deduced that it took place in the years after 1879, but prior to 1886 when he remarried to Miss Elizabeth "Betty" Cannon Forrester. Millie was buried in "Frazier Cemetery", Vernon, Hickman County, Tennessee.
