Comments:My Y-DNA matches only the Thorogood Pate Line.
I'm pretty sure my ggrandmother Eliza Love had an affair with either Benton or Alfred Pate in Howard County Arkansas about 1899, she later went to be with her father Henry Davis in Atlanta LA to have my grandfather, Henry Allen Love. She said her husband, Robert A. Love, left her to help a neighbor move and disappeared. I guess Robert found out about her affair and left her with 3 daughters. He was later found in AR listed as a widower.

Pate, his father was Ira Watson Pate - both from Bloomington, Indiana. Ira's father was Jesse Pate - unsure of his birth info.

If you were me, how would you go about tracing my lineage?

Thanks in advance,

Comments:Hi, I have read most of the post and have signed a couple of years ago. All is very interesting. Jeremiah Pate is my great great grandfather. I know he was born in March of 1801, I think in McMinnville, TN. He fought with Andrew Jackson at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend at age 12 or 14 and settled here in South Alabama where he is also buried. He fought the Creek indians in this area as well as traded with them on the Choctohatchee River near here. Do you happen to have information on Jeremiah Pate. I think his fathers name was John but not sure.

Thanks

Comments:I'm a descendant of Charles Raeburn Pate, b. circa 1770, d.1837, Pickens Co., Al. Still looking for maiden name of his wife, Millie, b. S.C. 1765 (as per census). Research has shown that Charles was the son of Daniel Pate of Wayne Co., N.C. who d. in that state. I descend through Charles and Millie's daughter, Sarah, who married Isham Parker in Morgan Co., Ga. where the Pates and Parkers livd before the move to Ala. by 1820. Has anyone found what Millie's maiden name was? Her given name may have been EMILY as she had a granddaughter of that name. An Ala. church roll gives her name as Amelia. It might also have been Mildred. This has been a puzzle to generations of researchers. It is beleived that she was born in Marlboro Co. in S.C. Love this research site.

Comments:I am a descendant of Abimelec Pate and his wife, Susannah, though his youngest child, Sarah Pate who married Cornelius Smith from Ireland and lived in Atascosa Co., Texas after she came from Alabama with other Pate family siblings.

After the death of Abimelec and Susannah, several of the children moved to Texas and several settled in Milam Co., Texas: Joseph, the only son who came to Texas, married Rebecca Fisher in Guadelupe Co., Texas before moving to Milam Co. They had four sons: Lawrence, Benjamin Clayborne, Joseph, and William Elijah. I traced William Elijah to Arizona and found some of his descendants moved to California. I would like to hear from any of his descendants and share my research with them.

Others of Abimelec's children who came to Texas were: Amy Christina who married James Hardcastle; Susan Bimly who married Eli Hardcastle; Amanda who married Alexander Fowler; and Mary Elizabeth who married George Worcester. All these four families settled in Milam Co. but some of them moved on after quite a few years. Many descendants are buried in Milam Co. Many descendants now are spread in other states, while some few descendants are still living in Milam Co. or nearby.

I would be glad to share my research with any descendant who wishes to write and tell me about how he or she descends from Abimelec and share information they have about their line. I have a few photos and some records I can share if you will share your photos and records with me.

I am writing a summary essay for my immediate relatives, describing the family's travels from Tennessee to Texas and their life TX from the 1850s to 1952.
Calvin Pate and Joseph Pate were brothers, coming to TX with several Wester Familiies with whom they were intermarried. I am trying to find information on their father, Daniel Pate, in the New Bern Distr. of NC, or later in TN (Jefferson, or Rutherford Cys. Trouble is there were two or more Daniel Pates in both NC and Jefferson Cy., TN, and I don't have infrmation to clearly distnguish them.
I think my Daniel Pate may be the one in a 1803 New Bern marriage record, to Polly Mecoy, but later Censuses and our family lore clearly associate Daniel with his widow Hulda Pate who died sometime after 1950.

