Looking for any kind of information on the John TATE family that lived in Platte county about 1840. John M. TATE and his wife, Jane C.____, were born in VA/WV sometime between 1800 and 1810. They moved to Platte county sometime before 1840. John was a farmer. Their children were: Elizabeth (?m. James Jackson), Ellen (m. Rev. Benjamin Baxter), Mary Jane (m. Washington Cundiff), Laura/Lucy (m. James Slade), and Idris (m. John Baxter). Jane remarried to James M. Craig and lived in St. Joseph. Does anyone know where in VA/WV John and Jane came from? Many thanks for any help given. Audrey
