Posted on: McDowell Co. NC Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/McDowell?read=490 Surname: Tate ------------------------- My great grandmother Mary Samantha Pendley never married. She had twin daughters named Nora Ellen Pendley and Jane Cora Pendley b.23 Aug 1884 (both twins married a Sullins). Family legend tells that their father was a Doctor Tate from Marion NC, Mcdowell County but I can find nothing about him in any census. Can anyone provide more details? lois@grits.net