Comments:Great collection of info here!
However, I have had a bit of difficulty tracing back to my line of the Pate/Pait family tree.
The earliest record I could find is that of the 1880 census, which shows that my family was in Jonesboro, N.C.
The line goes like this: my gg-grandfather was William Pait (b. 1852) and his wife was Maggie Pait (b. 1858) who bore Willber (b. 1878), Donnie (my great-grandfather, b. 1880), Alton (b. 1882), and Eva (adopted, b. 1892). Donnie Pait and his wife Minnie Cooper (b. 1901-1980) had three sons, Donnie, Jr. (1920-1975), Edgar (my grandfather, 1922-1989), and Harry Pait (1923-1979). Edgar married Louise Heverly who bore my aunt Renee (b. 1953) and my father Etienne (b. 1955)...
Here is the catch---> This Pait line is always listed as black, colored, or mulatto. I have run into brick walls everywhere and any help from others with this type of problem or would know the history of black Paits in the Jonesboro, Moore, N.C. area would be of magnificent importance to me and my family. Thanks so much for reading this entry and any future help!

Comments:I am the granddaughter of Clara Trigg Pate and Bedford Leslie Hargis, daughter of Francis Hargis Floore. Your information came up in an internet search. I live in Tallahassee, FL and My brother, Stephen L. Floore, M.D. lives across the state line in Cairo, GA. My mother died in 1998 in Tallahassee. We have a drawer full of old family pictures that Mother never finished labeling. Before mother died she traced the Pate family back to England. Steve has the papers. Before we moved to Florida we were in Richmond, Va. Mother did a lot research in Richmond and in Glouster where Pate house is.

Your information has been helpful because I didn't have any obituaries from newspapers. My mother was 16 when my grandmother died. She was close to her Grandfather, Sebert, so I heard a lot about him growing up. She came back to Tennessee after her mother's death for a few years. Many of the others in your documents I knew.

We are getting ready to move to Nashville. My husband is a senior computer consultant developing computer systems for the state of Tennessee. Thank you again for the information. It is greatly appreciated.

Barney's ancestors are detailed in a pedigree chart all the way back to Thorogood Pate, but in trying to verify the information, I am encountering some difficulty in deciphering the different ancestor's information. I have already used your wonderful website to contact a Pate genealogist for information. Thank you for this wonderful resource.

Comments:Arrangements have been made for attendees of the Pate Genealogical Convocation to have dinner at the Carrot Tree Restaurant in Yorktown on Friday, the first day of our Convocation on September 12. We will be reserving the entire restaurant for the evening. Here is a link to restaurant reviews on Trip Advisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g60775-d611749-Reviews-Carrot_Tree_Yorktown-Yorktown_Virginia.html

The restaurant leases the building from the National Park Service. This historic building has been called the Cole Digges House since 2003, but was known for many years as the Thomas Pate House. I believe the evidence supporting this name change is unconvincing, and I intend to challenge it with appropriate authorities (at long odds against me).

Thomas Pate bought Lot 42 in 1699 and built a home on it in early 1700 apparently, where he lived until he died in 1703. After two other owners, Cole Digges purchased the lot in 1713. An NPS report concluded that Digges built the current building in the 1720s. In any case, it is said that this building is the oldest home and second oldest structure still standing in Yorktown founded in 1691.

If you subscribed to The New Pate Pioneers, published by Bernie Dudek, the Thomas Pate House was on the front cover.

I have invited a Ranger of the National Park Service to join us as our guest. She will make a presentation on the history of this particular town lot, including the ownership by Thomas Pate.

The restaurant will only seat 70 guests, 45 downstairs and 25 upstairs, so seating may be limited. Reservations will be taken at a later date, about mid-August, and the following priorities will be observed. Since the Convocation is sponsored by the Pate DNA Project and likely would never have happened without the Project, the first priority will be given to actual members of the Project, and second priority will be to our invited speakers and persons who have sponsored members of the Project. In both cases, all persons traveling to Colonial Williamsburg with those in these two priorites will have the same standing. For all other attendees, reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

Anyone wishing to attend this Convocation should contact me at your earliest convenience. Reservations for the meeting are now being processed.

Comments:My husband is Clyde Talmage Pate, Jr. born Dec. 31, 1932, Manila, PI. His father Clyde Talmage Pate was born in Johns, Alabama on or about Nov.1, 1904. Clyde's parents were Ica (called Icy) Jones Pate and John W. Pate. Clyde was the eldest of four children. Twin girls, Ollie and Allie were two years younger and Carol (called Bud) was about ten years younger. In around 1912 the family moved to Tucson, AZ because Icy had TB. She died within months after arriving in Tucson. John (sometimes called Jack) put Clyde, Ollie and Allie in a state run orphanage. He kept Bud who was about two years old. The twins were adopted by two different families and Clyde ran away from the orphanage and was on his own from then on. HELP-- we know nothing about my husbands extended family. Does anyone know anything about this fractured family? Thank you, Marilyn Anne Pate/ Mrs. Clyde Talmage Pate, Jr.

