TATE, FRANCIS, TATE, WILLIAM, HILMACK, MARY AND SELBY, RHODA: My wifes gg grandparents were William Tate and Rhoda Selby. William was born in Nicholas County, Ky on 14 Aug, 1794, married Rhoda Selby (born about 1797 in Worcester County, Md) in Harrison Co., Ky on 2 Mar 1820. They moved from there to Rush County, Indiana and eventually to Jasper County, Illinois by 1851 where Rhoda died 2 Jan 1878 and William on 27 Nov, 1887. Family History indicates that Francis and Mary Tate were his parents; however, I have never been able to prove that. Francis married Mary in Bourbon Co., Ky on 2 Nov, 1795 (after Williams supposed birth). Francis is shown in the Nicholas Co, Ky Tax Records for 1800 through 1807. Mary shows up in the 1810 Harrison County, Ky census without an adult male, but several children, none over the age of 10. Mary remarried to Samuel Caswell in Harrison Co in 1811 and died there in Feb 1839. Can anyone shed any more light on this Francis Tate and Mary Hilmack?