Comments:Lodging at Colonial Williamsburg for the Pate Genealogical Convocation

Our negotiations with Colonial Williamsburg (CW) have been completed. CW has six different lodging options, and our attendees can choose between them. Governor's Inn has the lowest rate of $79, which also includes a complimentary breakfast. The next five properties have progressively higher rates with increasingly higher discounts. At the high-end, we are being offered the world-class Williamsburg Inn (Superior room) for $245, compared to its regular rate of $349.

Our attendees will be able to purchase a conference pass for the CW Historic Area and museums for $15 a person to cover their length of stay. The pass will be provided at no cost for stays of four nights or more.

More information on these lodging options can be found at this link: http://www.history.org/visit/stayWithUs/

A map of CW showing lodging locations is at this link: http://www.history.org/visit/images/historic_area_map.pdf

This is a general public notice. A private mailing will be sent to persons who have given notice of their intention to attend. Attendees will be provided full lodging details as soon as CW has provided our Convocation with our Group Code and a toll-free phone number, perhaps as early as tomorrow.

If you plan to attend, it is important that you notify A. J. Pate by email promptly so that adequate plans can be made for the Convocation. Also, some future announcements will be made only to attendees. You will not have to make a final committment until reservations are required.

It list him being born March 18, 1801 in the state of Tennessee and died here in, at the time, Dale County, but now is Houston County Alabama. He joined the army at age 12 and fought at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend with Andrew Jackson, and migrated here to this part of Alabama where he was one of the first settlers trading with the Creek Indians on land he homesteaded and to this day the creek on the land is known as Pate's creek and the landing, Pate's landing. He, through genealogy done by a cousin of mine, who has since deceased, found Jeremiah Pate to be my Great-Great Grandfather. His daughter Elizabeth M. Pate, known as Millie, married Handy W. Peters and this is how my ancestry to Jeremiah Pate came to be.

Comments:SPEAKERS ANNOUNCED FOR THE PATE GENEALOGICAL CONVOCATION

All the greatest genealogists of the Pate family are planning to attend the Convocation and to participate as speakers and/or panelists!

Together for the first time, they are:

Jinks Pate-Lee
Helen Pate Ross
Clovis Herring
Joel Pate
Dr. Jim Peacock
Bernie Dudek

Of course, Jinks and Joel are well-known and respected by all for their decades of unselfish service to other genealogists and persons just wanting to know a little more about their own Pate families. They never turn down a request for information or help. Jinks is also a co-administrator of the Pate DNA Project.

Helen Pate Ross has published several books of genealogy. Her best-known work is "Thomas Pate, d. 1774, Sussex County, Virginia", currently out of print, which is the definitive work on this particular subject and the Pate families in Colonial Virginia in general.

Dr. Jim Peacock is perhaps best known for his booklet "Pate Pioneers on the Pee Dee River", which represents the primary resource on the tangled Pate family lines in North Carolina, with a particular focus on sorting out the various men named Thoroughgood Pate. Dr. Peacock is meticulous and scholarly in documenting his research.

Clovis Herring initiated and published "The Pate Pioneers" from 1986 to 1991, a much-admired quarterly journal of Pate genealogy. Bernie Dudek then published "The New Pate Pioneers" for 1996 to 1997, in the tradition of Clovis' earlier work. Both of these hard-to-find journals are much sought after by Pate genealogists.

The subjects and topics which these great genealogists will present will be announced at a later date, and all attendees will be given an opportunity to also give their suggestions and input for discussion.

The Convocation is open to all who wish to attend. I encourage all of you to inform all your fellow researchers and contacts about this Convocation. It is not only an opportunity to meet and hear our great Pate genealogists in person, but also to meet many other "cousins" we have been exchanging information with over the years. It is being sponsored by the Pate DNA Project as a public service for all our Pate relatives and other interested persons.

The Convocation will be held in the beautiful and historical Colonial Williamsburg the weekend of September 12 to 14, beginning mid-day on Friday and ending at mid-day on Sunday. Lodging arrangements are being finalized, but there will be several options available, ranging from budget facilities to luxurious.

There are many exciting developments being planned, and announcements will be made over the next several months as they are completed.

If you plan to attend, it is important that you notify me by email so that adequate plans can be made for the Convocation. Also, some future announcements will only be made to attendees. You will not have to make a final committment until reservations are required.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so make every effort to attend!

I am connected to the Pate line through my Padgett line (IN) and have been working with a researcher in IN clearing up problems on my connection. Mahala Keesling married Abraham Pate, they had a daughter, Jessie, who married Charles Arthur Padgett. Abraham was the son of Henry Clay Pate and Elizabeth Mary Staley, and Henry was the son of John Jackson Pate and Rhoda McCormack, who who was the son of Anderson John Pate and Rhoda Doran. I then have his parents as John Pate and Judith Guthrie and that is where our file differs. I have no parents for John Pate.

So - can we figure this out together? Thank you.

Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography

This book includes articles on Richard Pate and John Pate of Gloucester County.

Richard was a member of the House of Burgesses for Gloster (sic) in 1653 (p. 302). He patented 1154 acres of land on the north side of York River.

Col. John Pate, nephew of Richard Pate, was appointed a justice of Gloucester in 1660 and became a Councillor of State in 1670 (p. 131). In 1672, his nephew, Thomas Pate, was appointed administrator of his “considerable estate” (p. 131).

On p. 132, a biography of Nathaniel Bacon states that his Rebellion ended upon “his death in Gloucester County at Major Pate’s place, on Poropotank Creek, October 26, 1676.”

Comments:EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE PATE FAMILY!

The Pate DNA Project is sponsoring a Pate Genealogical Convocation to be held in Colonial Williamsburg this coming September!

This will be the first event of its kind ever held for the Pate family. And it will be the greatest gathering of Pate genealogists in our history! All our pre-eminent and most respected genealogists are planning to attend this event. They have all agreed to either make presentations or serve on panels.

Attendance will not be limited to just members of our Project, but will be open to all who wish to attend. Please pass on this announcement to everyone you know who may have an interest in attending. It is not only an opportunity to meet our great genealogists in person, but also to meet many other "cousins" you have been exchanging information with over the years.

Colonial Williamsburg was chosen because of its beauty, uniqueness, and its historical significance, particularly for our family. Our family's roots are fimly planted in early Colonial Virginia, with prominent members of the family serving in the Council of State and the House of Burgesses. A paper, "The Pate Family in Colonial Virginia", is being posted separately.

The meeting is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of September 12 to 14, beginning mid-day on Friday and ending at mid-day on Sunday.

It is essential that we determine expeditiously how many plan to attend, so that lodging and related arrangements can be negotiated.

Please notify me by email if you plan to attend and how many will be in your party. This will give us a preliminary number for planning purposes, and you will not have to make a final committment until reservations are required.

There are many exciting developments being planned, and announcements will be made over the next several months as they are finalized.

This will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so do not miss this grand occasion! You will be very proud to have been a part of it.

Comments:My father was Dennis Allen Pate(1906-1987). He was the third youngest or fourteen children; nine boys and five girls. His parents were Christopher H. Pate and Sarah Thomas Pate. Christopher was borned in 1854 in Trinity County, Texas, and died in Blue Ridge, Texas in the year 1944. I am looking for Christopher's line. I think his father was in Tyler, Texas in 1850 amd was from Tennessee. According to an old tape recording made by Christopher before he died, his mother and father was married in Alto, Texas. Christopher also had a step brother named Herman Ettly. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Comments:I descend from Anthony PATE of Warren (now DeKalb) Co.,TN. who settled on the banks of Sink Creek about 1803 near the present day DeKalb & Warren boundry line. He died between 15 OCT. 1821 & 10 FEB. 1826 & is buried beneath a large walnut tree on a knoll a short distance from the Caney Fork River near the line that divides the Counties of Warren & DeKalb.
Two of his Grandsons are named after him... [1] Anthony Thomas FISHER(1826-1889), son of David FISHER(1800-1879) & Harriett PATE(1803/1809-1875) and [2] Anthony Pate ADCOCK(1821-1891), son of Isaac ADCOCK(c1794-1871) & Thomason PATE(c1802-1869).
If there are any male PATE's from this line that are living today, I'm not aware of them.
